Has anyone ever tried one of these ovens?

I saw a commercial for them this weekend and I'm curious if they actually work as well as they claim on TV. Probably not, right? Let me know if you have used or know someone who has used one of these before! They're basically the same thing, they're just from two different companies. Thanks!

A Cozy Freebie!

Inspired by a BLISSFUL evening of snuggling under a "blankie" and reading a good book while the house was empty, I scrapped my experience in my "About Me" album and made these items to help me tell my story. Now I share them with you! I especially like the texture of the red chenille "paper" - it's just like my favorite throw in my family room! So here you go. I hope you take the time to have your own "cozy moment" this holiday season!

One of my heros...

Teresa McFayden and her blog, My MiNuTia (one of my daily stops on the 'net), has oh-so-generously shared a how-to post so we can all "attempt" to make a darling advent calendar from a cookie sheet like hers. Ha! I could only TRY! But I thought I'd tell you guys where to find it in case you want to give it a shot. Just "click the pic" to go there.
