Talking About it Tuesday #48

Welcome back for another Talking About it Tuesday! I am pretty exciting to be picking up Alec later today and we hope to start making our bread/rolls tomorrow but I'm looking forward to a nice long lazy weekend at home. Do you have any exciting plans?

We had another fabulous link up last week. I swear that each week it gets harder and harder to pick just a few to feature. 




The link with the most views from last week's party:



A few that caught my eye:

Central Park Maternity Pictures by Lyssy in the City


Sunroom Transition from Fall to Winter by Penny's Vintage Home


Pull-Apart Festive Christmas Dinner Rolls Wreath Recipe by Ann's Entitled Life


This party will remain open until the weekend.  My hope is that everyone will share all sorts of wonderful posts: travel, recipes, how to's, crafting ideas, and more-- up to 3 posts per blog.  Anything that is family friendly is welcome; even old posts that you'd like to get some new views.


You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

    We are picking up Michael from the airport today: it's his first time flying on his own but it is only a 1 hour flight! He had to take his midterms so couldn't drive down to the beach with us. We've been enjoying the beautiful weather down here and taking bike rides. I've been pretty impatient and cranky and going to work on that today!

      Yeah, Alec won't be ready until at least 6 pm tonight since his last class gets out kind of late (at least he didn't have a baking class-- they get out around 7 or 8 I think!). HOpe Michael's trip goes well!

    It will be so nice to see Alec (and have his help in the kitchen, lol). I keep remembering items that I need to buy so I am sure I´ll be going out to the store to buy things. We have several family and friends´ birthdays this week as well as Thanksgiving and a bit of travel so it is an extra busy one- all good things but things that keep us busy!

      I did make a quick trip to the store this morning to get some fresh fruit and reading your comment made me realize I forgot to mail out my brother in law's birthday card!

      I thought that had some really cute ideas. I've never worked in an office that had secret Santa but I always thought that sounded like a lot of fun.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
