Can you all see what's all in this picture above? It's all sinful really! But it's that time of the year, the big kick off to the Christmas holiday cookie baking begins today. I'm up to my neck in ingredients and it's time to get them going I guess. My gram loves to make all types of cookies and then she makes up cookie platters to give to all her friends and family. It's getting harder and harder for her to do these now but she still really wants to do them, so I told her that I'd help her out more this year. I have scoped the net to find some newer recipes and I've found quite a few that I'll be trying for the first time. Did you know that Hershey's now has "Candy Cane Kisses" ? They are white chocolate with some red striping and candy cane bits. The company has a recipe using them called, "Candy Cane Blossoms", which is a take on the Peanut Butter Blossoms, only using a regular dough rolled in red or green sugar instead of the plain white sugar. They are really cute and colorful, and I'm excited to make those!
Before I go to get to mixing up some cookies, I wanted to share with you a page that I finished up last week for a blog challenge at Rusty Pickle. The challenge for the month of November is to create a page using 3 of their patterned papers and stamping in the page title.
I love using RP stuff in my scrapbooking, so this was an easy, fun challenge. Title: She's Call Waiting
Supplies used -
Cardstock: Bazzill.
Patterned paper: Rusty Pickle (Girlfriend-Doodles, Fair Verona-Fair Verona, and Fair Verona-Hope).
Stamps: Rusty Pickle, Kari Alphabet (SMP04) and Fair Verona (SMP56).
Alpha Stickers: Rusty Pickle, Chocolate Bunnies Alphas.
Ink: Stampin' Up.
Chipboard scallop circle: Making Memories.
The photos are of my niece, Lera waiting for her Prom Date to arrive.
Journaling reads -
"BLAB...BLAB...BLAB...
BLAH...BLAH...BLAH...
Seems like she has nothing better to do while waiting for her Prom Date! {May 5, 2007}."
I'll tell ya, she's attached to that cell phone of hers like 24/7. I think I'm glad that I never had a cell while I was growing up. But I guess maybe it's better than driving your parents crazy with a busy phone line!
Okay, I really must go. I need to get to baking... Have a great day... and week!
