Another great CHRISTmas gift

I came across this and thought I would share . . . Sugar Body Scrubs!!!

Would this not be a great gift for your daughter to give to her friends (even her Teacher or Sunday School Teacher)this CHRISTMAS!?! Oh, you could even give it to your girlfriends. . . it looks SUPER EASY, plus very inexpensive.

Christmas Gifts from the Kitchen

Here is an idea that has been tossing around in my head that I wanted to share with you.

Every CHRISTmas the girls and I bake cookies for my husband to take to his work. We make little cookie bags, filled with a dozen for each one of his employees. Along with a sample tray to go onto the break room table. We do one main cookie and then on the sample tray we put that cookie along with cheese straws & fudge. This year I am thinking about making mini bunt cakes instead of cookies. Doing 3 min cakes per bag/box. Then for the tray do mini cupcake's of the same three mini bunt cakes, along with the cheese straws and fudge. So here are the the recipes we are leaning towards:

Chocolate Velvet "Pound Cake"

Zesty Lemon Pound Cake

Mini Raspberry Snow Cakes

I should also add that we make enough for the mail women, piano teacher, and a few of our neighbors. So tell me what you will be baking this coming CHRISTmas, or if you have a recipe: PLEASE share.

Blessings,

All your children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of your children. Isaiah 54:13
