As in the past years I make up a variety of sweets for the holidays. Certainly nice to be able to pull them out of the deep freeze at a moments notice. This morning I decided it would be a good day to make some of the goodies... so during the course of the morning I fixed a double recipe of Ginger Crinkles Cookies, a big batch of brown sugared pecans and some peanut clusters (as requested by Leon).
Our dining room table Christmas decoration has stayed pretty much the same for several years now. Some years it has tall tapers in it..then other times just one candle....this year I added the glass container for the candle. This center piece is all arranged on one large metal tray. We use our dining room table with each meal so I want something that is easy to move - with no re-arranging again.
The table runner is one I used last year ~ liked it then ~ like it now. Today's thankful note: plenty of hot water - used a lot of it while in the kitchen today - in fact ran two loads in the dish washer - and then had several large items that I did by hand.

Your centerpiece is lovely ,I hope your hubby feels better soon ,knee surgery usually takes about 6 weeks to recover from .It's funny how we take these things for granted hot water , electricity , heat etc , what would we do with out them ,we are truly blessed .
Cold here too!--no cookie baking but I did make a big pit of chicken noodle soup to warm our bones.
Your decorations look wonderful!
Two dishwasher loads in one day sounds like a weekend at my house! Your treats will be wonderful when you sneak them out. :)
Good Morning, Amelia! Sounds like some tasty goodies you made!
Hope that Leon is improving quickly with his knee!
Oh, and you asked about my cricut machine. My MIL gave me one for Christmas last year, and I have really enjoyed it! I just found out that you can buy transfer sheets to go over the letters (made from vinyl adhesive sheets) after you cut them, before you take them off the cutting sheet, that will "keep them together", so that you could make those quotes to go on your wall. Does that make sense? LOL! I have really enjoyed mine, and the kids keep me busy with school projects, making letters! :)
