Recipe There are lots of possibilties when it comes to recipes but for the ones that are passed down from a greneration or
from a freind those are among my favorite. In the coming months we will feature some recipes that were gifted to me in the
recent Holidays passed from dear freind, to relative, to me. For now we can start this year with one of our own thats somewhat
light and surely satisfying! |

Values
Recall what you might have learned this year. Be it a lesson in life or an acquired gratefulness. To learn that
things take time and may not happen over night, build on your great craft and let it reflect on everyone you meet.
It will go a long way. |

Wrap It Up We have done this for gifts in the past, and I swear it ends
up being so much better than the shiny stuff from the store. whether you just leave it plain and wrap a bow around it
or color on it, it always ends up meaning more. Using paper bags to wrap gifts is surely green but it's also quite
durable. So wrap it up! |
Make
Your Own Butter  We shared a link on our website before on making your own bread and this we do all the time and haven't bought bread from the store in almost a year now. So here is another very easy way
to save some dough for the Holidays and maybe a lifetime. Get this recipe. |

| Jon Walker releases second solo album New Songs 
When you have an Artist you like, there is usually that album in their
career where you have to talk yourself into liking it or have to listen to it over and over again until you become okay with
it or finally learn to live with it. I never have to do that with Jons music. What
I always get when listening to a Jon Walker record is a tasteful and timeless sound that's early rock inspired, tenderly poetic,
in a simple but full sound that embraces exactly what's on my mind. Thanks Jon! |
Hanky
Pankies! Now you will have to be careful if you google this because
of the name, but there isn't a better snack to prepare for a party or a holiday as easy as this one. They will go quick
and be a favorite even quicker. Watch out though, If you make them once, You may be required to make them for every holiday.
No worries! Prep is easy! |

VOAK RADIO! Have you ever attempted
to get your music on the radio? I have been there and back again only to return empty handed. There are so many avenues to
consider. Satellite radio, Internet radio and FM radio. While considering Internet Radio to be the best of choices, I still
found it hard to jump through all the hoops just to get a song played. After making digital press kits and formatting,
finding who to send it to, the time invested was of no value to me. I figured I could make my own simple playlist in less
time and also offer other musicians an opportunity to showcase their music just by emailing an mp3 to our site. Now that's Indie! New shows will air
at the beginning of each month and be hosted by James T. Orton, with this month featuring the talents of Jon Walker,
Jacob Givens and Panic Pixel Just to name a few. Listen and tell us what you think! |
