Happy New Year!

If I were having a New Years Eve party, it would like something like this....








Sadly I will have to wait until New Years Eve 2010 to try these ideas out. What will your New Years Eve be like?

Happy Howlidays

I'm sure all you dog lovers out there get your furry friends some kind of Christmas goodies. I stumbled upon this easy recipe from Paula Deen...I have already made a ton for my two hounds and they LOVE them! I'll be baking up more for all my family and friends with dogs. Bone appetite!




Found this cute bone shaped tin at Traget for $2.99

Watch out Martha

I enjoy cooking, but I love baking. Cookies however, are my weakness. I can do slice and bake like no other...but making cookies from scratch has never turned out well. Last year I saw Martha make these on her show....


This year I decided to tackle her recipe for cut out cookies and royal icing. This is what I ended up with...


Not to shabby, and even my husband agreed they were delicious. You can find Martha's recipe here. Happy baking to you!

Puppy Love

This week I received a flyer in my mailbox from Four Legged Creative. They offer adorable and sylish tote bags, t-shirts, and other items for the "stylish dog owner". And the best part....a portion of your purchase is donated to animal rescues and causes. What a stylish way to show your love for dogs and give something back!

My personal fave.....

New Inspiration

Have you checked out House Beautiful lately? They have featured 20 new interior designers to watch. Some of my faves....
