...the old 'baking' excuse!

This past weekend was "The Crews' " annual Cookie Baking!

Four Days of just hanging (with the excuse of baking) with three of the best friends a girl could possibly ask for!    What better present could you ever give to YOURSELF in the MIDDLE of the crazy HOLIDAY season than that?  ...and the cherry on top of it all?  The MANY 'taste-testers' that went out of their way to stop in and wish us MERRY CHRISTMAS with the excuse of getting COOKIES (some traveled close to 200 miles from the neighboring state of Ohio!!)

 ...and while I was away... 

 TWEED had a few friends in for a little party!  

Has anybody figured out how TWEED got his name?  I think  there may be a 'giveaway' for the first correct answer ;-) ! 

 One of my 'stocking-stuffers' to each of The Crew this year was a personalized Dominoe necklace that I've been working on for a while.  A 'memory~collage' of sorts on the front, and the dots on the back refer to their Power Name # ~ Soul # ~ Life Path # vibrations (Taken from Glynis McCants book on NUMEROLOGY).  I think that they turned out kinda cool, and it was a lot of fun.  I included a sheet that gave a description of each of the 'vibrations' - a 'Fortune Cookie' of sorts 8-).

I've been sporting my 'PINTEREST' inspired, MADE IN USA, 'Ode to the Broken Ornament' earrings...  loving them this Holiday Season!  

Now that Christmas is just one week away, the ETSY shop is closed & the Ebay auctions have all ended (no 'real' time left for shipping, so we've called it QUITS for this season!), baking is DONE, 'some' of the shopping is finished... time to ENJOY - HOPE YOU ARE DOING THE SAME!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!
