The middle strand of lights went out halfway through decorating so I replaced them without knowing they were garish LED colors.

I collected my first ornament for it in 1997 when Billy was born. He did the ornaments and I did the lights on this one. I know this may not seem Chritsmas-y to some but we love it! WE also watch Die Hard in Christmas Eve. <p></p>Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06008695439453292006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017500419430050263.post-5859632178240942122023-12-15T19:20:00.000-08:002023-12-15T19:20:11.931-08:00GlassTree<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaDYFfu4v6svuvZtAGH4Re__JjifOWTkHgYKqEuWoFwnxr4Wa0skunmWBQDo2SA3l-KmBv28h2CHhJ0-FL_cZA7dceZEJdcfJAob6Y-VCj0hmqc1nWbF37kNsdni6x-3AoZqkCB6oSKoWmlSKWl1MYxQAWUuDK-oCI55DGyFiisifybv73cA57PgB67AQ/s2668/glasstree.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2668" data-original-width="1500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaDYFfu4v6svuvZtAGH4Re__JjifOWTkHgYKqEuWoFwnxr4Wa0skunmWBQDo2SA3l-KmBv28h2CHhJ0-FL_cZA7dceZEJdcfJAob6Y-VCj0hmqc1nWbF37kNsdni6x-3AoZqkCB6oSKoWmlSKWl1MYxQAWUuDK-oCI55DGyFiisifybv73cA57PgB67AQ/s320/glasstree.JPG" width="180" /></a></div><br /> Oh my, I found this beautiful blown glass tree at the thrift store today for $3.50.

I "had" to open everything, the box was taking up too much room. That was my excuse, anyway! It was a good value because it was on sale, otherwise I probably would not have ordered it. While a surprise is always fun, some items I wouldn't have purchased or already had.

You don't have to be a crafter/card maker, any kind of card would be more than welcome, I'm sure.<p></p>Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06008695439453292006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017500419430050263.post-5085213564933695372023-11-29T08:18:00.000-08:002023-11-29T08:18:47.631-08:00Tree For Hawaii<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmtTV8K-N-FSHM0ZjfIM0LK927YFzk86H9Xe3vvel3KMmsnasncZyh6OqP3UZFaLo-eehwDOBkCfrX0Qsqriwcn-XtBWa3O0Onhph2sJycyskyFn2uljv7nEfdR3BzbxbP1A52tNi8MvTl4GQPdAUpDjYTcrNvMiLwrVre_WzLsXDiE5B4dkph2N2e6NA/s4080/PXL_20231122_021036338~2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmtTV8K-N-FSHM0ZjfIM0LK927YFzk86H9Xe3vvel3KMmsnasncZyh6OqP3UZFaLo-eehwDOBkCfrX0Qsqriwcn-XtBWa3O0Onhph2sJycyskyFn2uljv7nEfdR3BzbxbP1A52tNi8MvTl4GQPdAUpDjYTcrNvMiLwrVre_WzLsXDiE5B4dkph2N2e6NA/s320/PXL_20231122_021036338~2.jpg" width="241" /></a></div><br /> There were so many Christmas ornaments that I bought over the years in Lahaina so decorating the tree this year was so bittersweet. I wish the people of Lahaina and Maui peace, love, hope, and happiness in the coming New Year. I also pray that the land stays in the hands of the people of Lahaina, like it was before. <p></p>Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06008695439453292006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017500419430050263.post-7272900141469405232021-06-23T14:24:00.004-07:002021-06-23T14:24:48.910-07:00Globetrotter Beaches<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They are so relaxing and I love listening to either an audiobook or music while I work on them. They also remind me a lot of my Dad, we always had a new puzzle when he came to visit me and I think of him with each new puzzle I start. All but one of these (the sewing room) is a 1000 piece. A few I have purchased at thrift stores and usually have really good luck getting complete ones, but three of them were missing just one piece. Ack! Reminds me of when we were young and my sister would take one piece so she could put the last piece in at the end. </div><br /> <p></p>Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06008695439453292006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017500419430050263.post-89460727957095337902020-11-28T09:11:00.003-08:002020-11-28T09:11:27.656-08:00Puzzling away the Pandemic<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv2A6zIYgteEKivydw_OOEOh-tTL8DsCAuCNF6l0Ycno1dpLrL8B06aW0aQADxQatRQPPqTouEFOLMwBDY6NPdw-_9XreUI9Ov44mhLgrSiCrLqXvp-AarAaafJnz3q0p3fCGlCo-O4Gc/s4608/original_ec1b15ba-fce3-4f22-89e0-bc19c95bcc9c_IMG_20201128_080924.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv2A6zIYgteEKivydw_OOEOh-tTL8DsCAuCNF6l0Ycno1dpLrL8B06aW0aQADxQatRQPPqTouEFOLMwBDY6NPdw-_9XreUI9Ov44mhLgrSiCrLqXvp-AarAaafJnz3q0p3fCGlCo-O4Gc/s320/original_ec1b15ba-fce3-4f22-89e0-bc19c95bcc9c_IMG_20201128_080924.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Completed my fourth pandemic puzzle, this one a 1000 piece from Ravensburger.

