My family had a photo shoot this December. Sarah Whitmore of Sarah Whitmore Photography did the pictures. They turned out great. We couldn't have been more pleased.

A Couple Great Recipes...

I didn't do a menu planner this week...so much going on with Christmas on the way. But we did eat and we had this Southwestern Casserole from For the Love of Cooking. It was delicious and I recommend it.
I am hosting Christmas dinner at my house and we are having Paula Deen's Chicken Florentine Pasta Bake. Another good one and a nice switch from the traditional ham and turkey.

Look what you can do with a grocery bag....
My local, Martin's, uses a holiday grocery bag that can be turned into wrapping paper.
The grocery bags went from this....

Make your own gift tags
This was really easy and inexpensive because I already had the cardstock.
What you will need...
Black Cardstock (I used some leftover from another project)
White marker from Michaels (You could also use gold or silver)
Stickers also from Michaels
I cut a tag freehand and then used it as a guide to make all the others.

Menu Planner
I think most of us feel a little overspent this time of year with Christmas presents, Christmas parties, babysitters. I found this website with some inexpensive meals to try this week.
Sunday - Easy Chicken Pot Pie
Monday - Chipolte Pork Soft Tacos Note...this uses such a small amount of Chipolte Peppers. I froze the leftovers peppers last time and will pull them out for this week's meal.
Tuesday - Homemade Chicken Pizza
Wednesday - Tortellini with Edamame & Smoked Sausage, French Bread
Thursday - Turkey Sliders or Burgers, French Fries

Bird Feeder
Camille and I made these bird feeders using pine cones, yarn, peanut butter and bird seed. It was fun and very easy! Now to bird watching.
Look closely to see them hanging from the trees.

Christmas Decorating Part 4
Don't worry...there is only one more in this series. ;)
We spend most of our time in our kitchen and great room so I wanted to add some festiveness (is that a word?) to this room as well.

Christmas Decorating Part 3
The Dining Room....
I had this wreath as a hand-me-down from my grandmother. I removed the old bow and found this ribbon for around $3.50 at Joann's. Don't forget your coupon.

Christmas Decorating Part 2
The Living Room....
We have an artificial skinny tree from Martha Stewart and Kmart. Our space is not huge so this works nicely and no watering and needles everywhere. We got the tree last year and it appears that Martha isn't working with Kmart anymore.
Don't look too close...the tree is leaning a bit.
Do you see the sword in this picture? We picked up this sword at the Dollar Tree today and I have never seen such excitement in Clyde. He was squealing with delight! Uh-oh! Let's hope the tree makes it until Christmas.
