{Baking, Family, Friends and Fun}

Oh my! It's been a month since I have blogged. I honestly have found it hard to keep up but I am blaming on family time! What better explanation could I have huh? Well, maybe BAKING ! Vanilla cake with chocolate sauce filling and cool whip with powdered sugar icing topped with sprinkles.  Chocolate with fresh strawberry filling with buttercream frosting and a touch of candy pearls. Butter cake with buttercream icing and chocolate sauce.   There has been a whole lot of baking going on at my house. I get in these moods at times. Family & friends have enjoyed my gifts of love.

Our family enjoyed watching our granddaughter Adalynn in her first cheer competition. Her team won 1st place.  Our granddaughter Mallory attended her Junior prom and had the best time.

Just a word of WARNING ...lots of pictures but some sweetness happened at Christmas for our family.  I found this sweet picture of a red truck on line and bought the file so I could add my own wording.

Simple tablescape but oh so fun.  It was fun creating this fun tablescape this year and the red truck was actually a cookie jar.  This cute dish sure held a lot of goodies ...

All I know is GOD BLESS HER because I have been in charge of a few of these on a much smaller scale in the past and I can assure you it's a great undertaking. Stephanie does it with grace and I am so thankful for her.  https://theenchantingrose.blogspot.com/ I was so surprised by when my ornament arrived with other goodies from Denise Painter from  http://daneesey.blogspot.com/ Not only did she peg me out with the ornament that fits my kitchen theme this season but also lovely dish towels that I could not have hand picked them any better! AMAZING at how the colors and style went right along with my theme this year for my kitchen.   I absolutley love the snow flake. Aren't these dis h towels the cut est? And they go so well with my Red truck dish towel .  Yummy teas and oh t...
