I’ve been an absentee blogger for a few days now!  My family flew in for the holidays so I’ve been spending most of my time showing them around town, cooking cold-weather meals, gossiping, baking, and wrapping presents.  Although most of my giant family is still back home, I think this may be my favorite Christmas ever ^===^.  So now I’ll get back to baking, chatting, and making Christmas cheer!  I’ll return to regular posting shortly, complete with lovely new tutorials, interviews and general adorableness!
