Cake/Wood Burning/ Hat / Who I Am

HAHA....was on FB this morning and here is a 

memory that popped up from my days

at the TBI.

I was not only wearing my Santa hat but under

it I had deer antlers. 

Check out that chucky face!

My angel. She adorns my tree every yr.

She came into my life at a sort of 

wicked time for me. 

I was going through a divorce, ex would

not leave the house so we were still living

together and I needed to get out of the house.

With that, I started selling Christmas 

Around the World - House of Lloyds. 

She was in my starter kit to show

as a demo. That was in 1992 and like I 

said, she goes up every Christmas on the 

top of the tree.

When I was selling CATW

I had stickers on each piece so that

the price and all the info was there for

me to go by. Look what is still on 

my angel.

There was also in my kit a clown ornament.

I love clowns!

Same thing...info is still on him.

I think I have pretty much gotten rid

of the rest of my kit. Amber (daughter) has 

most of it now.

I started playing around with my wood burning tool

the other day. I purchased it months ago. 

What better time to start on next yrs ornaments?

Not done with it yet. I might hit one or

two spaces with paint or maybe just 

run some stain over it. 

I love playing with it and yesterday

morning I made this. On a log from

Amber's wedding. Yes, I still have more 

logs to play with! haha

Since I am giving most of my stuff to Amber,

I gave her the log. 

Matter of fact yesterday was her bday.

She turned a whopping 38.

I got up at my normal early hour and baked a 

cake. Let it cool and decorated it for her.

She loves dolphins. 

I drove up, got out of the car and 

tried to light the candles I put on it before

going in the vets office but the candles kept going

out. A sweet postal worker was there and just

dropped off the mail so I went to the door

and he helped me light them again, opening the 

door for me so I could go in singing.

Vet Dr. King (Ambers boss) and another lady

that works there started singing with me. Talk about

surprised! I love it. 

 I felt pretty decent yesterday so later in the day 

after going to the barn to feed I made shortbread

cookies and a toffee. I have never made toffee before

but Pinterest is a great way to get the directions!

Although it called for pecans on the top, I was not 

paying that price so....I topped mine with broken up 

and crushed hazelnut pralines! Probably...it called for

roasting the almonds on the bottom layer....yep, well the

directions had whole almonds and I broke those up too...

and apparently in tiny pieces they don't need to roast 

as long as it called for. Its okay, but those almonds 

are toasted a bit too much.

Taking this and cookies to my brothers house

along with piggy's in a blanket. 

Okay...I just had to share this laugh I got the

other day. I went to McDonalds for breakfast, something

I never do but I was hungry. Sitting there in line

I read, " Better breakfast anyway you crack it"....

then I just so happened to look up and realized

the glass screen was cracked!

haha...its the little things I find to laugh at!

Personally....

I have never given a 

SHIT.

And I love who I fought to become.
