Welcome to the very first installment of Celebrations of Home!

We have rebranded our monthly no-sew group to include a variety of ideas to offer inspiration for your seasonal home.

We've also added a few new members for added variety!

This month we are celebrating all things fall! At the end of my post, you will find the links to the other projects for this month!

I am sharing a recipe for Semi-Homemade Spice Cake.

This cake starts with a box mix. It smells like fall as the spices are blended and it bakes in your oven.

A friend gave me this hand-written recipe years ago. It is fabulous for gift giving at Christmas because it freezes well. You can make them in advance and freeze without the icing. Thaw when ready to serve or give as a gift and add the icing.

It is wonderful with a glass of cold milk or hot tea for an afternoon snack.

Even though baked in a Bundt pan, it is not dense like a pound cake. It is very light and moist.
