My Christmas JOY, New Customers and Snowman!

By the time my Santa Belly Ornament arrived, I had found a great use for it.  This idea came from Pinterest, using a different ornament.

I love my JOY.

We had a few mountain friends over for dinner and served smoked brisket, beans, rolls and a couple of appetizers.  This one is so so simple.  First, you cut a brick of cream cheese diagonally, then place them together to look like a tree.  Chop up some candied jalapeños in your food processor to top the tree.  Add a pepper for the stem and the top.  Serve with crackers.  YUM!

Oh, I might add that this dinner really paid off by serving everything in Longaberger.  Our guests were impressed with my pottery.  I sent home three catalogs, as per requests.  One has already paid off with a $600 show.  Please, please entertain in your home using Longaberger.  

Longaberger still sells itself!

Upon the arrival of my snowman, I added a few decorations.
