Everybody needs a “go to” dessert that looks (and tastes) like it took a long time make when in reality it took about ten minutes.

I rationalized that staying up until 3:00 am to finish a project would normally be a bad thing. But since it was really only 10:00 pm in Auckland, and I still had jet lag then I was wide awake. Well, kind of. Maybe I was awake when I started slicing the strawberries.

I decided to bring a handmade touch to our holiday decorations by creating a stunning poinsettia Christmas wreath. I made this stunning poinsettia wreath using crepe paper and pan pastels, which give the crepe paper petals a more realistic look.
