I've decided that it'll be fun to always make a cake for Hannah shaped in the number of years she is turning. I made <a href="http://jamespurejoy.blogspot.com/2012/10/number-2-shaped-cake.html">her a two last year</a> and I hope to continue the tradition for a while. So, this past October little Hannah turned three! Crazy. How can she be three already? Anyway, I wanted to make her a three cake so I looked on pinterest and came up with a design to make a number 3 shaped cake. I asked Hananh what she wanted on her cake and she told me "blue flowers". I asked her again a week later and she said "blue flowers" so I guess since she didn't change her mind that's what she really wanted. I'm not big into having fake food coloring in my cake decorations but since it was her one request and since it would be a small part of the cake I figured it would be okay. Plus it's hard to find natural things to turn fondant blue (I even asked a pastry chef). But Hannah loved her cake so all the work was worth it. I really do love making cakes for my littles!</div>

I'll just let you browse through the photos rather than trying to explain every little cut. Sometimes photos really do speak louder than words! Start with two bundt or jello molds! You want doughnut shapes! This cake is pretty simple and only requires you to cut two pieces from each circle.</div>

This was my first time making fondant and it actually was fairly easy to do and turned out pretty good. I just did melted marshmallows and powdered sugar. I didn't really plan on eating it (or having others eat it) so I wasn't too worried about the flavor but they were okay to eat as well as pretty. It's kind of a pain to get the marshmallows to mix with the powdered sugar at first but eventually it's like working with a regular dough.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CcB2EsIcktU/UwQ8Y31EZlI/AAAAAAAAQi0/b-wfrvzqzE4/s1600/20131011_142541.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CcB2EsIcktU/UwQ8Y31EZlI/AAAAAAAAQi0/b-wfrvzqzE4/s1600/20131011_142541.jpg" height="470" width="640" /></a></div>
I bought the little flower cutters at Hobby Lobby and I love the different shapes and colors of the flowers! It was a good choice because hand cutting flowers wouldn't have been so pretty.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n8JFkeM_PHU/UwQ8aknfaoI/AAAAAAAAQjI/Hz0mFtaLhro/s1600/20131011_142546.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n8JFkeM_PHU/UwQ8aknfaoI/AAAAAAAAQjI/Hz0mFtaLhro/s1600/20131011_142546.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
So, I crumb coated my cake...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-naImGE1KPho/UwQ8aAMFiUI/AAAAAAAAQjE/DWbHMtGcN5Y/s1600/20131011_151204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-naImGE1KPho/UwQ8aAMFiUI/AAAAAAAAQjE/DWbHMtGcN5Y/s1600/20131011_151204.jpg" height="640" width="406" /></a></div>
Then added a final coat of frosting.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q3ERoTmQtFg/UwQ8a4F93FI/AAAAAAAAQjQ/zngybXhyrPo/s1600/20131011_163041.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q3ERoTmQtFg/UwQ8a4F93FI/AAAAAAAAQjQ/zngybXhyrPo/s1600/20131011_163041.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
Here's my tip...If you are writing something on your cake use a dowel or tooth pick to write it out first!! Then if you mess up you can just smooth out the frosting and try again before you add your colored frosting to the cake!!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love how it turned out and can't wait to see what Hannah will want on her "4" cake!!<br />

Oh and put the leftover cake to good use...make cake balls and just mix the cake with some leftover frosting then dip them in melted chocolate after they're frozen!<br />

