Saturday we all headed out to celebrate my Grandmother's 80
th Birthday.....you all remember her from my
Daily Art Stop Apple Fritter post.....We had a wonderful time.....and today
we are getting another snow storm...so you know it will be a White Christmas....and I wouldn't have it any other way.....so today I post some snow shots...and some cookies shots....I
wish you could all come by and share in a hot cocoa and some sweet treats.....
Have a wonderful Holiday Season Everyone!!!!
May you share in the true meaning of this Magical time of year and take a moment to realize all the wonder around you.....
Hugs and Best Wishes....

blueberry and strawberry buttery cutouts....
my brown sugar pressed cookies....I add some nutmeg so they are perfect with a cup of eggnog! I made them into gingerbread men and
Santas.....
of course
Chocolate and coconut cookies...with some added chocolate
ganache...I came up with these on my own....
yummm!
I came up with these too...they don't look that great but who can resist chocolate and peanut butter....
Lime shortbread trees...I think these are one of my favorites too...I love everything with lime....
another recipe I concocted....lol...buttery cookie rounds topped with homemade
dulce de leche...and then topped with
skor toffee pieces...
yummm!!!
oh and I also dabbled with this a bit and made a chocolate cookie dough with chocolate mint
ganache in the middles and mint icing drizzled on top....
Hi Everyone....I started my Holiday decorations this week...and I usually go all out with the totally traditional reds and greens...but this year I decided to do everything a little different...so since I'm dreaming of a White Christmas I decided to go all white and crisp this year...
I took white and black card stock and bent a thin edge on each side first. Then folded 4 interior blocks exact in size minus the thin edges that will re-enforce the forms...I then glued these together with double sided tape....cut them to make some varying heights and then embellished them.....
to embellish I added windows using stickles...glitter glue...and these are so pretty at night....tomorrow I will add some lights behind the feather snow scape and it will come to life even more....
I even added my statue of Liberty .....so even though I love living out in wonderful spacious land...I still enjoy the city...and this scene reminds me of New York at Christmas....
I wish these would turn out like they look in real life...the little city scape is so so cute and these photos just don't do it justice....I am submitting these to Theme Thursday....the theme this week is Christmas Holiday Creations and this is what I worked on and wanted to share with you....
