Things are settling down and it is fitting like a glove!

I am here a bit early to try a second attempt at blogging! My account at http://willowtreetreasures.etsy.com has gone full circle. I now have people "hearting" me as their favorites and even have my witch and cat doll made a favorite! I haven't sold anything yet but I love to see who is accepting my form of art. I have seen alot of great items there that I may check into myself!

I am getting more comfortable with coming into my blog and finding my way around. There are things I still would like to add like a counter and more favorite sites so I will be doing that soon too ...as soon as I learn how!LOL

It will be Valentine's Day soon and wanted to make a recipe available for anyone interested to try that is reading my posts on a regular basis. It is called "Pretzel Torte." If you love pretzels and cream cheese you have to try this one!