There are SO many things out there to scare a person from even starting this journey. It is OVERWHELMING to say the least. But for me it's all about baby steps and education. My first few steps in this healthier lifestyle journey were to stop buying food with high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors. Since that time we've come a long way and are currently eating a wheat free diet (when possible, we don't worry about it too much when eating at someone's house) and buying whole foods and not really anything processed. It's been an incredible journey and I still have so much to learn but my family and I feel great and confident in our decisions.<br />
<br />
Along with making smarter food choices we've also been making smarter home cleaning and personal hygiene choices. I even make my own deodorant! I'm on my way to being "crunchy". I confess that I used to mock people who were "crunchy" and now I want to be "crunchy". But I've got a LONG way to go. Again, it's all about baby steps. While starting my journey towards less chemically filled bath and body products for my family I came across this great company called <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://shop.trukid.com/?AffId=67%22%3EClick%20here%20to%20visit%20TruKid%3C/a%3E">TruKid</a>. I bought a book bundle and with the bundle received some free sample products to try. The first item that I received from TruKid was the TruBaby sunscreen and we loved it. Shortly after I received my first item I became part of their Mom Tester Community and I received a few other products to test and give feedback on. I have LOVED everything they have sent me. Everything that <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://shop.trukid.com/?AffId=67%22%3EClick%20here%20to%20visit%20TruKid%3C/a%3E">TruKid</a> makes is made with natural ingredients and essential oils. You won't find any harsh chemicals in TruKid's products. They have a couple of great pages on their website that <a href="http://www.trukid.com/trukid-ingredients/">explain all the ingredients that they use</a> and also explain all the <a href="http://www.trukid.com/toxic-bad-guys/">toxic bad chemicals </a>that are commonly found in most products that kids (and adults) use. There's also a great page on<a href="http://www.trukid.com/sun-protection-facts/"> sun protection facts</a> which is really worth reading before summer comes!!<br />

Let me tell you a little bit about some of my favorite products that I have been able to try. The first thing that I love is their Super Cream. This super moisturizing cream is amazing. I have really dry skin in the winter, sometimes my fingers crack and peel. I have tried many different lotions and creams throughout the years but have never found anything quite like this. I LOVE it. It's not greasy, there's no harsh chemicals, the light citrus scent is just right and it keeps my hands moisturized for a long time. I've sorta hijacked this from the kids and just carry it around in my purse during the winter so that my hands don't ever get past the really dry stage. I have to order more of this because my first jar is just about gone. And when the kids do want to use some of this special lotion and I am in a giving mood and allow them to have some I don't feel bad or leery about them having chemicals all over their hands.<br />

Another item that I was able to try is the Sport Stick. This sport stick is SUCH a huge blessing to our family. I know that sounds weird but hear me out. Micah has growing pains...a LOT. Growing pains wake him up in the middle of the night and he wants medicine. We used to give him ibuprofen pretty regularly (well, like once a week at the most) for his growing pains. I would try to just rub his legs to get the pain to go away but it didn't usually work. We kept track of when we gave him ibuprofen so that he wouldn't get it too often but I really didn't like medicating him so much. When I heard about this sport stick I thought it was too good to be true. But seriously people this stuff works. Now, when Micah (or Naomi as she has started getting leg pain too) gets growing pains in his legs and sometimes his arms we tell him to go get the "pain stick". He loves to put it on himself when he's not in too much pain. And it works. He's able to go back to sleep and the pain goes away. I LOVE not having to medicate him anymore for the growing pains that he experiences. And even when I don't always believe that Naomi really has growing pains (she cries wolf a lot) I don't feel concerned or bad about letting her use the pain stick either!! I've even used it on some of my sore muscles as well. Great product. When we run out we will buy more for sure!! So, it's a blessing because it works and we don't have to give Micah medicine for his leg pain as often as we used to anymore!!<br />

Another item we've been able to review is the bath blasts. These are little capsules that you run under the bath water that make amazing bubbles and they smell good too. No more worrying about your kids taking baths with lots of chemicals...no harsh chemicals in these little pods! And the kids LOVE these bubbles, they are big, last long and smell good. Totally worth it!! Here's what TruKid has to say about their bath blasts:<br />

