Rachel's Junk in the Trunk,not in a Kim Kardashian Junk Fashion

Love Trunks!

When I first set out to creat a blog,I was going to alot of garage sales. My back trunk would get filled with items hence the name "Rachel's Junk in the Trunk". Most see the name and automatically think something in a Kim Kardashion sort of fashion. Nope. Just a lover of trunks.

One 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
3 cups graham cracker crumbs (I used a mini food processor or buy the crumbs in a box)

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Nellie and Joe’s Key Lime Juice
2 pounds white chocolate candy discs or white chocolate chips, melted

DIRECTIONS:
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Beat in the Oreo and graham cracker crumbs, lime juice and flour. Stick them in fridge for 30 minutes or so until they become firm.
Line a cookie sheet with foil. Roll dough into balls with the palm of your hands and place on the cookie sheet. Put in the freezer for 30-45 minutes.

Megan Feedback on Facebook


There are times I get an idea in my head and I go for it. I wanted to ModPodge a white wig form. As I placed more and more pieces of cut outs from fashion and food magazines, the more the head gained artsy personality. Well, I put her on Facebook and the reaction was mixed.They either loved  it or hated it. One friend even asked WHY? What do you think?

Christmas in Williamsburg 300 Family Traditions


Wanted to share this beautiful book with lovely pictures. This explains the celebration of Christmas down through the centuries and how the holidays evolved in America. It also explains the re-enactments in Williamsburg, Virginia and how many tourists come each year to experience Christmas there. A few crafts and recipes are included.
It's always nice to read the history of Christmas traditions. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to write and create  their own traditions book to share with children and the grandchildren? Do you have traditions or find yourself just getting through the holidays? Julia and I are at the point where we figure a pizza and movie is more our speed. We've been alone the past 2 Christmas',we've started our own Mommie and Me tradition. It's cheaper and drama free. 
We  do love going to Christmas service at Skyline Church. Worshipping, singing and counting all our blessings! 
Whatever traditions you follow and experience may you cherish those memories and write them down, pass them along ,starting your own traditions  book! 
Happy Holidays!

Burlap Blue

I know its not even Thanksgiving however while perusing the blogger world,I stopped by Burlap + Blue and came across really beautiful Christmas decorations.Really the only reminder for me,Christmas was near is Starbucks changing into holiday cups.Funny that's my red flag so to speak. Julia and I really don't celebrate the Holidays.Could it be our living arrangement again this year or scarred by family drama? Chuckle. Its not so bad.We make it our own special time together or at Church. Now back to Burlap + Blue
Burlap + Blue

 When do you start decorating? After Black Friday? A friend,explained for the first few years her Husband tolerated her decorating before Thanksgiving yet finally told her wait till December 1st. It still hurts her heart!
How can you not wait to put this on display?

 There was so many more wonderful pictures! Visit them when you get a chance.

The Polohouse: Collections

The Polohouse: Collections:                          "Earthly possessions"

Love this photograph! It's neat to see what people collect.
Do you have a collection?
At what point do you say OK I have enough.
I guess when you are having to rent 2- 10x30 storage units right?
It would be hard for couples when one is a collector and the other not.
Are you a collector or having to live with one? Interesting to see the dynamics of that conversation!
I used to collect however with all the downsizing Julia and I have endured, we don't collect. The only thing we collect nowadays is missing socks.
