are you my mother?

Love, love the new Domino book of decorating. I have been in love with their magazine for a year now, so I had to get the book. How much do I love it? Well, I've been on the same page for an hour. Just day dreaming.....thinking....wow......now what piece of furniture can I move around now! I love anything that inspires me.....especially decorating magazines and books.

The Meanest Doll in the World is for me too----doll books always catch my eye. Jake is sporting Pete and Pickles. It's getting so cold out, nothing like reading by the fire.

We made Farm Doll's (aka ) Farm Chick's Ranch Hand Soup again....it's always a hit and even better in the Fall. Here is the recipe in case you missed it. Thanks Tania!

We've been watching Toy Story I and II non-stop for a month now. So I was feeling like making "Cowboy Cookies". Thanks for the recipe Cindy, my husband also thanks you because they do not have a drop of coconut.
