Gingerbread Dreams

After all these years, I still love visiting Pinterest to see what kind of outlandishly beautiful things people are posting.  I was pulled in again this past week by some images of incredible Gingerbread House designs.





I think this was all brought on because I have been watching some of the Baking Challenges on TV over the past few weeks.  Anyway, as I started looking at a few of these, I was captured by the pure fantasy and artistry of it all.  I think I would love to just step into one of these magical worlds for a little while.  Hope you enjoy them too!

Very cute idea to do with the kids! (Nice change from decorating a gingerbread house or nice addition to one!) 828885_bear-closeup.jpg (400×450):  



I've made decorated cookies (it's been awhile), but I've never actually made a gingerbread house from scratch.  How about any of you? Every tried your hand at one of these?

Extreme Cold

Winter Chill .... or Back into the Polar Vortex...... or New Year same Old Cold!

Again with the extreme cold! Why won't the cold air stay at the North Pole where it belongs? Anyway, I am not leaving the house for the next week! Meanwhile, it's nice to look at some of these gorgeous photos on my phone while snuggled under a blanket in front of the fire! Here's to warm hearts, warm cats and warm beverages!




Follow CraveCute's board Fall into Winter ~ CC ♥♥♥ on Pinterest.



I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve! 
We went to an early dinner with friends and were home by 9PM!
See you all soon! ~ Diane ★* 。• ˚ ˚ ˛ ˚ ★*

How Pinteresting...

I just heard about this and now I can't stop going back there, over and over. This is still pretty new, so if you haven't heard of it let me explain.


Pinterest is a virtual pinboard. It allows you to organize and share all the things you find on the web. You may browse pinboards made by other people to find inspiration, products, recipes, favorite art, books etc. People are using pinboards to create all kinds of favorite lists for gifts, weddings, party planning, home remodeling or anything you can think of. You can follow other peoples boards and start your own.


This is a visual bookmarking system and the pins have a link that goes directly to the site it was pinned from. You can change and rearrange to your hearts content. It is easy to sign up and free. Go to their website at http://pinterest.com/ and ask for an invite. It usually takes only a short time to receive and e-vite back from them. Then you can start adding your pins all over  the place. If you are a visual person you will love this site. I have added a Pinterest follow button to my site if you would like to check it out right now. Have fun!
