Bundles of Insane Apple Goodness
I have three points to make on today’s post. When a favorite blogger quits blogging it is like an old friend moved away to a third world country. Sometimes, I do use a tube of prepared bread-like substance. I refuse to name a recipe “dumplins.” To address my first point… Who else misses Jen at Juanita’s…

Santa Fe Christmas

Make Your Own Gift Bags and Go Retro
I become even more retro and vintage at Christmas time. I think as I get older, I enjoy more retro stuff. Er…or maybe it is me that is actually become more vintage. Anyhoo, I found some old forgotten sticker paper in our office/guest room and I went nuts printing vintage images for packages…
