It’s the week before Christmas and I wonder if you’re saying things like…
How am I going to get it all done?
I still have shopping to do!
I haven’t wrapped anything yet!
I need to get some baking done!
If you’ve uttered those words recently, I want to give you a word of encouragement! Continue reading “Help For Your Scurrying and Worrying”
Cold winter days just need hearty soups and stews, both to warm the body and comfort the soul!
One day last week I decided to make an old favorite stew recipe of mine – Amish Stew, and I went to my blog to pull up the directions, and I couldn’t believe it when I discovered I haven’t shared this gem of a recipe with you! Let’s fix that today!

What a beautiful embellishment a bow is on a package or wreath. I attended a Christmas Memories class at a lovely shop here in Johnson City and watched as the instructor immensely changed the look of a wreath simply by changing out the bow. It adds “that final touch,” doesn’t it?
I’ve had so many tell me they struggle with bow-making, so I thought I’d refresh your Christmas prep (and your packages and wreaths!) with a lesson. Here are step by step pictures for you. Grab a piece of wired ribbon and try to make one as you follow the Continue reading “Learn To Make a Bow”
