Hey you all! As you probably are well aware... It's getting close to Christmas time! In my family, Christmas time means Christmas cards! Every afternoon, Mom would pull out from the mail anything that looked like a Christmas card, and we would open them all together at dinner. Then Mom would use them as part of the Christmas decorations, and hang them all over the house in the windows. Our favorite cards were always the ones with photographs in or on them! Last year, I got married AND had a baby, so this is the first year for my own family to send out Christmas cards, AND we have an important reason to include a photo! But I don't have a lot of time or money to spend on cards, so I need an inexpensive, easy-to-use way of making them, and some way to include a picture of my cute son. Shutterfly is perfect for me! It is a photo sharing website, and they have an array of Holiday cards in lots of designs, with great options for different ways to include your photos! Go here to check it out!

Recipe of the Day:
Butterbeer
That's right, folks- Harry Potter's favorite drink ;)
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons water
6 Tablespoons butter, cut into chunks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
4 (12 ounce) bottles cream soda
In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat; cook, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240 degrees on a candy thermometer.
Stir in butter, salt, vinegar, and 1/4 cup cream, until butter melts. Let cool to room temperature, then stir in rum extract.
Transfer 2 Tablespoons of the sugar butter mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup cream. With an electric mixer, beat on medium-high until just thickened, but not completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes.
To serve, divide brown sugar mixture among 10 small glasses. Add 2 tablespoons of cream soda to each glass, then stir to combine. Add the remaining cream soda, dividing evenly, then spoon whipped cream over each.
Yield: 10 small servings.
