Many of my cherished family memories come from time spent at our family cabin....
painting of the cabin done by my cousin, Dana LoveWe are going to the cabin tomorrow and I'm so excited! Chloe has never been there in the winter and I know she's going to love it!
I saw this idea to make pinecone bird feeders at Full Circle:
This paper pinwheel wreath! I think it is so cute and will add some whimsy and color to the indoors when the outdoors are so cold and dreary! Joann.com says this project requires no experience and will take only 1-2 hours to make. Perfect!
If my mom lets me take over kitchen duties for at least one meal, I'm going to make....
Chicken Soup With Rice. Mmmm don't you just feel warm and cozy looking at the picture? I've made this recipe once before and it was delish!You just can't eat Chicken Soup With Rice without singing Carole King's timeless classic....
Ya gotta love that. ;O)
And for dessert.....
Martha's coconut snowman. OH. MY. HECK. Isn't he cute???
I found this fun craft idea and book recommendation on No Time For Flash Cards....

And Congrats Yaya!
Oh have fun Tara!! Enjoy your family! Make a snow angel for us here in Las Vegas!I think I'm going to attempt the pinwheel also!
That sounds like so much fun! And your cousin's painting is absolutely beautiful! I've been meaning to make some pinecone bird feeders but it's been so warm lately that I've been putting it off. We are definitely going to be making that snowman snow globe! Thanks for sharing!
All such fun ideas! Have a great time, Tara!
The picture is great. It is going to be such fun at the cabin.We are staying home New Years Eve and going to my parents for a dinner New Years Day. Thank you for the links. I have an award for you on my blog.
I hope you have a great time! Our New Year's celebration will be a quiet night at my sisters house. Bringing in the new year surrounded by family is the best:)
I have to try that snowman snowglobe - too cute.
Have lots of fun making memories at the cabin,
Nat
I love the painting. Mike's getting his sinus's, sinuses,(i don't know.) done for New Years. It should be a draining day.
What a fun post! The painting of the cabin is fabulous! I would love to visit. My son got "The Mitten" for Christmas, and already loves "Chicken Soup with Rice". Maybe it has something to do with me being a librarian! :o)
We will be spending our new year's in Tucson- so sunshine all the time here!
p.s. I don't scrapbook with paper anymore, but I love making cards!
Thank you SO much!!!!! I'll do that tonight and let you know what I pick!
Love that pinwheel wreath-I'm gonna have to try that!
We were invited to a New Year's Party, but honestly, after the Christmas hussle and bussle I'm just wanting to be home for a quiet evening this year, so that's probably what we'll do!
Tara,
Just sent you an email, but thought I would post it here too.
I chose to donate the money to the National Adoption Center because they help many children with special needs find adoptive homes. So I thought this would be something near-and-dear to both our hearts!
Thank you!
Alicia
