Been at it again

I just finished putting together the hot cocoa kits. Yesterday I made the mix & this morning I made the milk chocolate spoons to stir the yummyness with. I plan on giving these sets to neighbors, friends & the gals at the office as a lil sumthin fun for Christmas.

We had a small glass yesterday & it was yummy but today I made myself a cup & used one of those spoons & holy beans!! Total fantasticness!! Those spoons kick all sorts of arse! Ahhh I love having a double boiler for such tasks. Next week it will be put to work big time! Peanut butter balls will be made, chocolate covered pretzels & rods, peanut butter cups & turtles.

Last night my brother Joe called to see if I would be able to & interested in painting up some lightbulb ornies for him to give to his fellow bakery workers for Christmas. So last night I took my supplies downstairs (my craft room is a complete disater!!) and began painting. So we have 6 snowmen & 6 Santas all ready to go. Tonight I will make the few necklaces I need to finish & box them up. Tomorrow finishing picking up & tidying will be done around the house. Thanksgiving dinner is at our house. I think we're ready....LOL

If I don't post before Thursday have a safe & Happy Thanksgiving. A word to the wise if I may....ELASTIC pants!!!

My Current Addiction Takes Over

Ok, so I have a bit of an addiction with lightbulbs now!!! I went out & bought 6 packs of them tonight. So don't be surprised if one finds it's way into your home!! Cuz honestly...what in the heckles would I do with this many lightbulb ornies? I had a few people tell me I should sell them...I dunno. The vote hasn't been tallied for that one yet.

Ok, onto some pics now!! =)




The Santa's are not finished & only one of the snowmen is. But remember, I'm impatient at times & had ta take a photo!!

And here's Bacon the pig!!

Mr Mooooove over bacon!!

I can't wait till tomorrow to make more...perhaps a nutcracker, or Christmas Tree, orr a rooster!! who knows. I have just a few hours before the sun comes up to dream up some ideas.

A Bright Idea!

I cannot even WAIT to show you what I'm going to do with these!! Hopefully tomorrow...

All these lightbulbs were replaced with energy effecient bulbs. It really seems like we are both getting more into conserving energy & not wasteing and using natural resources. We would LOVE to put some solar panels on our house. But that will have to wait. Perhaps those new bulbs will pay for some panels with the savings!!!

I was talking to my neighbor today about how much Ken & I are changing the older we get. Like we actually give a care. I could not throw these perfectly fine bulbs in the garbage & know of noone who could use them....sooo stay tuned!!! =)