The sunscreen that we got in our first order was great. Easy to apply. Not greasy and it worked great. To think that I wasn't putting chemicals all over my kids gave me such a peace of mind. And we went to the pool a lot last summer (can't wait to do it again this summer) so it was great to know they were covered naturally and they didn't burn all summer long! The idea is to reapply every 80 minutes to make sure you're really covered!! We also got to review the sunny days stick and the kids LOVED to use this and put their own sunscreen on their faces! It's so good to teach your kids healthy habits for their skin and body care.<br />
<br />
I cannot wait to try more of the<a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://shop.trukid.com/?AffId=67%22%3EClick%20here%20to%20visit%20TruKid%3C/a%3E"> TruKid</a> products. I plan on buying some of their shampoos and conditioners. It's another area we're working on. Yes, it needs to be put in the budget because while these items are not as cheap as going to the store and picking up a bottle these items are so much safer for our kids. And since my kids and their health is a top priority for me I want to do my best to help them stay healthy and that includes not dousing their sensitive skin with myriads of chemicals.<br />
<br />
Here's something <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://shop.trukid.com/?AffId=67%22%3EClick%20here%20to%20visit%20TruKid%3C/a%3E">TruKid</a> is really proud of and I can't say I blame them! So excited for them...and for us who get to use these great products!!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This salad is beautiful and delicious. You may serve it as the main meal for lunch or dinner. Or, make it smaller as an entree' to your main course. Either way, it will be a win-win! It will definitely impress anyone and everyone...</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You will need:</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1 head of iceberg lettuce</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(*Cut, and flush with water, drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Cover with more paper towels and place in the refrigerator to chill while draining. This makes the lettuce crisp and cold. Remove just before assembling your salad.)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1/2 pound of bacon, cooked, & crumpled</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(*Prepare a broiler pan with cooking spray, place bacon on pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes till done, check bacon often. This is an easy way to prepare bacon without a mess or splatters. When done, remove bacon and let rest on a paper towel. You will crumble it for the salad. I use kitchen shears to cut the bacon for my crumbles.)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A few small Red and Yellow tomatoes, </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> sliced in half</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3 or 4 stalks of green onions, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">sliced</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1 package of grated parmesan cheese, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">fried, (see recipe below)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1 bottle or jar of Bleu Cheese Salad Dressing</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fried Parmesan Cheese:</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Heat a small frying pan after using cooking spray and some olive oil to prepare the pan.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sprinkle 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese in the pan.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sprinkle with garlic pepper.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The cheese will cook fast, do not leave unattended.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Spray your spatula with cooking spray. Then lift the fried cheese around the edges. Next, flip over the fried cheese, cooking the other side. The second side will cook faster. Remove the fried cheese and place on a paper towel to cool. Repeat as many times as you need for the number of salads being served.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They can be added whole or crumbled on the salad. These may be made ahead of time, even the day before. Store between paper towels on a small plate in a zip top bag.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
For years, before storing Christmas items, I covered my Christmas trees with a plastic paint drop cloth & an old sheet. This year I decided to shrink wrap the Trees...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AVt3YpaVETU/UuCrxN5jEsI/AAAAAAAAQPc/uYP4iqJLjYg/s1600/photo-983.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AVt3YpaVETU/UuCrxN5jEsI/AAAAAAAAQPc/uYP4iqJLjYg/s1600/photo-983.JPG" height="640" style="cursor: move;" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
This idea worked great! I left some of the larger ornaments, decorations and garland on the tree. I packed anything that was delicate or glass. I figured that next year, I could change or add as I set up & decorate. Here is what I used & how:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li> Plastic paint drop cloth; Cover the trees and tape in place. This will protect your items left on the tree. *Items won't stick to the plastic like they will with the shrink wrap. The plastic drop will preserve your items in mint condition.</li>
<li>Shrink Wrap; Wrap the tree from top to bottom. I actually started in the middle of the tree and worked up and over the top of the tree. Then I wrapped back down the tree, continuing down to the bottom. Cut wrap if needed, where you need. What is awesome about the shrink wrap, is you can stretch it to tighten the wrap & secure without using additional tape. It sticks well to itself. I also went under the tree to in close the bottom boughs.</li>
<li>Scissors & tape, use as needed</li>
<li>Cover the tree with the wrap by overlapping the layers. This will make a stronger cover.</li>
<li>Next year, simply cut the shrink wrap off and throw away. Straighten & rearrange your tree as desired.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Just a note: Our trees were easier to move out the front door to the garage, due to the shrink wrap. The tree was tightly contained within the wrap. It was smaller in circumference, allowing it to fix through the front door with ease. A Big Plus...My trees are 8 & 9 feet tall, one skinny, one fat!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Next year I can leave the same garland on the tree or change to a new look. In any case, I would rather redecorate next year than totally " un" decorate now! </div>

