SNOWY BLESSINGS and some ornies

we are under a winter snow advisory and it is GORGEOUS outside!!  ***LET ** IT ** SNOW*** ***LET ** IT ** SNOW*** ***LET ** IT ** SNOW***  YEAH! YIPPEE!
What do you do with old xmas cards too cute to throw away?  ORNIES!
I have an artist holiday shopping adventure to be in thursday night so thought I would make some more of my microscope ornaments.  Love using up old cards and scrap paper to make these. 

After cuttin old cards up and words and using my xmas stash of scrapbook papers these are what I have. 

The bling on them is some little gems attached with a jump ring to the hangers and some pretty ribbons.


Some I soldiered the edges but really like the brass color from the copper tape so just burnished the edges really good and didnt soldier. 

Oh this is my newest bread pudding I came up with the other day.  Cinna-bun bread pudding complete with a cinnamony glaze.   I did add some plumped up raisins too.




And here are a few of the assorted boxes of cookies I took to my shows this weekend.
They turned out so cute! and all sold too.  YEAH!




I had bought a bunch of these adorable primitive to from tags last year after the holidays and just added some scrap paper behind and attached them to a cardstock tag.    they looked great!
Here's some closeups of the microscope slide ornies.

Just love the snowmen on these papers and also I used a bit of TIM HOLTZ's distressing inks to the edges.


Used some of my JUST RITE word stamps.


Hope yall have a wonderful winter monday!!   I am off to head over to the kitchen and make some toffee and peanut brittle for my sale thurs night. 
Enjoy!!

holiday cookies

Let the holiday cookie baking begin!!! My favorite holiday thing to make!! I should have been employed by Keebler!! LOL
So I whipped up some cookies for markets and also made up some gifty boxes and tins up for my shows this weeekend.


My cranberry pecan with lemon cream filling.

No gingerbread men here!!   I scooped out the dough and smoooshed down a tiny bit then baked them out  but  they needed that little "farmgirl bling" so I piped a bit of white icing on each then topped them off with a cinnamon candy.  They smell absolutely divine!!   Winter Gingerbread Cookies!! 

 dressed for the holiday!!
Some chocolate cinnamon rounds sprinlked heavily with powdered sugar. 


I love spritz cookies and did up some almond butter ones complete with the "bling" some asst color nonpariels.


I took some plain ol kraft paper boxes and added some colorful holiday scrapbook papers cut with decor edge scissors and stuffed them with cookies, tied with some pretty ribbons and a cute stamped out tag.  Perfect for gift giving.




White chocolate peppermint fudge! 

Love white choc with peppermints. 

all sliced up and ready for markets

I had some of these little boxes I used for cake truffles and made up a few fudge and peanut butter balls for gifts.

These are known as buckeyes and are one of hubby's favo!!  Creamy smooth peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla dipped in melted milk and semi-sweet chocolate.  YUMMY! 

Packaged some up in bags of 4 for markets

Love the round tags looks like this one I cut off a bit!!  LOL OPPPS!!
