So much to share as we enter 2008

This past year has been a whirl wind. I have had so many
things to blog about and yet no time to write here.
So some of this will be old news for some but I still
feel like I have so much catching up to do and so much
I want to share.

Griff and I had a wonderful trip to California and when we
returned we purchased our very first home.
It is a wonderful little cottage and we are enjoying making
it our haven. We just love it. I treasure my visits to my
friend Liz's shop @home even more now.

The week we moved in I was invited to be a guest on
Paula Deen's cooking show Paula's Home Cooking.
It was such an amazing experience and I am actually
still pinching myself. I am so thankful for the opportunity
to hang out with Paula because she is such an inspiration
for me. She made me feel right at home and took the
time to share so many real life experiences that I will
always have with me.


We bonded over so many things while we cooked in
her beautiful kitchen and she reminded me that I
have a very special gift that I share with others on
a daily basis. She encouraged me to never change
my style of baking home spun desserts and it was so
nice to hear especially from her.

The show is airing in the spring and I will definitely
write more about what happens behind the scenes
leading up to the big day.
