Need a Cute New Year Desktop?

I love stuff like this. Who doesn’t?

Super cute penguins on a lovely winter day…and a handy calendar! =-)

Caroline Johansson, a freelance graphic designer/illustrator creates great art – and I am loving this cute little desktop background she made for all of us to enjoy. Go here to download it for free. It comes in several different sizes, so there’s sure to be one you can nab.

While you’re over there, might as well take a peek at some of her other work, too. She’s great~!

Happy Twenty-Twelve~!

Some say…”two thousand twelve”…and some say…”twenty-twelve”…How do YOU pronounce the year? And is there really a conflict on the pronunciation?

I’m going with “Twenty-twelve”.

And now, my dears, a song:  [clears throat]

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
and surely I’ll buy mine !
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

Wasn’t that grande? No matter how you choose to say it, it’s here and I wish you the absolute best for this year~!

Christmas Greetings

Everyone is saying it: “Christmas is HERE already! Can you beLIEVE it?!?” I’m joining that chorus because I’m on key. Where did 2011 fly off to? It’s nearly gone – but our family has had some wonderful memories this year. Hope yours did, too, and hope you took lots of photos to look back on in 10 or 20 years from now.

We have received lots of holiday cards this season [even though our family didn't send any out this year!] – and I have enjoyed them all. My favorite just came, though…it might be my most fav ever, and here it is:

Mm – pure, basic and lovely. Why do I love it so much? Because it is real. We know that Mary and Jesus were real, but why is it that they are always pictured together so formally? Mary must have really loved her son – so, so much! It’s just perfect to see the actual human emotion shining in this one. So glorious~!

Here’s hoping that you and your family have a most merry Christmas celebrating your traditions and feasting~!

Happy Thanksgiving

Herb-Roasted Turkey: recipe here

“Thanksgiving is a holiday of peace, a celebration of the simple life…a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year – and the deep, deep connection of all things with God.”- David Grayson

May you

Gourmet S'mores

“Let’s have a bonfire!” was one of the first suggestions made when our family was making plans to visit our friends on their farm. I chimed in “Oooo, and can I make s’mores? I mean, GOURMET s’mores? I’ve been wanting to try out this marshmallow recipe anyway!” Yes, right then and there I was offering
