LET THEM ALL EAT CAKE...CHRISTMAS CAKE THAT IS!

CAKE YUMMY!

I don't know about you, but I love cake! I found these beautiful cakes for the holidays, and wanted to share them with you. I am being very good this Christmas, (hint, hint Santa!), and trying to watch my calorie and fat intake...sigh! So, I thought I would just look...

Can you imagine how wonderful this would taste with a hot cup of coffee? Love the all white with the sugar glitter and white chocolate snowflakes.

This is such an awesome cake, the red and white candy cane theme is so pretty and festive.This one is so elegant, perfect for a special party with my best girlfriends. (Victoria, see what we could be eating together this year???), guess I will just have to settle for a sweet thought...
This one is just so cute and simple. Cookies glued on with icing, and candies on top, easy and elegant, who wouldn't love having this at their holiday party? Look at this cake! How pretty is this? I would have a really hard time cutting into this one!Another elegant cake, look at all the detail on this pretty one!


This is really cute, a Santa Hat Cake. The only bad thing here is, enough red dye to kill half of the known population in the world!This is a pretty one, roses, pearls, gold leaves and the band around the whole cake is just beautiful!



These are some of my favorites, aren't they cute? Those would be fun to serve to each guest, I guess, they would technically be cupcakes then, huh?We couldn't have a cake post, without the dreaded FRUITCAKE OF DOOM! I have to admit though, this one is a cherry chocolate fruitcake. HUMMM....I think I could be talked into eating this one! What ever you are up to this week, I hope it is sweet, like spending time with your families, baking, shopping, and savoring each and every moment of this magical time of the year!
We are buried under a foot of snow today, I have been spending time with my husband and kids just talking and being together! It forced all of us to slow down and just stay put, which I must say, I have enjoyed immensely! I pray each of you will take the time to just breath during this hectic time, try not to lose sight of what is important, the memories, happiness and joy. It is also a time to reflect on the birth of our Lord and Savior, and the real reason we celebrate at all!
God bless each of you! May the Love of God reign in your hearts this Christmas season...lets all pray for a better, and blessed New Year too! AMEN to that!

DO YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE???

WAS THIS ANGEL EVER SPOKEN OF IN THE BIBLE? YEAH, I DIDN'T THINK SO...
Do any of you out there need a visit from the sidewalk clearing snow angel? I do! We are having a really cold, snowy storm that blew down from Canada. (NO GIRLS THIS IS NOT MY HUSBAND, FOUND THIS ON A FUNNY SNOW WEBSITE!!!)

I think this is what a snow angel REALLY looks like...
Here is a picture of my front yard. I hate snow by the way, I lived in Alaska for 7 yrs. and if I never saw it again, I would be thrilled. Can't wait for it to warm up again, and yes, I can't believe I am saying this...I would rather have it rain!!!!

HOT OFF THE PRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you seen these yet? I saw an ad for these last night, and then went to Costco today and low and behold, they were there, in a two pack! I adore them!!! They make wrapping so easy, and fast...You wear this tape dispenser on your wrist, and you just pull off a perfect piece of tape every time! So simple and easy, I want to kiss whoever came up with this little beauty. If you get one, make sure to put the instructions in with the tape thingy. I would never remember how to load it again if I don't save the instructions.Had to throw in a cute picture of my 16 yr. old son, he looked so great in his Dad's leather jacket, which by the way, is an XXL Tall. He is so big, I can't get over it! 6' 7" and still going..

HOW MANY DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS?????...HELP!!!!!


MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL YOU BLOGGER BUDDIES!!!!!! HOPE YOU HAVE A FABULOUS CHRISTMAS WITH YOUR FAMILIES AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!



How can Christmas be on us sooooo soon? 14 days away??? Did something happen to some of the weeks??? Wasn't it just Thanksgiving??? HELP!!!!!

I don't know about you, but Christmas has broadsided me this year! Just tonight, I got my tree up in my parlor, I know it won't be up that long, but I love the way it looks, all sparkly and festive! Below is a picture of my hall table by the front door, Victoria made the Christmas plate, I just love it with the snowmen, bottle brush trees and my apothecary jar filled with glass balls.

A little Christmas cheer on top of my TV Cabinet, Victoria made the floral arrangement for me last year, I think of her every time I look at it, which is all the time! :) This is my chandelier all done up with snowflakes and stars. The table in my bay window needed something so I changed out my rose painting for the apple topiaries and church on my vintage crystal cake stand, the JOY letters are by Rachel Ashwell, I love how they fit perfectly on my shutters. This is my parlor tree, it is mostly pink, although you can't tell from this picture.


This is my favorite goofy snowman, I collect odd looking snowman, I started doing so, when my boys made the comment that it was the ugliest thing they had ever seen. I had to get him just for that fact! See, he is even pigeon toed! I know it has been a while since I have posted, it has been a rough time in my life these past few months, I've lost track of so many of you and maybe when the holidays are over I can catch up again and visit! I pray you will all have a wonderful time with your families over the next couple of weeks, bless you all!

XOXO,
