Baking Time!

Guess what I'm going to be doing much of the day? Baking! Baking! Baking! First, I'm going to run to the store and clean them out of sugar, chocolate and pecans...then the baking will commence!

These are the goody boxes I made last year...

...snow balls, fudge, peanut brittle and pecan thumbprints, oh my! My neighbors love me! ;)

To preserve these sweet memories I put together this scrapbook page with Doodlebug's Home for the Holidays collection along with a handful of snowflake die cuts.

This year I plan on making the pecan (snow) balls again, sugar cookies and something new, lace cookies, a recipe I discovered on Pinterest.

Tomorrow we have family visiting so I'll be baking for them too.

Ahhhh....it's the most wonderful sugar-filled time of year! 

Baby it's Cold Outside!

Is it cold outside or what? Even Florida is experiencing below normal temperatures. Here in North Carolina we've been below normal for days and there's no end in sight. It only got a couple degrees above freezing today! Where are you and how cold is it there? Well, cold weather means indoor activities like scrapbooking! Here's a page I finished last night. I think I posted my baking adventures with Audrey a couple weeks ago. Well, here's the page. Great memories!

I also had a chance to make this simple Valentine card last night. I really like my Silhouette! The die cuts you can make are so fun! If you are thinking of a die cutter, I highly recommend the Silhouette!

So what do you like to do when the weather is a bit frightening outside? Have you been making Valentine cards or crafts? I'll have to go blog visiting and see what's going on your way. If you're reading this, leave me a comment with your blog address so I can go check it out!
