Enjoyed the holidays with family, including New Year’s Eve at sister Bee’s. It was a little smaller than in the past since her husband is having knee surgery on Monday. Also celebrated the Special Teacher’s newly minted Master’s degree with Zoom call to her dad, my brother. While they all were here we had a scavenger hunt and everybody made fun pillowcases. Lots of talking! They all left on New Year’s Day. And the next day I developed strep throat — no, didn’t catch the bug from the guests. I’ve slept for three days straight. Took my third dose of Zithromax this morning. And looked out the window to the first big snowstorm of the season. Brutally cold. Back to bed as soon as I hit publish on this! May you stay warm and safe – and HEALTHY – this coming week! Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome projects, recipes and ideas!

Thank you for sharing my New Year’s Spice Cake recipe! Take care during all this wintry “mess” ~ it’s even 24 degrees this morning in Dallas! Thanks for a great year of linky parties and look forward to starting off each week with you again in 2025.
