I've been baking up a storm. I made these Peppermint Chocolate cupcakes for a party. I've also made some shortbread cookies, butter tarts, mincemeat tarts, chocolate snowballs and sugar cookies(those are all gone now.)
I made the best by far Pineapple and Coconut fruit cake today too! Go here for the recipe. It tastes amazing! Kind of like a Pina Colada in a fruit cake!
I also whipped up my mixture of Christmas Peach tea! I wish you could all stop by for a sip and some treats!!!

Creative Art Journal Challenge Week #16

For this week please create a card that shows what is your most treasured keepsake
My most treasured keepsake is a statue of Mary's apparition at Lourdes that my parents gave me when I was 8 years old for my Confirmation.
It has always been with me where ever I go.Even though I'm a bit of a fallen away Catholic, I believe that, even in my darkest hour, Mary is always with me.

Creative Art Journal Challenge Week #15

This week's prompt is your parents. We all have different relationships with our parents but they play the most imrtant role in who we are today.
I was blessed to have parents who were the perfect example of 'love'. They married young and raised seven children and both went on to have amazing careers. My mom is still a practicing psychologist.
Although I'm sure that things weren't always perfect - in the presence of their children they always presented a united front.
I know that my mom misses my dad with all of her heart and soul.
(The poem on the tag reads:
All paths lead to you, Wherever I stray. You are my evening star at the end of the day. All paths lead to you wherever I roam. You are the lark song calling me home.)
