Cheesy Potatoes and Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

Welcome dear friends.  I hope you had a fantastic Christmas holiday. Mine was fabulous. The weather was cold and that made it feel like the holidays, but now I am ready for it to warm up. lol!

I made these cheesy potatoes for Christmas and wanted to share them with you. They were a new take on an old classic recipe.

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

Make classic scalloped potatoes extra creamy with cheese. We love scalloped potatoes, but this time I decided to make it a little different. Nothing like bringing together melty PHILLY Cheese, grated Parmesan and thinly-sliced red potatoes in this creamy, cheesy dish the whole family is sure to love.

I was lucky to get one picture of these potatoes before they dived in.

Cheer for Eggnog Biscotti

Cheer for Eggnog Biscotti

Well, I wasn't going to make cookies this year, but then a friend stopped by and brought me a bottle of eggnog. 
Eggnog Biscotti. Share NOW. #eggnog, #cookie, #biscotti, #eclecticredbarn


So, when given eggnog, make biscotti. The recipe calls for both eggnog and rum, but this already had it in there, actually bourbon. The recipe makes a lot so I will give them to my neighbors - adults only. I will make something for the kids. You could always make these with just eggnog and no liquor.

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

Welcome dear friends. Here we are only a few more days to Christmas. My daughter took me out to lunch today and then we looked in the stores of our small town. It was a lovely day. Since I have been done for a few weeks, we just enjoyed looking. 

The weather was nice but it looks like we will be having a cold Christmas here in Florida although most of the country will be cold as well. I keep telling people, I might be making snow angels after all. lol! Try and stay warm!

Have a very blessed Christmas!

On to the party!

Pallet Wreaths and You're The Star

Pallet Wreaths and You're The Star

Happy Monday! Christmas is coming very soon. I always get so excited. I have everything done and I have been enjoying the time. We have gone out to dinner and walked around to see the lights. It is very festive here, even though it is Florida and no snow. 

Our small town decorates like you wouldn't believe and the shops stay open on the weekends and there always seems to be some activity going on. 

I hope you are enjoying getting ready for Christmas.

Decorated Blocks and Thursday Favorite Things

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Thursday Favorite Things. Share NOW. #linkyparty. #TFT #thursdaayfavoritethings #eclecticredbarn

Happy Thursday. This month is flying by and Christmas will be here before we know it. I did my cards and mailed my packages yesterday. Then I wrapped my presents and put them under the tree. 

I am so excited to be done. I am still deciding on whether or not to make cookies. I like to bake but I don't like all of those sweets being around. How to you feel about all of those desserts? Do you bake?

If you stopped by my DIY Sled Tray, you saw these decorated vintage blocks with trees. I created a post so you can make you own set. I hope you check it out.

Blocks and Trees on Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

Welcome to the party. I am so glad you stopped by. I finally finished decorating for Christmas and mailed my packages today. Tonight I am doing my cards. Hubby is out of town on business so I am getting so much done. 

Still deciding on what cookies and desserts I am going to make. I haven't been eating much dessert lately so not sure I want lots of desserts around. 

How is your decorating and shopping going? Do you bake?

Last week I share my Winter Wonderland Sled Tray with you and on that sled I had made these mold, block trees. I wanted to share with you how to make your own.



On to the party!

Molds, Blocks and Trees

Molds, Blocks and Trees

As part of my Winter Wonderful Tray, I added these trees to my sled. They were quite easy to create since I had all of the materials on hand.

Molds, Blocks and Trees. Share NOW. #christmas, #molds, #Christmasdecor, #blocks, #trees, #eclecticredbarn

What you will need to make these Christmas Tree Blocks:

vintage molds or any metal tins 
vintage blocks or wooden blocks 
Christmas trees from Dollar Tree
paint
modge podge 
glitter

This is what I wanted to create:
Molds, Blocks and Trees. Share NOW. #christmas, #molds, #Christmasdecor, #blocks, #trees, #eclecticredbarn


1. Paint your molds or metal tins. If you don't have any vintage molds, you can find metal tins at Hobby Lobby. I sanded them lightly for the paint to adhere. 

Molds, Blocks and Trees. Share NOW. #christmas, #molds, #Christmasdecor, #blocks, #trees, #eclecticredbarn


Then I sprayed them with some chalk paint I had. 

2. I was lucky to find three letters that I could use, J and O. The Y was on one but it was not raised so I just painted over it. 

Molds, Blocks and Trees. Share NOW. #christmas, #molds, #Christmasdecor, #blocks, #trees, #eclecticredbarn

You could always find some wooded blocks or make your own. You could also use round pieces of wood. You can fins those at Hobby Lobby or cut up some tree branches. lol!

3. Once the molds and the blocks were ready, I glued them all together and let them dry. 

Then I got out my Modge Podge and using a paint brush that is about 3/4 inch wide, brushed it on the mold and the block. I also brush some strokes up the tress. 

Then sprinkled everything with glitter and let it dry. 

Molds, Blocks and Trees. Share NOW. #christmas, #molds, #Christmasdecor, #blocks, #trees, #eclecticredbarn


It is a nice reminder for me since these blocks belonged to my son. I remember him playing with them.

Christmas is Coming and You're The Star

Christmas is Coming and You're The Star 

Happy Monday! Can you believe that 2 weeks from today is Christmas. I don't know why but is seems like Christmas was far away and then all of a sudden, it will be here soon. Are you ready? I finished decorating the tree yesterday and that was my last thing to do. The house is done.

I am still thinking about the baking part. Not sure how much I am doing this year. I always make lots of cookies to share, but think I will cut that number down. I had too many left over last year. 

What are your baking plans?
