Here&#8217;s my five picks for this week.  Darn, I wish I hadn&#8217;t decided on a 5 post limit, but I did and I will have to live with it. I&#8217;m not saying that I didn&#8217;t check out more posts, so hint, hint&#8230; go take a look at a few others. You won&#8217;t be disappointed!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.robustcooking.com/cranberry-pumpkin-cookies/">Cranberry Pumpkin Cookies</a>&#8230; Rachel has perfected a cookie that I think that a lot of us are going to want to try this holiday season. And she&#8217;s right&#8230; there&#8217;s nothing like warm cookies straight from the oven!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hankeringforyarn.com/christmas-lights">Christmas Lights to Knit</a>&#8230; don&#8217;t you just love it when someone else ( Del) finds the perfect craft pattern for you. Now all I have to do is to learn how to knit!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.simplythrifty.com/quick-holiday-shopping-tip-save-100/">Quick Holiday Shopping Tip</a>&#8230; you are going to like this one and as shopping is my favorite pass-time, I&#8217;m going to pay attention. Every hundred dollars (and that&#8217;s what this post is all about) saved can always be used at a later date!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.motherearthsgarden.com/gifts-for-the-gardener-easy-bloom-plant-sensor/">Easy Bloom Plant Sensor</a>&#8230; now here is a gadget that someone on your gift list is going to love.  And here&#8217;s the cool part&#8230; it uses the same <a target="_top" href="http://www.motherearthsgarden.com/gifts-for-the-gardener-easy-bloom-plant-sensor/#" onmouseout="adlinkMouseOut(event,this,2);" onclick="adlinkMouseClick(event,this,2);" style="position: static; text-decoration: underline! important" onmouseover="adlinkMouseOver(event,this,2);" id="KonaLink2" oncontextmenu="return false;" class="kLink"><font color="#395221" style="font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; position: static"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; position: relative" class="kLink">technology</span></font></a> that was used on NASA’s Mars Phoenix mission to measure the soil.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kettleandcup.com/starbucks-gingerbread-lattenot-bad/">Starbucks Gingerbread Latte&#8230; not bad</a>  Mary says that it is so and who am I to disagree?? Actually I have already sipped this particular latte and I loved it! If this doesn&#8217;t put you in the holiday mood, you simply are out of luck for this year. <img src='http://www.blisstree.com/keepingthecastle/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
