I know, Christmas is over. But this is how I do things...
I see things that other people have done, and I collect ideas that I want to try. Then, by the time next Christmas rolls around, I know exactly how I want to pull it off.

I finally have it all set in my mind exactly how I'd like to decorate our log home -- with Christmas trees (yes, plural) and other holiday decorations.

I've been writing a lot about microwaves, stoves, and other kitchen appliances lately. So I thought I'd give you a heads-up that some of the most popular microwave ovens have been recalled... 92,000 of 'em!
Yesterday's recall involves microwave combo wall ovens sold under the brand names:
- GE
- GE Profile
- Kenmore
The units affected by the recall were sold from January 2000 to December 2003.
