Check out cake number 3 in the 12 Days of Christmas!  The berets are funny.

Jessica at Jessica's Cakes must also know that I love the frosting. There is plenty of it.  It will be hard to get this one home without taking a bite!

Check out this creepy looking Christmas Candy I got today....

The mother of a severely ill teenager in North Carolina says an angel saved the life of her dying daughter, and she has the photograph to prove it.  

Chelsea Banton was suffering from an advanced case of pneumonia in November – the latest in a string of illnesses.  Colleen Banton, her mother, says by the time Chelsea was 2-years-old, she had been to the hospital for pneumonia, later for hydrocephalus, shunt revisions in her skull, life-threatening viruses, and in July, fluid retention in her body required doctors to draw three liters of liquid from her small frame.

But this past November, a bad cold turned into pneumonia and Chelsea spent seven weeks in the hospital on life-support.

“We had been praying every day...for a miracle.”

The pneumonia spread from her left lung to her right lung. Then she had sepsis and blood clots, staph infections, E. coli, a collapsed lung and feeding problems.

In October, doctors wondered whether to take Chelsea off of the ventilator. They had tried it several times before, but each time, Chelsea struggled to breathe.

On Oct. 31, Chelsea’s family decided the next time she was strong enough to come off the ventilator, they would not replace it.

So Chelsea came off the ventilator on Nov. 1, and at first, she seemed to do well.

The next day, her health started to falter, and she began having anxiety attacks with the oxygen mask over her face.  Chelsea's mother struggled with the decision over whether to remove her daughter’s oxygen mask.

As family and friends went to visit Chelsea – for what they thought might be the last time on Nov. 5 – and prayed over what to do – a nurse practitioner called Colleen’s attention to a nearby monitor, which displayed the door to the pediatric intensive care unit.

“On the monitor, there was this bright light,” Banton said. “And I looked at it, and said, ‘Oh, my goodness! It looks like an angel!”

Colleen immediately took out her camera and captured the image.

Chelsea, who turns 15 on Christmas Day, went home from the hospital three days later.

Her family believes a miracle has occurred.

Have you experienced a miracle?  Tell me about it today at 5:00 during Anyone Listening Who!

A hilarious book for people who have cats and even those who don't like cats, really....WET CATS is the title of the book.  Everyone knows that cats hate to get wet but when they do it's pretty funny...and someone takes a photo.  200 laugh-out-loud photographs of wet cat behavior...whether they were in the rain, needed a bath or fell in the tub. You can find it at book stores.

If you have dog or cat, get a pet camera.  While you are at work or when you let your cat out for the night, he wears a camera on his collar that will take photos at timed intervals.  You will be able to see where your pet goes and what they do when you aren't around and you can view the world from their perspective. It's by National Geographic Kids and you can get it at Target for 29.99.  Or Google "Pet View Camera" to find it elsewhere.

My second Christmas cake arrived today.  It is soooooooo pretty!  The detail is incredible.  All of these are coming from Jessica's Cakes.  I am obsessed with the show Ace of Cakes on the Food Network, so I can really appreciate the work that goes into all that piping and those sweet little birdies.

My first day back from vacation and I got a great surprise from some friends of mine!  Check it out! 

How cute is THIS???!!!
