I have been cleaning, organizing and throwing out a bunch of stuff all last week. It feels so good. I cleaned out my office/craft room and a big closet, cupboards and drawers. Then I started in the kitchen and now I need to keep going and get my kitchen all done. That is my next goal. I love it when I get the cleaning bug and can get a lot done because I really don’t get it very often, so I had better go for it while I can! When you clean everything out, you can see what you have (or rather how much you have!) and so when I organized all of my washi tape I decided that I needed to do a project with some of it!

So here is fun little idea using your washi tape that would be perfect for a little tea party, a shower, a birthday, or even for weddings!

It has been a long time since I have posted a recipe, especially a dessert recipe.

As I said yesterday, my husband had been gone and so I did not do any cooking! It was great for the diet! I lived on canned soup and scrambled eggs. I can honestly diet quite well, when I don’t have to cook for anyone else! :)

But he came back and so I decided to celebrate a bit with a dessert in the middle of the week!

I made these delicious Cherry Cheesecake Cups!

Home for the Holidays

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mrs. Smith’s for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

What are some of your favorite holiday traditions? One of my fondest memories when I was younger was making pies with my mom. We would make dozens of pies and freeze them for the holidays. Then when we needed a dessert we knew that we always had one that was ready to go! Well, times have changed and I don’t make dozens of pies anymore, but I do always try to have one or two in the freezer, so that when I need a dessert I will have one that is ready to go!
