Then this afternoon I made the Voluptuous Coconut Macaroons. I hadn't made them for a couple of years and forgot that the baking time in the original recipe was off. It said 20 minutes but after almost burning the first batch I found that they are done after 10 minutes.
Last night I finished decorating my main tree in the Living Room
and today I finished decorating my Nutcracker Tree and got my Shepherd's Bush 2000 Years Ago tree in position and all lighted up.
I have most of my decorating done now - just few bits and pieces to put into place. And once I have made my Butter Tart Squares all the baking will be done. Yippee!!!
After I finished posting here, I will go back to stitching on another one of my 2011 Crazy January Challenge starts - Believe Tree by Mary McLenon (M Designs). I will post a picture of my progress tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by and for all your lovely comments. I enjoy reading them.
Take care and happy stitching!!!!
Beautiful trees & yummy looking cookies! Blessings, Shirlee