<span class="userContent">I needed some end tables! I wanted some that weren't ordinary! I had seen some Roman Capitols in Restoration Hardware...not wanting to spend $$$ for them (each )....I had resigned myself to the fact that they would NOT grace my home! THEN...I walked into TJ Maxx...and there they were...for 1/4 of the price! Whoo-Hoo ....I was SO excited....I bought them and took them home. I have large furniture and the new tables were looking small. But I loved them! Then I spotted the suitcases my mother had just given me....YES! I plopped one on top the table and ....TaDah!!! My new end tables were born!<br />1. Old suitcase, 2. Roman Capitol, turned upside down for a wider floor base, 3. Put the two together, new end table! * I used a piece of rubbermade shelf material between the table & the suitcase...too make sure there was no slippage! Bonus: Extra storage in the suitcase for rarely used items, such as old photographs or souvenirs & such! Like & SHARE this stylish idea today!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This could be a very fun & silly party...Ohhh the possibilities! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lot of Grammar Schools celebrate something like..."Crazy Mixed Up Days"! The kids wear mismatched clothes, silly hair or pajama's to school! So why not take it one more step, coordinate something fun at home & celebrate at the same time!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a great way to use your leftover holiday & birthday paper plates, napkins, cups , cupcakes sleeves, etc., from every past occasion! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, while I was organizing my kitchen...I had a "bright idea"! An after thought really!<br />
Some of the Grandkids had just celebrated Mixed-up Crazy Day at School. I was cleaning out the cupboard where I store all my leftover holiday & birthday plates, napkins, etc.<br />
"Why not organize, divide & bag up a bundle of this stuff and spread the wealth? I had enough products to create 6 or 7 Mixed up Crazy Party bags!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Baking Instructions:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a springform pan with Cooking Spray, then sugar coat the pan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mix together everything for the cake except the Pears...mix well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pour Batter in the pan. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next: Add the pears... place on top of the batter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NOW: Add the Almond Strudel to the top of the pears & cake batter. Pat down lightly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes. Use a toothpick to check cake, should come out clean. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WHEN the cake is done, let cool for 20 minutes before removing the outside ring on the Springform pan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THEN...with a tooth pick poke holes around the top of the finished cake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">**Then drizzle the 1/4 vodka around the top of the cooked cake. Let the cake sit another 10 minutes to allow the vodka to soak in. This step is optional.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time to Serve....with Champagne or Coffee!</div>

How to decorate your Christmas tree the Pine Creek Style way...My version is just that...My version. I am sure there are a ga-zillion articles posted on this subject....BUT this is what works for me...and now several friends, family & my kids are using my method. It seems to work for them!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Every year someone says, "Tell me how to decorate MY tree like that!"</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So here is my untrained opinion on the topic. Have fun, enjoy......</div>

