I have decided on making cookies (fun and festive) for EVERYONE this christmas. I got some great recipies in a mag for making sugarrolls and peanutbutter/krisp squares and some coconut bites. Sounds great, so I am going to try them out over the weekend and have DH "test" them before making lots of them. Pack them in a plastic container and wrap them.
Also tomorrow dd and I are making our own wrapping paper. Yes, I am going to let my 10 month old paint the paper and we are going to have LOADS of fun. I'll help too, just to make sure that not all the paint ends up on her and nothing on the paper. I was thinking about painting her feet and having her walk accross the paper. Should be interesting.
The jars I am going to fill with sweets and paint the lids, put a string around and hand them out to my kitchen staff at the shop and to my workshop staff at the office. I'll also keep some handy just for in case.
Was looking into making jam, but (ROFL) not really my kind of thing Was reading up on making some apricot jam, but sounds like way to much work - hahaha. Had thought about making vanillia sugar or crystalised citrus peel - hmmmmm *ponder-ponder*
The earing frames sounds very cool, you must post a picture on the gallary so we can see your handywork. Also next christmas is only a year away
