I've tried to make my own pie crusts before, but invariably, I handled the dough too much and it just didn't turn out that great. Will DEFINITELY be giving this a try! If kids can do it, surely I should be able to manage as well!! (You'd <I>think</I> anyway!)<BR/><BR/>I can't believe you have a cabinet for napkins!

I've subscribed to your blog recently and look forward to your posts. I've had an "aha.." moment and realized that for years that I have made entertaining hard and did it out of responsibility (formerly being in ministry). My goal this year is to really connect with new and treasured relationships through opening my home more often and enjoy every moment.<BR/>Thanks,<BR/>HopeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03942939279747558624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-10039355495532311522008-01-11T10:46:00.000-08:002008-01-11T10:46:00.000-08:00Hi Ladies - I added to my post that the cabinet wa...Hi Ladies - I added to my post that the cabinet was sold to me as a liquor cabinet, but I turned it into a fun napkin/entertaining hutch. It orignally came from Target - but I bought it from a friend because it was low-profile and fit in my dining room (and matched my other furniture).

Smart momma.<BR/><BR/>Okay, last night we were coming home from the city and had Focus on the Family on in the background and now I'm kicking myself that I didn't pay closer attention. We were so busy chatting that I nearly missed the names of the guests but I was sure it was you. Was it? I'm going to look online to see if I can rehear the broadcast.Lovella ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870567090244361779noreply@blogger.com