I have two trees this year...this one is my Kitchen Tree...</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
And this is my Living Room Tree...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIBbjynh-8U/Uqe_zfRnuvI/AAAAAAAAP9Q/MdWsI8nP-aE/s1600/DSC04646.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIBbjynh-8U/Uqe_zfRnuvI/AAAAAAAAP9Q/MdWsI8nP-aE/s640/DSC04646.jpg" height="640" style="cursor: move;" width="424" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Start with your tree, check the lights and add any additional lights at this time.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Also place your tree topper on the top and if lighted, check lights.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Don't worry about straightening the branches. Do that as you work and add the garland & ornaments.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Leave the lights on while you decorate. It helps with placement of the ornaments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Place your Christmas tree skirt (or whatever you use) around the base of the tree.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
On this tree I used a yard & a half of burlap around the base. I also placed my cow hide rug under the tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I choose large items I am going to place near the tree , and put them in place.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Sometimes, I move them <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">around </span>until I get the look I want.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
This year I wanted to use my dress form & maybe a chair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Next decorate the top of the tree...front</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
And back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XX6sJVjFWR0/UqfAhFSVxII/AAAAAAAAP94/N60pQl8uzJM/s1600/DSC04670.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XX6sJVjFWR0/UqfAhFSVxII/AAAAAAAAP94/N60pQl8uzJM/s640/DSC04670.jpg" height="640" style="cursor: move;" width="424" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Then I add the garland....I decide the look I want then, I attach the garland.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
This year I used 2 garlands, burlap and a gold-ish colored shear. Start at the top and work your way around the tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
On this tree I placed the garland in a diagonal fashion, alternating the colors. I use the branches to secure the garland in place. I make it a little puffy to give a look of fullness & add demention.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Continue around the tree, adjust as needed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I start with the largest items for the tree first. I used framed black & white photos this year. Same thing for signs and large ornaments. Work around the whole tree. Make sure you look & place items around all the sides. Alternate your pattern while spacing. Secure items with branches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Start adding ornaments, I try to do groupings of 3, and alternate the sizes. Example: 2 medium ornaments & 1 large ornament. The next grouping could be 2 large & 1 medium. Have fun with it!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Before you start, choose your colors & theme. I like to add different styles of floral picks, but keep them in the same color scheme.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The colors on this tree was silver & gold with a touch of bronze. The only additional colors are the muted old world wooden pictures of Mary & Jesus.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I added a mirror on a low easel and a champagne bowl with scented pine cones.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
And a couple of necklaces on the dress form along with a bronze floral picks.</div>