So saddened to have lost music legend John Prine, passed away from complications due to COVID-19. He has brought so much joy to my life since I discovered him through my sister, Kathy. <br />
Thanks to Google Play I am able to hear his albums today in loving tribute to him, the first four records so far. I find myself smiling often as I listen, he had a unique way with words and had such a profound understanding of people and the times. A born storyteller. I found out that his father was a tool and die maker, just like mine.

These cute cards were made using the Hunkdory "Little Robin Redbreast" kit and sample patterns in the magazine (from Great Britain). I've never done one of these kits before and it was fun and will go to my collection of cards to pass out at the assisted living center for the coming Christmas 2020 season.</div>

If I could recommend a vegetarian cookbook above all others (except maybe Mark Bittman's, which is also very good), it would be this one by Deborah Madison. You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy all of these recipes, there are so many marvelous ideas for sides and entrees here. You can find a super cheap copy on ebay through some of the Goodwill Industries stores or at your local thrift shop, which is where I picked up mine for about $3 or $4. Well worth it!!Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06008695439453292006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017500419430050263.post-84565120800655184682020-01-30T08:45:00.000-08:002020-01-30T08:45:23.008-08:00Rose gold skies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.<br />
The sky was so breathtaking this morning, turning the front of the house a rose pink color. Nice to see that sun making an appearance! Days like this get us Pacific Northwesterners through so many wet, gray days.Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06008695439453292006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017500419430050263.post-44965222069258688292020-01-24T16:55:00.002-08:002020-01-25T09:50:35.111-08:00Turkey MeatballsThe most tender meatballs we've ever had.<br />
Recipe 1: (The full directions can be easily found if you Google Giada's Turkey Meatballs).<br />
This was a hit and worthy of a repeat some day soon.<br />
1/4 c. plain dried bread crumbs<br />
1/4 c. chopped flat leaf parsley<br />
2 large eggs, lightly beaten<br />
3/4 c. grated Romano cheese<br />
3/4 tsp. salt<br />
3/4 tsp. ground black pepper<br />
1 pound ground turkey, dark meat if you can find it<br />
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil for frying.<br />
Brown meatballs on all sides and then plunk in your favorite sauce and simmer. As always, they are better the next day! I added a clove of minced garlic to the recipe and it was wonderful.<br />

It seems I have a bit of a cookbook obsession. Not making the recipes, just collecting the books.<br />
I've decided to choose one book a week, this one was a random grab, and make my favorite recipes.<br />
This way I won't feel too guilty about buying even more. I just know that I will.<br />
<br />
I like Giada's style, many of her dishes are quite healthy and not the heavy kind of Italian fare, although that is my favorite. If I come across something amazing, I will share it with you.<br />
Hoping to blog more, resurrecting this site because it is already here and I love the name.<br />
Be well and I hope the coming year is filled with so many lovely things for you.

Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Harry Potter with my desktop tree. I made some ornaments for it this year and have ideas for a few more if I have the time. I got the Gryffindor scarf at platform 9 3/4 in King's Cross Station, London. A fun memory for 2018!<br />

Mmm, fall is delicious and smells SO good. Caramel, apples, pumpkin spice- I love these things.<br />
Lawn Fawn Caramel Apple stamp set with matching dies and large stitched apple die were used along with beige card stock and an unknown piece of designer paper from my stack of pre-cut 6x6 pages. I had ridiculous amounts of paper so I cut a bunch of it for gifting and some for myself. Working on my craft room is always a work in progress... Too many supplies and not enough time.<br />
This card was made for the <span style="color: red;"><a href="https://www.lawnfawnatics.com/category/challenges">LAWNFAWNATICS</a> </span>mood board challenge and the Splitcoast daily to use fruit.Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06008695439453292006noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017500419430050263.post-22434952798831510462018-09-12T11:32:00.002-07:002018-09-12T11:32:50.629-07:00Gothic Boo Pumpkins<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Fall is in the air so it is officially autumn, Halloween, and Thanksgiving card time!<br />
This was made using Tim Holtz distress oxide inks with Brushos color crystals for backgrounds. Sprayed sky with Nuvo silver mica mist. Martha Stewart punch for grass, Tim Holtz Gothic Boo Bigz die, retired PSX pumpkin stamps that I just adore and will hold on to forever. Love their little faces. Added some TH glitter to pumpkin tops for those chilly fall mornings.
