Show and Tell Friday!

Pin It Now!


Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  This week has been busy and I'm not even working! The good news is that I had a 3rd and final job interview yesterday!  Now I'm just waiting to hear if I got it.  They said they will be making a decision in the next 2 weeks! Fingers crossed!

This week since I don't have anything new to share I decided to do a year in review type of post.  The yummy muffins above are actually a low cal recipe using cake mix and canned pumpkin.  You can find the recipe here: Pumpkin Muffins


I also ordered business cards for my blog this year!  Here is the link to those:  Business Cards


It was a good year for the flowers growing in my little garden! I can hardly wait for Spring now!


I rode my bike across the Golden Gate Bridge a couple times this year!  I've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area my whole life and this is the first time I've ever done this!  I have to thank my boyfriend, Dan, that I met last April for this fun experience! This has been a hard year for me, losing my mom and my job but one of the good things about this year has been meeting him!  

Okay, I planned to share more from 2011 but I'm now running late, I'm off to go visit my son today so I have to run....

I wish I lived somewhere I could ride a bike regularly. As soon as our acreage sales and we move, then get settled... I'm buying a bike. My eldest daughter lives in SF and rides everywhere. It is a beautiful area.

Keeping you in prayer for a job :)

Hi Cindy!

Hope your Christmas was fab.u.lous and that your New Year's will be even better!

I linked up a passel of my fave posts from 2011, including an Anthro Headband knock-off, some super yummy Apple Butter frosting cupcakes, a DIY Tufted ottoman, and the simple fix my brilliant programmer hubby came up with to keep the GFC follower's box from disappearing like it has a tendency to do!

Thanks for hosting!

P.S. I'm your newest follower and would love for you to stop by for a visit!
