Vicki O'Dell… The Creative Goddess

  December is always a month of very deep thinking for me.  I think a lot about birth, life, death, beginnings and endings.  Maybe it’s the cold and snow of North East Ohio that causes me to think more deeply about things…though I have been accused of thinking too much other times of the year [...]

    Oh! I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love these cookies! So easy to make and so incredibly yummy to eat!  They taste just like a Girl Scout Thin Mint.  Shhh! Don’t tell the Girls ok?     If you are frustrated you might like this part… put some small [...]

I LOVE it when I find a fabulously cheap and easy way to decorate some small corner of my home.  I found these Christmas ornaments that cost only a couple of dollars each.  They are silver, white and Oh, so SPARKLY! I loved them the moment I saw them but wasn’t sure what I’d do [...]

I kind of got into a tissue paper and Mod Podge mode for a couple of days back in early November.  You’ll see another post on this I’m sure. I decorated two different glass items in this post.  First a candle holder that has three votive cups inside a cylinder and then a small votive [...]
