My Cognac Buche de Noel from France
Added by Fiona Ha on Dec 18, 2012
My mum has always made me Buche de Noel (Chocolate Log) when I have been with my family at Christmas. This is my mother's recipe that I have improved with Grand Marnier because I like to have that alcoholic tang to it. This is probably the most traditional of French recipes, so enjoy it with me this year!

A Recycled Christmas Tree
Added by Shirley Jeanne Sutherland on Dec 14, 2012
My 2012 Christmas idea is not going to win any votes or prizes, but I had to tell you what we did when a 60' spruce tree in front of our house at the lake came crashing down when Hurricane Sandy blew through Southern Ontario a few weeks ago. A neighbour cut the tree up for us and every piece of it has been put to good use. Some branches have been used as the basis of beautiful outdoor planters for myself and several friends, and others are lining our curved front walkway. Smaller logs are now drying under the deck for next summer's bonfires. The rest of the branches and the biggest blocks of wood have been returned to the woods to be reclaimed by Mother Nature. But the top nine feet of that tree struck gold: they got a second shot at life as our Christmas Tree this year! Now it's not the prettiest tree we've ever had --- in fact, it's pretty much a Charlie Brown tree --- but it did come complete with its own authentic pinecones, and the spindly branches allowed our precious 45-years'-worth of family ornaments to be shown off in all their glory. When Christmas is over, the tree will be returned to the woods to provide shelter and nourishment for the forest creatures, and ultimately some of its pinecones will produce another generation of spruces. Think what a story it will have to tell its children and grandchildren! "See that house over there? Would you believe that in the winter of 2012 I spent over a month in its family room, the centre of everyone's attention, surrounded by beautifully-wrapped gifts, and covered with the most amazing decorations. Let me tell you about the decorations ..."

I know I did. It happened to me here when my blog was voted as one of the TOP 100 INTERIOR DESIGN BLOGS for 2013. I had no idea how fun it would be to kill a competion {{in a good way}}
Kiss me.
Kiss me NOW.
I don’t normally do competition well. I get all sorts of uncomfortable with competition. Well, not any more. It was a hoot ! I almost pee’d my pants with excitement. Enter this Christmas competition and pee your pants with me. Should I be admitting that in my outside voice? My bad.
Your excitement levels will fly sooooo high, you may shoot wine milk outta ‘yer nose. Until weed becomes legal, this may be the most fun you may have without getting arrested.
Before the Top Design Blog competition, I didn’t know jack about voting and how to use a list.ly list. Now, I could quite possibly, full frontal smooch listly. They rock out loud. Listly is top drawer amazeballs. It is a great traffic generator for your site and a great way to really interact with each other. Note: Not only does the SEO juice stay right on your blog…..it really is a blast when everyone gets together to create an epic project full of great ideas.
Share this contest/list within social media so that others may find the list and vote for your entry. If you don’t have an entry, you may still share the list, for someone who may love to be added or may want to vote.
* Healthy competition is a blast.

* Be a Christmas hussy. I don’t care. I won’t tell. You need votes sista.
What do you need to enter the Christmas DIY competition?
Christmas skills.
How easy is that?
Easy. Sneezy. Peasy. Sleazy.

It is super easy to vote for your favourite entries! Try it in the list above. Just push all the buttons and surely you will land on the right one eventually. Actually, all you really need to do is click the thumbs up. If you get stuck, I will help you. Doofus. Jokes. I’m just kidding. Not really. Seriously.
Bother me! I’m here to help. No I’m not. I’m just trying to be nice. I’m actually feeling a little Christmas bitchy. Tis the season to throat punch someone. They say that my bark is worse than my bite. I personally disagree.
Just click the thumbs up thingy beside your favourite entry in the list. You may only vote once (I tried to cheat, and it doesn’t work) Not that I would cheat. I would definitely cheat. Don’t tell my mother.
You can, however, vote for more than one entry. That is not cheating. Share the love.
Note : If you click on the blog title, it will take you to the blog post. That is cool and fun to do to see the blog post, but it is NOT a vote.
You must click the thumbs up to vote.
NOTE : As soon as you give the thumbs up vote, you will need to sign in. It is easy. It will prompt you and tell you what to do. Why? To make sure that you are not a robot or Internet troll. It is to confirm that you are, in fact, a real person. You must sign in via twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or Google +.
It is completely safe and easy to do. No spam will come from signing in. It is that simple.
I promise that you won’t get spammy emails about how to grow a larger penis. If you have a penis. Or not. If you need a larger penis, it’s not my probs. Get over it. LOL.
Now get to it !
Not the penis growing.
The voting.
The submitting.
The wine drinking.
*
Whatevehaaahh.
Just have some FUN.
If you don’t have friends to vote for you, go find some.
The most votes will get you to the top of the list.
Remember, voting ends on Friday, December 21st at 5 pm EST.
Get ‘yer butt in gear.
It is really fun. I pinkie swear promise.
If it isn’t fun, we won’t do it together.
Right?! Right.
Wishing you a
HAIRY MISTRESS
uhhhmm…
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Now swing back up to the top of this post and enter some amazeballs ideas for Christmas!
Good Luck !!
P.S. If you want to help by bringing more friends, please post this photo to pinterest :
Thank you !!!!
Another type is a plastic helmet style, with a ridge of bristles as opposed to
wheels. It comes with a see-through tank that helps you know when you
are running low on fuel. Rodents love to nestle in mulch where
its fluffy insulation keeps them warm and toasty all winter.
Great idea Lynne. You are a genius of creativity and fun!

This is sooo much fun, Lynn! Love seeing all the great ideas on your list. Although after “scouring” your list I still think mine is amazeballs. Hahahaha, scouring – get it?? Too much eggnog tonight for me, xo.
Scouring the list ! hahaha Dani, love your idea !!
Loving these great ideas….
Give up…it’s no good saying “don’t tell my mom”…. I tricked you and learned how to read.
Oh ya…and while we’re on the subject of why you “don’t” cheat, tell everyone why you can’t lie and cheat…BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS GET CAUGHT!!!! Don’t you remember being asked “who ate all the chocolate” and you saying “not me” (I still don’t know who “not me” actually is)….anyways back to the tale… “not me” talking with chocolate on the cracks of your lips and between your teeth…and then you would go BEET RED. Oh ya.,..you don’t lie. Shame on you…. …..Your Mother
and I do have a Christmas decoration entry:
Line up 8 or 9 tiny marshmellows & put up a delicate sign in front of the line “Reindeer Poops” ….or another Christmas favourite: Cotton ball earings (they are suppose to look like snowballs Lynne) What do you think? do I have a chance with 2 entries?
Go for it momma ! You are so bad-ass.
Reindeer Poop. Are we related? It is true, isn’t it? Aunt Gail told me I was adopted. xx
What a great idea Lynne, this is fun! I included my centerpiece, hope you are having a fab Holiday Season! Love ya!
Thanks Maribel,
It is so easy to enter isn’t it? I LOVE it. P.s. Your centrepiece is beautiful ! I voted for it. Don’t forget to vote for yourself(you can vote once for yourself) , and share it so your friends can vote for you! The sharing button is in the bottom right of your entry. Good luck !! xx
I would like to submit one of my Christmas Paper Mache Ideas, but I don’t have a facebook account. Here is the link to my project idea: http://nikitaland.wordpress.com/2012/11/21/a-paper-mache-palooza/
