Peppermint Bark


I have three little people under me as I stir melting chocolate. I can feel their staring eyes burning a hole in my back. I pretend they aren't there, and pour the chocolate into the cookie sheet. They are waiting, just waiting to pounce on the chocolate as soon as I step away. I can tell this will be one batch of candy I will have to guard with my life or it won't make it to the handmade candy gift baskets!

crayon holders




Okay, so I know it's basic stuff, but I'm still beaming with pride! Crayon holders for my nieces! I'm soooo in the handmade zone these days. I thought I'd throw in a couple of handmade gifts with the others that we have bought. I can't add them to my 3 "darling little ones" presents for Christmas, since they have been circling around me as I sew, but I will make them a couple to throw in the car travel bag for those long boring drives!
