Happy Monday.

This was a wonderful and eventful weekend for me!  I got more Christmas shopping done, hooray!
We FINALLY went to the Christmas tree farm and picked our tree!
And with our little helper, we decorated!
Last, but certainly not least, the Star!
Going through boxes of Gift Wrap, ribbons and bows, my hubster found my long lost Designer's Guild Cards!  Perfect timing, because I have a thank you card to send!


Arrive at work today and I am gifted these yummies, from friend and Coworker, Amanda.

Oreo Balls....a bite out of heaven!

How to make Oreo Balls:
She uses a Magic Bullet.
Put the oreos in the bullet.  There is no real math here, just put the entire oreo in, put as many as you can fit.  (I am sure you could use a food processor or Blender too.)
Once your cookies are all crushed up, transfer them to a mixing bowl.  For every pack of cookies, and a block of cream cheese.  She cuts the cream cheese into small squares so it mixes easier!
Once your oreos are of a consistency similar to cake, it is time to get messy!  Make sure to grease up your hands, or wear gloves, or BOTH.
Rolls those bad boys into a nice size ball.  (About 2 or 3 inches in diameter.)
Put them in the freezer to harden and cool.
In a pan melt down chocolate chips.  This is her trick, do not use bakers chips, use real chocolate chips here!
Roll them into the melted chips and cool on wax paper.
Once the chocolate has hardened you have a delicious treat. 
Serve cold! YUMTASTIC!

Also, this week, I ordered my Jonathon Adler pen, I LOVE IT.  It is super cute, but mostly I love the way that it writes!  I got mine from Amazon!

Niche

Do you have one of those homes where the builder decides to put niches in?  Or perhaps you wanted the niches.  Sometimes you have a beautiful peice to display so a niche is perfect, but other times you do not and you are constantly on the hunt on finding the perfect item for your niche.  Usually has to be skinny and tall and beautiful enough to be displayed on its own.  Here are some common displays of that.

I do not know about you, but these niches just are not doing it for me.  Are these peices really worth of their own spotlight?  Then you have the painted niche.

And the niche in a staircase.

To me, these are the worst, honestly...what are you supposed to do with this?
Well my best friend Lindsey has one of these, poor thing.  Lucky for her, hers is in her living room and makes for the perfect spot to put her TV.  Hmmmmm, who wants a TV that looks like it is stuck in a hole.  This "hole"  needed some sprucing up and Lindsey did that and then some.  Need not feel sorry for her any longer, feel JEALOUS!



With some wallpaper, will-power, adhesive and major measuring, Lindsey has made her niche LALALALALOVELY!!!
