Let's get together!

Back when I first started this blog a zillion (or more like three) years ago, I mentioned how I used to attend a crochet class.  It was long before I joined MOPS and it was when Alyssa was around a year and a half.  I loved going to our meetings every Wednesday afternoon and I went faithfully for almost two years until I had Audrey and couldn't go back anymore.

What I loved most about my time with my crochet friends was the fellow shipping. The talking and sharing of stories while we worked on our own little projects.  What made it most special was that all the ladies in the group were all older and they took me in just like a granddaughter!

When I was pregnant with Audrey, they threw me a sweet "potluck" type shower.  I had the best time and felt so blessed by all the ladies coming together to do something special just for me!  It was at my shower and other fun holiday get togethers we would have that initially got me into the world of pock lucking as adult.  I loved trying all the different dishes friends would bring and loved it even more when they'd share their recipes with me!

Which brings me to what I really wanted to share to today!  Recipes...and get togethers!  It's December 1st and Christmas is just 24 days away! Can you believe it?

I made these fun countdown blocks at a girls craft night this week!  Super fun!

It's that time of year for get togethers and holiday parties and all that good stuff! I was so excited when I got an offer through MyBlogSpark to host a fun Potluck Party courtesy of Pillsbury here in my home!  Our little get together is actually tomorrow already and believe it or not (well if you know me well that it won't be a suprise, really) I still haven't decided what I'll be making for the party!

What will be fun about the party is that each guest will be bringing a dish they made from a recipe they chose to make from the Pillsbury.com website.  We will each sample each others dishes and vote on which we like best!

I'm really looking forward to the hanging out with friends, while at the same time getting to try out and get ideas for some new recipes I can add to my collection!

I'm planning on making two dishes and would love to get some help deciding on what to make.  I'm really loving this one for something sweet...

Caramel Apple-Marshmallow Tarts

but I could still use some help deciding on a savory recipe to try out.  If you'd like to help me...I'd love it if you'd go HERE to Pillsbury's site and suggest a recipe you think would be great for me to make. While you're there, you can also get some great ideas for possible holiday party dishes you can make this Holiday season!
