• I have the best boss - He's handsome, charming, loving, and understanding. He is firm without being overbearing. He will adjust my workload based on my performance and extenuating circumstances in my life. When I fall behind in my tasks sometimes he even offers to help!
  

• The hours are flexible - I make my own schedule (usually...unless the boss needs something at a specific time), I work at my own pace, and can take vacation days whenever I want.
  

• The work has a lot of variety - While it is true...

WIVES OF FAITH 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BLOG CARNIVAL....DAY 2.

My favorite recipes for Christmas have got to be almond spritz cookies and buckeyes (also known as "peanut butter bonbons.") As those are very popular Christmas foods and the recipes are readily available, I've chosen to post two lesser-known recipes that I really like.

SOFT SUGAR COOKIES (I got this one off of cooks.com and it turned out WONDERFUL!!)

1 cup sugar

1 cup butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

I found this pattern for a handbag in a random book I picked up at the library this afternoon. It was very simple and I was able to finish it in about four hours! I was so excited! Closeups can be found in this facebook album.

I've taken a ton of photos of the decorating I've done of the new house, but it seems like putting a lot of photos in once post really bogs down the time it takes to load the page. So, I've opted instead to load all of the photos into one album on facebook, and post the link here. You do NOT have to have a Facebook account to view these photos. The album also contains all the photos of the house when it was still empty as well as photos from the first bout of decorating I did.

Enjoy! :)

I'm loving it really. The cold weather is giving me what I have d...
