More Christmas ♥ Love

I always have so many things I like to share with you
at this lovely time of year.

 First of all, I feel so so blessed GOD took my doctors by the hands
and guided them in doing the things that would make me feel so much better....
now, I can enjoy another CHRISTMAS SEASON with my family and friends.



I am getting ready to bake 
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHERRY MUFFINS,
a recipe from my awesome cooking friend, PATTI.

I love using my gorgeous muffin pan (and cute muffin papers)
that another friend named PATTI sent me several years ago.
Of course, when I use it, I think of her and her generous heart
all the time I am baking.
♥

If you like chocolate and cherries together, as in Black Forest cake,
you will luv these...


GREAT BALLS OF FIRE...these are sooooooo good.
and be sure to tell her HEY from me.



THIS is my very favorite Christmas Berry Wreath...

Some of you might remember a post I did on it...click the blue if you'd like to read about this silly little wreath that I just love.


 I found this berry wreath at Goodwill 😍
and it was in pretty pitiful shape...
Pitiful Pearl....

 Smashed...
dusty...
berry scars..
but, oh, I could see she would be so pretty once I gave her a BEAUTY TREATMENT...


 ...and only a few pennies over $2.00
I was such a happy Christmas Camper.



I printed the sign off the net several years ago
and I use it every single Christmas.

 My beautiful girl brought this adorable huge C
 (for CONKLIN or CHRISTMAS)
to me last week.
I love the BUFFALO CHECK
and
INDUSTRIAL  METAL
together....
THANK YOU AGAIN, STACY LEIGH.
I LOVE IT and I LOVE YOU A KILLZILLION TIMES MORE.

Merriest Christmas...
LOVE, bj

    So everything's had a wonderful make over … you (so glad you are feeling better) your blog header and the berry wreath. Gotta love a touch of red nail polish, it does wonders to add some Christmas cheer in more ways than one! Glad you are feeling better and so are your family as your C also stands for chocolate cherry cakes!
    Have a great weekend.

    Well the muffins look SO good as do all of your pretty decorations! Like that wreath, it's amazing what a little fluffing and painting can do for all of us lol! Can't believe it's the same wreath . . . good eye to see past its sad state to what it could become!

    Daisy isn't done with the tree yet, which is interesting considering she loves doing it.

    I hate putting up or taking down the tree. I despise it. I wish I could just hide it with a blanket for the majority of the year.

    Hi bj ... you have inspired me to do some baking ... but first, a little Christmas decorations. Not doing much this year, but trying to make it a happy first Christmas without Mr. Z. Love that you gave that little red berry wreath a make-over. Looks great.
    Hugs,
    Audrey Z.

    We've been away for a few days (again!). I really enjoyed your Christmas decor - and those cupcakes. Oh, my! I could almost smell them baking and for sure, I wanted to be your taste tester. You have such a sweet touch with your decor and I love what you do for the holidays. I am SO glad you are feeling better. Have a wonderful Christmas, dear friend.
