When you walk through the door at my house you are greeted by<br />
my favorite Nativity.<br />
<br />
I love this set because they have no faces and the clean lines.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>This is what Christmas is about!</u></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is my dinning room.</span><br />
<br />
Here I just turned some ornaments upside down and stuck them in candle sticks.<br />
I love the way it looks.</div><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">My camera is having issues!!!</span></strong> </span><br />
<br />
I charge the battery and it will only take a couple pictures and die. <br />
<br />
The pictures are kind of fuzzy. <span style="font-size: large;">Sorry!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I wanted a christmas tree in my kitchen.<br />
<br />
Being my usual self I didn't want to spend any money.<br />
<br />
I did buy a 3 foot tree for $12 the rest of the stuff I had at home.<br />
<br />
This is what I came up with.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I made all of the ornaments except the white snowflakes. Dollar store.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was going to show you the ornaments up close but my camera is being ugly!<br />
<br />
You know you can click on the picture and make it bigger to see it better.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Most of them are floating around blog land somewhere.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Clear glass ball stuffed with tinsel</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Cut circles, fold in half, glue them together, glitter edges</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Painted glass squares white and then polka dotted them</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Tie red eyelash yarn to black balls.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You didn't think I would not use eyelash yarn somewhere did ya?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had some twirly white glittery twigs hanging around from a couple years ago </div><div style="text-align: center;">and I broke them off and stuck them in here and there.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It looks cuter in person.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have a question just let me know and I will answer!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I will post more...I might have to get creative with my flip camera.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have made videos with it and I need to experiment more...this may be a good time as any.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="center">Actually, both Grammies went. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I have been good friends with Alicia's mom way before our kids decided to marry each other.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">It was sooo cute to watch Abbie look at both of her Grammies and then just</div><div align="center">grin from ear to ear...</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Rates a number 10 one the heart melting scale!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Since I have been playing with Abbie I decided to share a recipe today.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">My husband brought this recipe home from work so I gave it a try and YUMMY!<br />
<br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">CHICKEN TORTILLA CHOWDER</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">2 cans condensed cream of potatoe soup</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black;">(both soups undiluted)</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">2 cups milk</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">1 can chicken broth</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">1 can drained Mexican corn</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">1 can chopped green chilies</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">1 pkg ready to serve roasted chicken breast strips chopped</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">3 flour tortillas cut into 2 inch x 1/2 strips</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">1 cup shredded cheddar cheese</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Additional cheese for topping.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">In a large saucepan, heat the soups, milk and broth. Stirring frequently. </span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Add corn, chicken and chilies.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Bring to a boil.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Stir in tortilla strips.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Stir in cheese until melted.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Sprinkle each serving with additional cheese if desired.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">This is yummy and super quick.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">I would even try corn tortillas cut into strips and baked until crisp to add some crunch.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">My husband said the lady at work added noodles instead of tortillas.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">Any way give it a try!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">See ya tomorrow</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">Mauna</span></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div align="center">At the end I decided it needed a kick so I added some very fine glitter around the celebrate.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I am not sure if it shows up in the picture.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I made 26 of these little suckers. Got a few hot glue ouchies.</div><div align="center"><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the beginning of the ornament I am making.<br />
<br />
