Snowmen, Angels, and Santa Clauses

Snowmen

I made a snowman cupcake today so I feel like I accomplished something because it's new:) I love making new things and this one is especially fun to me because it is my first cupcake in a foil wrapper. The way this photo was taken you can't see it but you can in the next.

See the foil peeking out? Any more sideways and my gingerbread would look like a brick so that's as low as we get! I just absolutely love Christmas sweets! I do plan on continuing adding to the new Christmas items all year round as I hadn't anticipated how busy I'd be this year. This little mini tree is sitting in a pink striped tray I sell in the store. The reason I wanted to share this with you is because though I haven't changed all of the photos, all of the trays and displays with a hole to hold items like lollipops and cookies on a stick have been expanded by about 1/16 of an inch. That measurement isn't much but I also recently changed sticks I place my candy on and the new one's were too crowded to be happy. Their very comfy now. If you've purchased these from me in the past year and would like the size increased on yours please email me so I can keep record. Let's see Angels now.

Angels

 

The one wrapped up on the left is the angel, not the one on the right (wink wink) The one on the right is my son Brent, the proud daddy and US Marine (I'm so proud of him and grateful he's serving our country have to throw that in there when I can)

This angels name is Naomi Kay Madere and she was born 12/3 at 11:39am. Naomi weighed 9lbs & .28 oz, she's 22 inches long and healthy and happy. Look at her cheeks! Little sweetie muffin. I always name kidlets nicknames and I'll pick one for her when I know it:) Her daddy loves his first baby girl, and I love my first grand baby. We are going to spoil her!!! I've not seen her yet, they're in North Carolina and I hope to get there as soon as I can. Family issues here prevent me from going too far from home at this time, but I'll sneak away as soon as I possibly can and hold this girl:) Looking at this angel makes me want to collect babies like Angelina Jolie. How could you not? So sweet! Ok Santa Claus time...

Santa Clauses

We so hit the thrift store today! I loved everything I bought while browsing and discussing that show about hoarders. What? Most of it is LITTLE, and CHRISTMAS! And 25cents each! I love Christmas:) I found a mini dollhouse, and some funky retro santas and some old Hallmark ornaments oh and a Rudolph (but someone nabbed his nose so I'll have to fix that...) You know, just stuff... I think if you read this far I will just go ahead and add one more photo of the first snow we had this year oh and it sure would be nice if it were the last:)

The Fairy house out on the farm

Remember when I posted this last Spring? Nice and warm and sunny and beautiful? Now I think our fairy is on vacation in Florida because her front yard is a wreck and I didn't see any glitter anywhere. So I'm guessing I'm not the only one who doesn't care for snow. I've said enough I think, so thank you for following my blog, thank you for reading, and I do hope I see you again, and you'll stop and post a hello!

Thanks! Cathy McGhee

Oh those cheeks! She is so very beautiful Cathy- I bet you are just bouncing in your seat waiting to go meet her in person. I am so very happy for you and her parents- what a proud Daddy! My thanks to him for serving for us and protecting all of here in the US. I hope he hears that from lots of people. The snowman cupcake is adorable! I don't much care for the cold weather either- wish I was down there in Florida with that fairy :) January is the worst here though, so I will try not to complain too much yet. Hope you have a wonderful week!!!
