Cookies they left for Santa. Didn't have a lot of time to make homemade cookies as we were headed for Florida so used some that were given to us by neighbors and friends:
The cupcake craze continues at our house...these cuties were knitted and actually little purses. Pattern purchased from a talented lady at Etsy - can't recall her name right now but you can do a search for knitted cupcakes and am sure her shop will come up. I changed the pattern a bit to make the chocolate base higher and added a few more rows for the top part.
These are mini cupcake purses, about 3" x 4" and come with intricately detailed mini matching cupcake notecards. I sold these at a craft fair - expected them to just sit there but the tween girls loved them.
The next images are more paper purses except these hold matching necklace and earrings made by my Mom. The jewels are in a handmade card. Most of the patterned papers used are Amy Butler and also SU! Designer papers.
Ignore the bad lighting...these are batches of assorted scones. I finally learned how to make scones for EATING and not for HOCKEY playing :-)!! My Mom's recipe is the best and these are really tender and not very sweet. I used chopped up leftover chocolate candy bars (believe it or not, we have leftover chocolate candy bars from Halloween - unwrapped them all and froze them for future baking use!) and chopped dried cherries and dried cranberries. My kids have been eating a scone a day for breakfast since returning from our Florida trip. Sure makes for an easy breakfast!
