Happy Thanksgiving...
The biggest turkey I've ever seen is in my oven. Rich's whole family plus my parents are here for Thanksgiving...25 of us in all. Since this bird cooks for 7 hours and we're eating in the early afternoon, I thought it best to cook it today and slice and heat tomorrow. I hope it's a good plan...we'll see.I also made the stuffing and cranberry relish today. My mom made broccoli caserole and sweet potato pudding today. Tomorrow morning, my father will make potatoes augratin and macaroni and cheese. As soon as I wake up, I'll put the rolls out to rise. And all of Rich's family will bring a dish. So I think we're set. I'm sure you are up to the same sort of business I jus

angels, frosting, and worried looking turkeys...
These are heading out the door today...I'm terrible at keeping secrets and I just couldn't wait to show you these paper dolls for a swap. I will show you just these two images though and will catch you up on the details later.

cupcakes, playdough, and crafting!
If ever a day you'll want to visit the Powers' household, it's today...We're making cupcakes (with sprinkles) and homemade playdough (scented and dyed with kool-aid) and we're crafting like crazy.Don't you want to come over?Alfredo's feeling so much better and we are celebrating that with lots of fun. He's napping now but we whipped up the cupcakes before he went down (with promises of frosting fun and taste-testing when he wakes up!)

it was a bella-bration!
I'm back from Silver Bella...what a party it was! It was so much fun meeting new people and reuniting with old friends.Want to see what I made in my classes?First up, Rosary-inspired necklace with Kaari Meng. I cannot believe that I really made this necklace. I mean, just look at how beautiful...
