Is there anyone out there who hasn't used Amazon?  It is just so convenient and if you are a Prime Member, that free shipping is a game changer when it comes to gift giving to people who live across the country, or for any reason!  I hate paying shipping costs!  So much Christmas and Birthday shopping happens on line these days, and I'll bet that 99% of it happens on Amazon.  While I do love a good shopping experience in a brick and mortar store sometimes, I have to admit that I have jumped on board the Amazon train with both feet!  
     This past holiday season, about 50% of my gift giving was done through Amazon.  I do make many of my gifts, but even the components for making those gifts often came to me through an Amazon order.  Sometimes, even searching Amazon can be a bit tedious, so I love it when someone shares amazing finds on there with a link that saves me from taking the time to search for something that I didn't even realize I wanted! LOL!   Today, I'm going to share with you some of our favorite things that we've ordered from Amazon this past year!  

     Christmas Morning!  After the hustle and bustle is over, the gifts are opened and you want to relax for just a bit, a delicious, decadent breakfast that is still somewhat easy to prepare is just what you want!  In this post, I'm sharing a few of our favorites that have that holiday vibe! 

     During the holidays, eggnog is one of our favorite drinks, whether it is from the grocery store or homemade. (Always alcohol free here!)  A series of events led me to think about making Snickerdoodles with a touch of eggnog flavor! These would be the perfect accompaniment with that glass of eggnog you are enjoying!  Click read more to find out how I made them! 

     Christmas isn't Christmas for me if there aren't any handmade gifts!  This year, I happen to have a plethora of bottlecaps that I've been looking for something sensational to do with, and boy have I found some fun and useful ideas!  
       There is a Pop Shop near us here in Phoenix that sells all kinds of crazy flavors of Soda Pop.  Last year I shopped there to make this terrific, (and very well received), gift for the men in our family.  Now, my grandchildren love to frequent that shop whenever they can, and when they do, they save the bottlecaps for me!   You can paint the caps or you can let the favorite flavors show when making these gifts!  Click "read more" to find out all about them!
