The Holidays are Here!

Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is just around the corner. On Monday and Tuesday, I made some new jams - Gooseberry, Gooseberry with Walnuts, Blueberry, and Strawberry Rhubarb. I plan on making Jalapeno Pepper Jelly this weekend. I get to use some more of my new jars. I got new jars that hold the same amount of jam but they are taller that the ones that I was using to begin with.

It sounds like the weather is not going to be very nice. We are supposed to have freezing rain Friday and Saturday.

Yesterday and today I have been baking and decorating cookies. I made Santas, Gingerbreadmen, Christmas Trees, Stockings and Snowmen. Now I'm letting them dry so I can pack them in the boxes tomorrow and finish decorating another order of just Santas. I got 2 new cookie cutters this year. I am always getting any new cookie cutters that I run across and like. I found an Elf Hat and a Mitten. I will make a variety of the shapes for the Annual Craft Show next week that is to be held on Thursday.

I got my first boxes shipped to Tammy Munson for the Troops out this week. It felt so good to send them to her. I hope that they like them.

I will start doing better on the posting of my blog from now on.
