By the time you all read this, I will be flying to see my sister's new little munchkin in Florida. I leave at 6 am. Those of you who know me well can laugh now. I won't be coherent until I hit Denver at 10 am. That said, I thought I'd leave you...

White Christmas (part 1)

nobody@vox.com(Rosemoor) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 00:39:43 -0800

Here come the White Christmas images, though I must admit that I've had to concede to including green this year. It keeps sneaking in and looking right, so it will be there too. The berries and rosemary are from the turkey brine I prepared for T...

Here are the photos of the Cracker Jacks contest prize, fresh off the sewing machine. Take a close look at the sparkling deer and the initial, because your bags will have both of those. I love the fact that it drapes beautifully (being linen) ...

Surprise Inside

nobody@vox.com(Rosemoor) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:22:34 -0800

Over the years Cracker Jacks has had many different surprises in their packages. I used to love finding mine in the bottom of the box just as much as the munchkins do today. I also used to love gold nugget gum, because the bag was a prize in its...

Pockets

nobody@vox.com(Rosemoor) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:10:02 -0700