This is a special photo I added this year for my Dad. We lost him last Christmas to Cancer. He shared with me his "love of Christmas" and his decorating ideas. He loved the Holidays! He made a living as a mail carrier & a fireman. The framed photo is from his special tree last year that includes a photo of him while on his mail route.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Want something different from the traditional Turkey Dinner?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was looking at options. A Regular Turkey can be boring in flavor for me! I love a smoked Turkey or just the dark meat. My taste buds demand more!!! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While watching a TV program, we saw a recipe from the Medieval Period being prepared.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This style of recipe has been around since the "ages of time"!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are SO many different versions and preparations. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Simply speaking, this recipe is leftover's blended together,</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> (Or as we call them...RE-RUNS).</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This recipe uses left over meats to prepare another meat based meal. Combining and stretching your leftover meat scraps, nuts, spices & veggies. The base consists of several types of meat, mainly Beef, Pork, Poultry...mixed & blended together. Kind of a Kitchen Sink recipe!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was very excited when I was contacted by <a href="http://www.staples.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Staples</span></a> to receive a pair of <b><a href="http://www.staples.com/Beats-By-Dr-Dre-Studio-Headphones-High-Definition-Black/product_646079" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">beats</span> <span style="color: black;">by dr. dre studio</span></a></b> for review. My husband and I have been looking for a good pair of headphones for a while. We had heard {beats by dr. dre studio} were pretty nice and I couldn't wait to test them out.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While waiting for my headphones to arrive, I got a special lil surprise in the mail from my contact, Jessica. It was a Staples<span style="color: #cc0000;"> <a href="http://www.staples.com/Staples-Easy-Button/product_606396" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Easy Button</span></a></span>. LOL I couldn't help but crack a smile. My life just became easier. YAY! My kids have since been pressing the button and the <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>"that was easy"</i></span> verse has been a regular sound here in my house. Although they were a little disappointed when it didn't make their homework magically get done! Gotta love that easy button. Getting a {Lot of Laughs} over here! Thank you, Jessica!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">As soon as the <a href="http://www.staples.com/Beats-By-Dr-Dre-Studio-Headphones-High-Definition-Black/product_646079" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">headphones</span></a> arrived I was impressed. Impressed with the packaging (yes, I loved the box it came in) quality, sound, carrying case and that I could use them for phone calls. I immediately put them to use. First we all (the kids and I) tried them out by listening to some music. The music sounded clear and precise. We all wanted to use them all night. When my husband got home he tried them out too. He said they were awesome and we got a kick out of him singing out loud. He even tried to steal them from me to take on the road. Nope, they are mine! LOL Ok, maybe I will share a little, but not just yet.</span></span></span></h5>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-llXhHFyzhBI/UmTewMkNHzI/AAAAAAAALsY/PARShdyB4PY/s1600/s0476314_sc7.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-llXhHFyzhBI/UmTewMkNHzI/AAAAAAAALsY/PARShdyB4PY/s320/s0476314_sc7.jpeg" width="169" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Next, I tried them out while making some phone calls. While they don't cancel out all noise (kids playing in the background) they do cancel it out enough so I can actually hear what the other person is saying. With other headphones I can still hear my kids and I have to stop and tell them to quiet down while I talk. With these I don't have to at all. I also worry about the other person hearing the kids in the background, but with the beats by dr. dre studio I don't. The microphone does a great job of canceling out the background noise. I tested this out in the car, where it gets pretty loud sometimes and it passed. I also want to mention that the transition from music to a phone call is smooth and when you hang up, it goes back to your music with ease. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The earcups size and cushion make the headphones very comfortable to wear. They are just the right size for children, teens and adults. I do have to say though at the cost of these headphones, I myself plan on only my husband and I using them and possibly supervised use for the kids. The headphones are durable and I think they would be just fine for kids use, but it's our preference to keep them for adult use most of the time. The headphone case is very impressive with its rigid construction. I didn't even know they came with a case, so I was excited to know I had somewhere to safely keep my <a href="http://www.staples.com/Beats-by-Dre-Headphones/cat_CL210844" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">headphones</span></a> and cords all in one place. This case will keep your headphones safe and together when traveling too!</span></div>

Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound. But people can't really hear it with normal headphones. Most headphones can't handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line, the music doesn't move you.<br />
<br />
With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear, and listen to the music the way they should: the way I do." - <b>Dr. Dre</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>It's All About Sound</b><br />
Three years of thorough research and development resulted in the most incredible headphone speaker ever built. Beats features highly advanced materials and construction to deliver a new level of audio accuracy and clarity. Combining extra-large speaker drivers and a high-power digital amplifier, Beats delivers an unprecedented combination of super deep bass, smooth undistorted highs, and crystal clear vocals never heard before from headphones.<br />
<br />
<b>Less Noise, More Music With Powered Isolation</b><br />
Today's digital audio recording technology gives music more detail than ever before. Unfortunately, the details get easily lost in today's noisy world: on the street, on the bus, on the plane. The best listening experience isn't just about what you hear, but what you don't. Monster's powered isolation technology actively cuts external noise, so you experience all the rich details your favorite artists want you to hear.<br />
<br />
<b>Extreme Comfort is Music to Your Ears</b><br />
With Beats, you feel the music, not the headphones. Spacious earcups give you extra room for a higher level of listening comfort. Plush ear cushions covered with ultra-soft breathable materials keep you cool even when the music's hot.<br />
