DECK THE HOLIDAY'S

  I really liked this project when I was surfing around the net.  It comes from  www.flamingotoes.com .  I hope you like it as much as I have.  The mention of holidays get me going to do new projects and crafts for the coming year.  This would also be a great gift for someone (like a grandma or mom) who like signs, Christmas and loves country decor. Candy Cane Kitchen Sign Hello all!! I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving and are all ready to dive into Christmas! We have been listening to Christmas music and tonight we’re going to watch a Christmas movie and start decorating the house. I’m so excited. :) This is a re-post of my Candy Cane Christmas Sign that I posted over at Tatertots and Jello recently. I’ve added in a couple of pictures and instructions for more details – I tend to over-detail tutorials sometimes and I didn’t want to blast the readers over there with pictures.

   I certainly have been enjoying a lot of pumpkin lately and in particular I have been enjoying transforming the pumpkin pie flavours into different dishes. When I came across the idea of a  pumpkin pie white hot chocolate  recently on  The Luna Cafe  I knew immediatly what my next pumpkin pie experiment was going to be. Not too long ago I had tried a  pumpkin pie milkshake  and a hot version of a pumpkin pie drink sounded perfect for the chilly weather that we have been having. This drink is pretty much as simple as making some white hot chocolate and adding the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spices and it is so worth making! The pumpkin pie white hot chocolate was excellent! It was nice and hot and the white chocolate added the perfect amount of sweetness that went really well with the pumpkin pie flavours. Lesson learned: Don't try to top a hot drink with whipped cream before photographing it as it melts pretty much right away. Pumpki...
