My Friday Finds . . .

 

A few of the things I find each week that inspire me to want to do better, to create, to become better, to read more, to watch, to just DO something! Things that delight, inspire, and bring me joy.  Maybe they will do the same thing for you!

Kids Craft Room. Yarn and Stick Christmas Trees.  Some of you may have a house full of grandchildren, etc. over the next few days. Here is something to keep them busy!

Facts about cheese melting.  Good to know.

And for when you don't have the right sized pan you need from Clabber Girl.

 *Faith is the art of holding

on to things in spite of your

changing  moods and circumstances.

~C. S. Lewis  •。★★ 。* 。 

I don't know where I would be without faith.  Sometimes it has been the only thing helping me to keep moving forward! 

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Fondant Potatoes. Buttery, golden brown and crisp on the outside, melt in the mouth tender on the inside. In short, delicious!

I hope you have a great Friday.  Stay safe and warm, especially if you live where it is storming at the moment!  Whatever you get up to, don't forget!
