Season's Greetings

We'd like to wish all our friends, family, and readers a very Merry Christmas 
and a healthy and happy New Year!

Christmas Fruitcake

Not your typical fruitcake!  Richly dense and moist, made with apricots, pecans, dates, golden raisins, and topped with delicious marzipan.  This recipe was given to Anita by her good friend, Marie, who has been making it since her high school days.  It's the fruitcake that converted both of us into fruitcake lovers!  
Finally, a fruitcake you can get excited about! 

Christmas cookie platters now available!  

Includes an assortment of our signature cookies: Caramel-Pecan, Lemon-Poppy Seed, Chocolate-Pecan Shortbread Logs, Cocoa Butter Balls and Tea Cakes.  
Available in small or large platters.

Thanks!

Thank you to all who visited us at the Poinsettia Tea and who helped to make our first bake sale a huge success! It was great fun! We hope you enjoy your goodies :)

Craft & Bake Sale

Getting ready for our church's annual Christmas craft and bake sale this weekend! We're very busy, baking up a storm!  Here are some cards that Tania made that will add some Christmas spirit to our table :)

                                         Something fun:

All supplies CTMH: Grey Wool ink; Stamp Sets: Snow Friends, A Little Thanks; watercolour pencils; waterbrush; Fun Flock; glitter; cs: Twilight, White Daisy.

Something cozy: I love how this CTMH stamp set screams coziness.  It's hard to see in the photo, but the wine velvet paper adds a soft and cozy feel, as does the Fun Flock/snow.

 

Stamp set: CTMH Snow Days; CTMH watercolour brush and pencils: CTMH Fun Flock; wine velvet paper from sei; gold ribbon and green cs from my stash.

I was trying to achieve a stained glass look with the following two cards, so I decided to heat emboss the images and colour them in (wish I had Copics!) and finish them off with Liquid Glass.

Stamp set: CTMH Gloria; CTMH watercolour brush and pencils; CTMH Kraft cs; CTMH Liquid Glass; Versamark watermark stamp pad; Stampendous blk embossing powder; cs from my stash.
