Get Your Bake On!!

Today is the 20th of December and I'm so out of sorts when it comes to my baking.. I haven't made pumpkin rolls, or cookies, or breads or any homemade anything. I'm so bummed . These things  are  my gifts for my neighbors and friends.-ugh. I'm usually done by now , and the house is done too and ready for Christmas. How did I get so behind. This is not like me!!!

Please someone send a "Whiff Kick" my way- please. I did get the trees decorated and I even have my first gift under it...Wait that's the dog!!!

This year I did a Holiday Craft Show and made alot of Christmas cards and holders. But I've yet to get my own cards sent. Shame on me. One of favorite times of the year and I'm blowing it.

I will be attending "Christmas Tea" on Tuesday so maybe that will give me a nudge to get going.

Well anyway I do have one thing I made. I would like to share the recipe with you all.  They are "Chocolate Cookie Balls" and they taste like a "Ho-Ho" if your familiar with the cake thingy. They are very messy to make but fun to eat-only a few they are very rich!!



Ok, I'm done here I'm moving over to my craft blog. Check me out and what I'm doing over there. www.kardkreationsbyjoyce.blogspot.com
Thanks for stopping by and to all my friends "Happy Holidays" . And don't forget the "Full Solar Eclipse Tonight. The last time this was here was in "Galileo's time". So be a stargazer I think the full Eclipse is 3:17am tonite EST. I'll be there from the beginning. Don't forget your Camera. I don't take good night pictures but I'm gonna try anyway... Bye for now, Joyce



This little Piggy had a Garden...

And the Gardener ignored the little piggy. She had gotten so busy and procrastinated with  taken care of everybody else's needs. And so the little piggy ran and hid under her big Hosta. The Gardener thought her little piggy got throw away and was very sad that she hadn't paid him any attention. She thought she hadn't  seen him around in the garden. And that's because she was off doing other garden areas.

And then one morning in August the temperatures dropped and there  wasn't any humidity to speak of. Mean-time the gardener was disgusted with her messy gardens! And was envious of those who had such nice clean gardens! Over time she had  carefully planned this garden, it was her first in the new place. She worked her gardens always by herself with the little piggy near by. But  it got to be too much for the Little  Piggy, and he too was disgusted and didn't want any part of the garden any longer.

So she thought and thought and she shut off her Computer and went outside. She wasn't worried about the inside chores they would come later.  So off she went with her 'Blue Garden Crocs'  and tools in hand and of course her camera. Before she knew it she had weeded those awful messy gardens and low and behold there was her friend waiting for her underneath the big Fat Hosta with a big fat grin!!

The moral of this story is: " That no matter how messy your gardens are your friends will be there waiting  for you!!!
