Happy New Year everyone! I'd like to take a moment to thank all of you who continually visit here and make this site possible. Your presence and interaction are vital to going forward and I appreciate all the sharing of recipes you do with family and friends.
Many of you have been here since the beginning (almost 3 years ago). Together we have built quite a food community that continues to grow, flourish and only get better in 2015.
Followers are well over 100,000 on Goggle, Goggle plus, Twitter, Facebook, Craftsy, email and Pinterest. I will compile the numbers on our third anniversary.
It's always fun to look back over the years and see which recipes have been popular.

How to make a Tuffet!
A couple of years ago I took a "Tuffet" class with my friend Fawn, from Myra at Northwest Quiltworks in Bellevue,Wa. We had so much fun and started making the cutest little footstools/child's tuffet. I thought, what a perfect gift for a child! They just love to sit and have their Mom, Dad, Grandpa or Grandma read them a story. Story time was big in my children's lives, they still remember that special time. And now, I am making these tuffet's for my Grandchildren, on their first Birthday, so that they can have their own special seat for story time. Wee Bear buys three story books to complete our traditional 1st Birthday gift to our grandchildren. This blog has gotten so much action and the emails to me are in the hundreds!!

This cute little carriage has been a number one post for two years!! If you are hosting a baby shower sometime in the future, you may be thinking about cute centerpiece ideas for the main table of your party or for the food buffet. From flowers, balloons, apothecary candy to diaper cakes, there are so many options for celebrating the upcoming birth of a tiny baby.
Happy New year!!
