I have one of those French horns. If I get time I&#39;m going to dig it out and put it on a wreath. Your daughter&#39;s mantel looks gorgeous. I love the way it goes around to the wall on the sides (more display space!). I want some of those message cookie cutters.

I am not sure I have many teeth left that have not had a canal. I am sure I sent my root canal dentist to the grand canals in Venice on what the canals cost me:) I hope you are feeling better soon.<br />JoyceJoycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14023307609205834495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318334172681612322.post-69452725128819077502009-12-08T20:32:28.725-08:002009-12-08T20:32:28.725-08:00My daughter has the acorn pan and we share it or I should say I borrow it all the time. We made chocolate cake acorns and just sprinkled powder sugar on the top. They looks cute and some looked a little ugly:) We ate the ugly ones because it is a sin to waste chocolate foods:) Everyone loves when we bring the regular corn muffins in a pretty basket with some honey butter. I made spiced nuts today and they look ugly but taste good. Maybe I need to eat those too:) Now those little name stampers are the cutest and yes Mr. Vundervants would like them.<br />JoyceJoycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14023307609205834495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318334172681612322.post-4269087303090722502009-12-08T13:46:31.464-08:002009-12-08T13:46:31.464-08:00First - I hope your root canal pain is gone!

Glad the birthday boy enjoyed it all. You are such the chef and baker, girl. I would be as big as a house eating all that you make. But boy would I be happy doing it. tee hee<br />I am feeling so much better these last few days. knock on wood that it stays this way...<br />I&#39;ve gotten a lot of decorating done. I have decided that I probably won&#39;t set up the last tree in the study. I have too much other stuff to do. We will get by with the six that are up right now. They aren&#39;t all large, so it wasn&#39;t horrible getting them all done.Just time consuming. <br />Your son&#39;s fireplace mantel is so cool. I like how it is three-sided around the chimney. <br />Your blog always makes me hungry... <br />hugs from SueSuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12843513751203663201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318334172681612322.post-66455106424026065282009-12-07T19:02:09.274-08:002009-12-07T19:02:09.274-08:00I wouldn&#39;t have been able to resist that acorn pan at all!Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01184370219253409713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318334172681612322.post-36365327605836372162009-12-07T18:34:36.852-08:002009-12-07T18:34:36.852-08:00Lovey Dovey the Clown, LOL!
