My favorite part of the Holiday season is people. Strangers smile at each other and we all dream of Peace On Earth.

One super easy time saver is to put several trash bags in the bottom of the wate basket. That way when you fill one you will have another right there to use.

WOW-Finally there is someone with my quirky taste. I would love to win this collection for more ideas to incorporate in my nest.

We eat a lot of rice and pasta, so I am always watching for new ways to prepare these basic foods. Also, I love chocolate and look for any excuse to eat it.

Country Cottage is the look I love. Since my favorite daughter-in-law bought and furnished our home for us, my decorating desires are limited to small touches.

I have a new favorite color almost daily-I might see a picture or ad and fall in love with the color. Today I am in to sea blue, tomorrow?

I just brought my husband home from am eight day stay in the hospital. Having him back home makes everything beautiful.

Pot Roast, Short Ribs, Beef Stew-I could go on and on. I use my slow cooker at least once a week during fall and winter. I was so happy to see this giveaway. My slow cooker is on its last legs.

These sets are absolutely gorgeous. It is very hard to pick just one, but if I have to-River Bed. I love the modern feel of these sets.

Gazpacho made mostly with ingrediants from my garden and sliced tomatoes with Feta Cheese and a dash of olive oil.

We have very limited closet space and everything gets crammed in. If I forget to hang something in the shower the day before, I simply can't wear it without looking "frumpy" I would love to have ...

Safeway Stores have a whole section of organic products that I shop frequently. I also regow my own salad mix minus any chemicals.

I didn't make any ice cream yet but I did devour my share, and then some, of French Vanilla Ice Cream.

Unusual and Dramatic are the words that come to mind. I think I have the perfect spot to hang it.

I do a lot of needlework and this lamp would be perfect. I'm crossing my fingers and toes. LOL

Since ice cream is one of the four basic food groups I try to include it in my diet everyday LOL I have yet to meet and ice cream flavor I didn't love.

My home state, Washington, has so many wonderful parks and beaches. We don't need to go far to be in another wonder land.

There is no such thing as bad ice cream (unlless you are dieting). I am a big fan of french vanilla ice cream and would love to be able to make it myself.

I have several quilt tops cut out that need to be assembled. My old machine is pretty clunky and refuses to sew ower seams. This new machine would definitely see a lot use.

It's not summer without homemade ice cream in my house. We love fresh strawberry best.
