GAME MANIA

So I have pulled together my Thanksgiving Day recipes! I mentioned last week I'll be sharing a weekly post up until the holiday. I've included all of the saved recipes and my thoughts. I have also pinned them here - under my recipes board. I loved this table setting guide breakdown. I'll be going with a basic table setting but adding a water glass too. Enjoy! I'm going to try and brine my turkey this year. Recipe here . I am a classic stuffing girl. I actually use a recipe out of my Mother's 1970's copy of Better Homes and Garden's cookbook. It's yummy. I add extra butter. I LOVE sweet potatoes. I thought these sounded like a twist on the traditional holiday veggie . Again, I keep my squash pretty classic with lots of butter and a little brown sugar. My Mom bakes the best rolls ever. I should probably learn the recipe. She also always bakes sticky buns. These look similar to her rolls , they are a blend of sweet and salty. Delish!  I've never add...

I've decided to host Thanksgiving at my home this year, so I thought it would be fun to share my ideas through a mini-series of posts leading up to the holiday.  I'll be setting a beautiful table and will photograph the details and will share the end results with you right before Thanksgiving. I've been doing a little research, I'm going to use these images to inspire my center piece and table setting ideas. I plan to mix natural elements with china, crystal and candles. I'll be revealing my menu next week!!  Enjoy!

I adore the coin sculptures by artist Justine Smith . hmmm I think I need one of these in gold! I'm feeling a D.I.Y. project!! LOVE YOUR MOMMY, LOVE YOURSELF! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MY WONDERFUL, STRONG, HARDWORKING, BEAUTIFUL READERS WHO ARE MOMMIES! MAKE SURE TO TAKE SOME TIME FOR YOURSELF - I KNOW IT'S A RARE THING!! XXX.

This isn't the final layout either so if it feels a bit clunky don't worry, we're still working on it. You will now start out at the Party Screen.

Kevin wasn't happy with how the original male turned out so he wanted redesign him. There were also some technical issues we started to notice after finishing the original male which would eventually become a hinderance if we didn't address them now. So with that in mind he built the female in a way that could overcome the technicalities that the original male's build had trouble with and then planned to rebuild the male himself using the...

Fire is back and Shadow is still here. You will now have a character with all Fire skills, another with all Shadow skills, and the last with a mix. This gives you an idea of how your characters can have different skill setups and allows you to play around with each. The effect of the Shadow skills is now more apparent with it's new graphics, namely the DaT effect of Shadow. We've also added some cool...

HTD Logo WIP Go here to read the Day 14 of Hero Tower Defense Tuesdays. Today is just a small update since it's Thanksgiving. I just wanted to give a brief rundown of our progress and some changes. First, a reminder about the HTD day change. Sam was posting the PTD post later in the week at first but recently has been posting it on Monday because it works out better with his current scheduling of the weekly PTD update. Having the PTD post on Monday then immediately having the HTD post on Tuesday squishes things together. To remedy the problem we're going to change things a bit and have the PTD post on Monda...
