Building a Gingerbread House

Monday, September 19, 2011
 I don't know if I could eat up a gingerbread house after all of the work that goes into making one, they are just so darn cute! But I do recall in one of my earlier posts about the cute little gingerbread boys and girls my friend gave me, how I gobbled those up with a cup of coffee...mmmm...so good! Has anyone out there actually made a gingerbread house?

UPDATE: I had a video from the History channel here on making gingerbread houses with necco candies, but it was no longer working, so I went to You Tube and found this very interesting video from http://www.youtube.com/user/reinwaldsbakery. The free gingerbread recipe is over 100 yrs. old and can be found HERE. Enjoy! You will need to pause the music player in the left side bar.

A boring day at College.. Later missed the afternoon movie ..Traffic..arghhh !!and I was sure all I need is.. the "Retail Therapy"..

























Jewelery 21
I picked Two Rings..One Owl pendent and a Black Bracelet..
Didn't like the collection much this time.. Hoping to see better stuff when I visit next.. 
Love the rings.. and the Owl pendant for obvious reasons..
and have been eying the bracelet from quite a long time.. so couldn't resist buying ....

Clothes 21..
There were stripes and more stripes this time.. and saw some amazing Boot-cut pants and denims..(they are back with a Bang) ,Need one for my Closet too.. (1 in a basic color is a must have, go for a dark blue shade of denim if u have bigger thighs ..other wise a basic washed one..or torn for the cow boy feel.. )..


Thats it Fashionistas..this was My Confession of the Day.. straight from My Closet..
Stay tuned for My next post on how to recycle ill-fitted denims....

Shaker Woods, Christmas in the Woods

Monday, September 12, 2011
Some of you in the Ohio, Pa. and West Virgina areas may be familiar with Christmas in the Woods at Shaker Woods Festival in Columbiana, Ohio. We have visited there in the past and it's such a fun place to shop for handmade crafts and to indulge in delicious foods.


This year's dates to visit are on October 8th, 9th and October 15th, 16th. We may go this year since we haven't been there in a while. The grounds are beautiful and the smell of food cooking is heavenly! My husband would go just for the food!


The last time we were there, there was a crispness in the air and that cup of hot coffee, hot chocolate or hot apple cider is divine! Entertainment will be provided by B.E. Taylor. If you missed my previous post on B.E.  Taylor, you can find it here.


The craftspeople make their crafts as you watch. So many things to choose from and you can get your Christmas shopping done in one place. If you want some information you can visit their website. http://www.christmasinthewoodsohio.com/index.shtml

All pictures here are from their website. http://www.christmasinthewoodsohio.com/gallery/index.php?x=browse&pagenum=1

You can view many more there. Have a wonderful week!
