Stove Top Potpourri

Do you simmer your apple and citrus peels in a small pot of apple juice, cloves and cinnamon too?

I wish you all had smell-o-vision.

This smells divine. It's one of my favorite things to do this time of year, even after the Christmas decorations are all put away.

Once it starts bubbling I turn it to low and let it waft heavenly scents through our house for most of the day.

I find myself peeling an apple just so I can make some stove top potpourri.

Watching that movie is also one of my favorite things to do this time of year. :) It's a good movie to watch while you wrap gifts...

and drink some warm, spicy wassail.



Hmmmm...

Oh, and we have a new winner for the Belleza Mia Lucky Horseshoe Necklace. Last week's winner never contacted me back. So...

The new winner is:

i love it! does this make anybody else think of never been kissed? "it's all about horseshoes!"

Congrats! I emailed you last night. Please check your inbox and get back to me ASAP.

And I guess I need to re-watch that movie too. I don't remember all the horseshoe references.


Since Christmas is only 3 days away...holy moley...did that creep up on you too? I will be slowing things down around here.

Have a splendid Christmas and holiday season!

Every single time I peel an apple I think of that quote!
