Besides my love of baking, I love painting and crafting. That includes watercolor painting and making all manner of decorations for the holidays.

I hope to update it regularly with new artwork and crafts to see what you think. 

As you can tell from my other blog posts, I love baking. So holiday baking is one of my favorite activities. I get to really experiment and bust out new recipes too. Finding great recipes is tricky. There are so many blogs out there, it can be overwhelming. So this post is really designed to help you take the work out of it, because I’ve tried all these recipes with success.
