S P A R K L E & L U X E
these past few weeks have been filled with fun activities: working, baking, decorating, and shopping (for gifts, of course)...and a little bit of indulgence. 'tis the season right?
this time of the year always brings very optimistic thoughts for what may happen in the new year to come. if 2011 is any indication of what 2012 may be like, i am in for one hell of a year.
here's hoping! happy holidays!!

Make It With Sequins, Trims, and Glitter - 1965 Oldies but Goodies!
"Almost every department, dime, and hobby store carries supplies of sequins, shells, rickrack, gold braid, and other trimmings; as well as glue, and glitter of all colors. Combine these items with Christmas ornaments and beads, tinsel, metallic string, foil, and other seasonal package or tree decorations, and you can make many clever gifts, party centerpieces, and gay decorations for your home this coming holiday."
Since I was around in 1965 these bring back memories for me, but if you are a youngster these crafts might be new, or at least new for your kids. Have fun!

The zucchini bread that nearly ruined my life!
Remember when I was freaking out a month or so ago about dropping my phone in eggs... and oil... and sugar... haha yes. Well this is that darned zucchini bread that nearly ruined my life. And I'm serious. Had my phone not survived... it would have been DEVASTATING! It seems to be fulling functioning though so we're good.
Alright my friends. BEST ZUCCHINI BREAD EVVVEERRR. I don't have tons of pictures because my phone was out of commission after about the third one!

Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3 tsps ground cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 1/4 cups white sugar
3 tsps vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini
Directions:
1. Grease and flour two 8x4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
2. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda and cinnamon together in a bowl
3. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar together in a large bowl
4. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat well
5. Stir in grated zucchini until well combined
6. Add chocolate chips. I ALWAYS add chocolate chips. Because I love them. It's totally optional though! Then pour batter into prepared pans
7. Bake for 40-60 minutes or until tester inserted comes out clean. Cool in pan until completely cool
The one picture I forgot was probably the most important... haha we ate it too fast! I'm serious. It's so delicious. MMMMM right out of the oven... with butter on it?
Fashion To The Rescue - 1958 Good Housekeeping
"At the very last minute, you discover, to your horror, that an important gift is still unbought or that you have nothing to wear for the Big Day."
This top only works if you have that chaise to lean on...but if you are OK in the lavish furniture department then by all means make this "flattering little party top"!
