The Chapman Museum

We have been working with The Chapman Historical Museum to develop their new website. The wealth of information and programs they offer to the community is incredible. 

Check out their website and stop by the museum to see their current exhibit "Stoddard's Natural Views." 

The exhibit features photographs taken by Seneca Ray Stoddard of different Adirondack settings 's. 

Cocoa and Cream Cupcakes

Inspired by some ribbons hanging in my office and feathers I just bought, we put together a birthday gift for my niece. 

Vanilla cupcakes, butter-cream frosting, and a dusting of cocoa!

Happy Birthday Tirzah!

Red, White and Blue Birthday!

This birthday was designed with an excited four-year-old boy in mind.  From stars to stripes and even polka dots, we had a satisfied little man by the end of the day. 

This cake was decorated with edible, blue grass and marshmallows. Yes, I said edible!

 Red and White Stripey straws made the Hawaiian punch that much yummier.

We made paper garlands to add a little extra fun!

An enjoyable time had...by all!

Corinth Hometown Christmas

Thanks to the Village of Corinth and local merchants we enjoyed a festive Hometown Christmas Celebration. Children laughing and racing for holiday treats, was the site to be seen as the parade pranced down main street. Fire truck sirens, horse drawn carriages and Mr. and Mrs. Claus greeted each child with wonder for the holiday season. With Christmas carols ringing in the crisp winter air and fireworks lighting up the skies, it was sure to many that the Christmas season has begun. A parade, fireworks, and tasting from Corinth Wine and Liquor were a few of the many events of the day. Below are a few of the sites we saw. 

 Corinth's very own Ledge Rock Hill Winery wines with owner Gary Akrop. 

My absolute favorite is the Cabernet Sauvignon.

A quiet end to the evening by our Christmas tree with a bottle of Cabernet and 

Cabin Fever Maple Whiskey. 

Red and White and Sparkles All Over!

I have been so excited to decorate for the new Christmas season. My inspiration this year came from a set of gorgeous red birds and silver reindeer I bought last Christmas season. Anything I have found that sparkles or is red and white, continues to build upon the few surfaces my little 3 year old son can't reach!

Paper and Crystal garland I made to hang in the kitchen and living room.
