Perfect timing - thank you. But could I ask you where did you find your snowman measuring spoons? <br /><br />I am up in Canada but I can tell you we are just as affected by the tragedy. As a mother of three I am struggling to even look at those little faces and then into my little ones. i have heard about a movement they are trying to start called 26 acts of kindness - one for each person that was killed. Lovely idea - I started yesterday and in some small way I hope it helps. <br /><br />Merry Christmas,<br />Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649598998064028818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-73214468962413882782012-12-21T11:49:28.774-05:002012-12-21T11:49:28.774-05:00Hello,

I was wondering though where did you get your snowman measuring spoons? I love them - and my sister would as well...<br /><br />I am up in Canada and we are distressed by what happened in CT as well. As a mother of 3 I find it so hard to look at the faces in the news...they are no different than the little faces in our schools. I heard about a movement called 26 random acts of kindness - one for each person who was killed. I started yesterday. In some small way it helps me to cope. <br /><br />Best wishes - merry Christmas. <br />Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649598998064028818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-14749682878702894332012-12-21T11:46:29.136-05:002012-12-21T11:46:29.136-05:00Hello, I just came accross your website searching ...Hello, I just came accross your website searching for coconut tarts!

Seeing the interfaith service, hearing the names and stories just made it so real and so emotional. I simply cannot imagine the grief so many families are going through right now. All we can do is keep them in our prayers and pray for their strength and for God to guide them through this dark path.<br /><br />On a lighter note, these sound decadent and delicious! I think I may have to try them, my husband loves coconut!! Thanks...hope all else is great!The enchanted homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417949320717832732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-65215928814520175412012-12-17T06:25:27.085-05:002012-12-17T06:25:27.085-05:00Hi there Elizabeth...hey the husband and I made sa...Hi there Elizabeth...hey the husband and I made salted bark with peppermint and white chocolate, I found a recipe and it isn’t half bad. We went into the forest this weekend and dug up a couple of tabletop trees and decorated those. The house is finally decorated and now the baking begins as people will be descending upon us come Saturday. Luckily we get to spend the holidays in our home entertaining. <br /><br />XXX<br />Debra~<br />Acquired Objectshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065566296202199461noreply@blogger.com
