Yesterday was going great...we were baking sugar cookies and had planned to make Christmas plate deliveries to all the neighbors after supper. Then I burned my hand really badly on crock pot steam. I sat with my thumb in cold water for 5 hours because it hurt so bad if I had it out of the water. Today I have a giant blister and scald marks but the pain is gone. We all have colds now though. Tis the season.Today we enjoyed opening our gifts with the girls. The floor was covered in ripped open wrapping paper. Then my folks came over to open gifts and enjoy a delicious breakfast casserole. Oh, it was so good. Now we're playing the new Wii that Santa left for the girls...and we're heading back to my folks for a wonderful Christmas dinner with the family.
I'd like everyone to take time to think of those who are missing from our celebrations this year. We have had way too many tragedies in our community this year and my heart goes out to everyone who has to celebrate this first Christmas without their loved ones. I also think of our dear Jeff who we miss always but especially on the holidays.
I am so thankful for all of my friends and family....and for you, my blogging friends. Your warm comments and stories that you share with me make my blogging so much fun. We'll continue our friendship into the New Year as we create more goodies together. Merry Christmas everyone. Stay safe and warm and embrace your families with warmth and tenderness this holiday season.
Hugs from Mish

Wow, better load up on the Advil for that hand. Hope you healing is swift.
Thanks for sharing your Christmas cheer with all of us!
Merry Christmas, Mish! Hope that crafty hand is on the mend - ouch! Take care, enjoy, and thanks again for your constant gift of inspiration.
Merry Christmas--thank you for a great year of good ideas and inspiration.......hope your hand heals quickly--
Oh no Mish...Sorry to hear you had an accident. There is a scripture in the Bible that is wonderful to quote when burns or bleeding happens...it's soothes the pain...and eases bleeding.
Highlight it in your Bible...believe it by faith according to your faith.
Ezekiel 16:6
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
Merry Christmas my friend!
Oh no, Michelle! Praying that your hand heals fast and that you're as pain-free as possible.
You're always an inspiration. May you and your family have a blessed Christmas. :)
Hope your hand heals quickly! I stuck my hand in my new KitchenAid mixer - while it was going! Ouch! Merry Christmas to you all.
If I lived nearer I would kiss your hand and make it better. Worked for the kids and grandkids.
Thank you for all your creative juices. With much love, Suzanne
Steam burns hurt so much! Take care and enjoy your girls' time off. Thank you for all the inspiration and energy you share with us. I LOVED your 12 days of Christmas with Melissa! My two faves!
Sorry about your hand, hope it is on the mend soon!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, always enjoy your blog about family and your inspiration to me on crafting!!
I'm so sorry to hear about your burned hand. Not a nice thing to happen. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas.
i hope that your hand is better - no fun to be in pain..thank YOU for all that you shared through your blog this year. I have some great recipes - and some wonderful ideas for NEXT year! is it really going to be 2011?? how did that happen?!! take care
Oh no Mish!! Hope your hand is better today sweetie, and your neighbors will be so excited when they get your goodies!!! xoxo Cindy
What a bummer that you burnt your thumb! Thank goodness it's feeling better!
Ouch! Those steam burns HURT! I have done it on many occasions(hey! I've never been accused of being very intelligent in the kitchen!) and personally try to get as much mileage as I can with them, but I know the pain. Hope it heals soon!
Had wanted to leave a comment yesterday when I read this, but was busy showing my Mom your berry basket, letter tray and jello molds so she can keep her eye out for them at auctions (which she loves; I don't have the patience). But hope, burn aside, you and your family had a wonderful and Merry Christmas. As someone who lost my Daddy on New Year's Day, I know your thoughts of those families in your community who have lost someone this year, means a lot to them. The "firsts" are hard, but I personally think Christmas is always hard.
I hope you and your family have a happy and safe New Year and looking forward to all the wonderful inspiration in the coming year.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and joyous New Year!!! Thank you for all you share with us thru your blog.....I hope to use more of your inspiration in the new year!!! I have to learn how to work more in advance!! Hope your hand heals quickly. Take care.
OUCH! Words never sounded so true. This is a sad time for so many and a call, visit or hug makes it all better! You are a good friend for trying to share your love! And burning your hand was a sneaky way to get out of doing the dishes! (JK)
Merry Christmas, Mish! Hope you are feeling better soon.

Merry Christmas, Mish!!
Hi Mish, Glad you all had a good holiday! I'm going to share a burn remedy I discovered years ago when my hand was badly burned with popcorn ball syrup. Use the old fashioned kind of Desitin. I hold an ice cube on the burn for a few minutes to stop further burn damage. Then put a thick layer of Desitin all over the burn area and cover it completely for 24 hours. For my hand I used a handkerchief because I didn't have bandages large enough. The next morning my burn area was just slightly sensitive - no blisters and no further problem. Now I always keep Desitin on hand.
sorry to hear that, and the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago. Hugs Emma
Mish, next time apply antibiotic ointment with "pain" reliever (it's lidocaine). Stops hurting within a mintue or two. From a fellow burn victim!
You are so very thoughtful for your remembrance. So sorry to hear that you burned yourself,,, ouch!! Hope you are doing better now. In the picture, you looked like you and your daughter were having a grand time!!!
Oh dear not a good way to start the day. I'm glad your hand feels a little better now. Thanks for a wonderful year of blogging. I can't wait each day to see what you have to say and show us. You're so generous. Wishing you the most beautiful things for 2011.
Send me some PB balls. I did not make any this year. No one to cook with. I love them.
Happy News Year Mish and Thanks for all your creativity.
