Time Flys!

I can't believe Christmas is almost here. Wow! Where has the time gone? Sorry I haven't posted more graphics. I have been running around this place like a chicken with it's head cut off. lol. Believe me it's a sight to see with me. lol. I always wait right at the last to wrap all the gifts. I am not a big wrapper person. lol I have never had the patience with that. I got a wonderful surprise last weekend. My daughter Josie came in over the weekend to see us. It was so nice. She is in the Air Force and I didn't think she would be able to get away but she did. That was a wonderful Christmas present right there!

I have to do some baking today. I pray I can fit everything in. If not then so be it. I decided I am not going to stress over it. Just enjoy everything. I hope yall enjoy the graphics today. Just right click and save. Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas!!! Dena

Hope everyone is doing well today. Wished I would have posted sooner, but I woke this morning with a cold. Our weather here in Texas is always crazy. We can have 3 days of cold cold weather and the next few days can be hot hot hot. lol. It has been chilly here and I have been going in an out of the house. I think that is how I caught my cold. Sneezing and coughing. So no energy today. I hope tomorrow I will be better and I can make some good soup. Soup is always good for the soul.

Tomorrow I will share with you another recipe. Tonight I think I am going to lay down early and shut out the world. This body needs sleep. lol. Wishing all of you sweet dreams and I almost forgot thank you for your comments and followings again. You are appreciated!

A Touch Of Peppermint

FREE Graphic for you.

Well its finally Friday. This week has seem to have flown by. I hope each of you are enjoying the free graphics I am sharing with yall. You can do so much with these graphics. Make labels for presents, cards, ornaments. Lots of things. This graphic to day I am sharing with you brought back a memories for me. The peppermint wheels. I love peppermints especially during the winter time. I remember as a child my Mother would buy my brother an I a big round stick of peppermint. It would take us days to eat that thing. Most of the time we could never finish it, but it sure was fun trying too. lol Every year I always get peppermint in my stocking still. I really enjoy that, brings the kid out in me still. lol. Many ice-cream makers make the Peppermint ice cream and it is good, but I have a recipe for you to have that I really believe you will enjoy. Very simple and easy to make. You will enjoy sitting by the fire as you nibble on this wonderful treat. I know we all don't need the sugar but just a little won't hurt will it? lol And I know it's so much easier to run to the store an just buy some, but really it isn't the same when you know you made it yourself and your kiddos can see Mom or Dad make them homemade ice cream. I know my kiddos enjoy watching me make different ones for them to try. So I am sharing with you another sweet recipe for your taking. I hope you give it a try. Again thanks to each of you for stopping by my little place on the world wide web and sharing your time with me. I am still visiting yalls blogs and putting each of you down for the giveaway. I really do appreciate you. Have a blessed day and weekend. ~Dena
