Welcome to the Friday Finds for 12-13-2024 🎄

Have you finished your holiday shopping? If not, don’t worry—you’re not alone! I’m wrapping mine up this weekend, just in time to dive into cookie-baking and holiday fudge-making. This week’s finds are packed with festive recipes, fantastic reads, and heartwarming traditions to inspire your season.

From a nostalgic 4-ingredient Jell-O salad to sweet and salty popcorn perfection, you’ll find something to add to your holiday table. Bookworms, don’t miss the lineup of reviews, spotlights, and gift-worthy reads—including thrillers, cozy mysteries, and children’s tales that make perfect presents.

Also, a huge congrats to Tom Tracy, whose book Jazmyne’s Big Emotions is up for two prestigious awards! And for those feeling crafty, I’ve included simple knit and crochet patterns to make your own festive hat.

Let’s keep the season fun and stress-free (we’ll try, right?). Check out my weekly fun question—this week, we’re talking holiday traditions. What’s yours?

Peace, love, and holiday cheer! 💖

Welcome to the Friday Finds for 11-22-2024.

Greetings from snowy Wisconsin, where I’m celebrating my youngest grandson’s birthday and staying through Thanksgiving! To my friends in the USA, have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and delicious food. To everyone else, wishing you a cozy and joyful weekend ahead.

This week’s finds are packed with exciting recipes, book reviews, crafty creations, and a call for a cherished family recipe. Do you know a good Spanish Cream Pie recipe? I’d love to hear from you!

Don’t forget—I’m taking next week off to enjoy time with my family, but I’ll be back on December 6th with more finds. Until then, peace, love, and happy holidays!

💖 Gina
