ooooey gooooey!

Maelie and I worked on a baking project today!



Ooooey gooey cinnamon buns! Extra unhealthy version! hahaha Hence why these will be brought to work and not left on our counter for little chidren and husbands to eat!!



I don't know what it is with the months of November and December... i just want to stay home and bake all the time and then give my baking away! It's the festive air I think!

Sunday morning baking



Maelie and I started off the day baking some candy cane cookies! She was up by 6:00, so I immediately took out the mixer! By 6:30 we were rolling the dough.



Maelie had a harder time making the candy canes, so I had her make candy shaped cookies instead.



She added he little touch to some of them... a heart for Mommy with an M, a heart for Daddy with a D, and one for herself with an M.



This is how many we were able to make



They passed the taste test!!

Sneak peak - Christmas card workshop

Tomorrow Natalie and I are hosting our Christmas card workshop at my house. Other than frantically trying to clean up the place, I managed to make a few treats. Here is a sneak peak....




Do you think a group of ladies will notice the dust and dirt if there are chocolate covered cherries around?? *cross my fingers* i hope they don't...

Advent calendar

This is something I never thought I would be able to accomplish!! but thanks to Natalie, here it is:



Maelie is ECSTATIC and she cannot wait 'til December 1st!!! When I presented it to her, she was speechless with her mouth open for a bit! and that was followed by a huge hug and a "thank you mommy!"

A snowman one!

I thought it was time I make a snowman card.



I have a workshop at lunchtime today with colleagues from work. Since there will be about 8 people, I had to make sure it was simple enough. Not because they can't handle it, but mainly because we are doing this on our lunch hour. When there is only 1 of each kind of tool, it takes a while to go around!! So hopefully they will like it! The picture actually doesn't do it justice. In person it just glitters ! I love it!
