Christmas Baking and Cards
Hurray for Friday! Having just worked the past two weekends, I get this weekend off, and guess what I’m going to do? Christmas baking and cards. Have you started yours yet? Do you have baking or cooking traditions? Every year I HAVE to make cherry balls, melting moments, decorated shortbreads, peanut brittle, and rice crispie balls. Most go back to my childhood days. Tell me what you like to bake and cook.

I love to BAKE! I switch it up every year! As a kid I loved making stain glass cookies and peanut butter balls with my Aunt! YUMMY!
Have a wonderful FUN weekend!
My mom, my sister and I are baking this Sunday as well. Sugar cookies always top the list! My mom has the best recipe for them! Oatmeal cookies, Peanut butter Kisses and Shortbread will follow. I just finished writing out my ‘store-bought’ Christmas cards yesterday. We’ll see if time allows to hand make a few.
We love baking gingerbread, shortbread and chocolate truffles. Mmmmm.
Well Ms. Beth I will be joining you I am making fruitcake this week-end and probably some Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies by the way that card is simply adorable love every detail of it.
Happy baking
Hugs
Beth, I grew up making TONS of homemade cookies — all year round. Then I became a Mom and I had all of these great illusions of baking homemade cookies with my daughter. Then one day I realized that she thought baking cookies required a knife…(slice and bake). How I have failed her! At least we always bake cookies at my Mom’s house on Christmas Eve!
Love your card, what a darling image — you colored it beautifully and I love your layout!

Love this card. Your image is so beautifully colored.
I love to bake sugar cookies. When my kids were little they would help me cut out the different shapes. And then we would add frosting and sprinkles. Wonderful memories.. messy memories… but wonderful!! lol
What a beautiful card Beth! Your image is adorable and I love your colors!!!
I use to love baking cookies for Christmas, but now days I usually end up ordering cookies instead. I know it sounds sad, but I don’t have the time or the energy to sit and decorate like I use to years ago:)
Gorgeous card Beth!! I’m with ya on most of what you mentioned…I love cherry balls….I also make homemade turtles….and white choc almond bark……Hugs, Ila
I want this one! I would frame it and hang it all year long. Kara
Fantastic looking card. A lot of work must have went into making it.
