My 2nd Baking Orders

Hi!  Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  We had . . . though everyone at home was so tired and needed some rest, we were glad that guests arrived to spread Christmas cheer in our home.  We didn't have a Christmas party at home like last year for numerous and legitimate reasons and thus we weren't expecting much merriment this Christmas.  Thank God, relatives from abroad came home and dropped by and a dozen came who serenaded us with beautiful Christmas carols warming our humble home. =)

Anyway,  I would like to share with you one of the reasons why I felt so tired but fulfilled this Christmas.  I had my 2nd set of baking orders.  They were of more Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies and 3 orders of my 4-Flavored Junior Cheesecake  . . .  all for Christmas Eve.  Below are the photos of my Junior Cheesecake - all packaged, wrapped and delivered:

"Angel" & "One Week Old" LOs for Kaboodle Doodles Challenge #99: Angels/Fairies

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Kaboodle Doodles Challenge #99 is "Angels or Fairies".  You could submit any project as long as it fits the challenge theme.  Winner to be drawn randomly with sponsor prize of 2 images from Jellypark Tues, Jan. 3, 2012 at US timezone.  Participants have until Sun., Jan. 1, 2012 to link their entries at the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog.

Some that I know of when we were kids used to wonder why the New Year is depicted by a baby.  I guess by now as we've aged and grew older, we now know why a graphic image of a baby symbolizes the New Year.  Thus, for this week's challenge which will end on New Year's Day, I decided to scrap a photo of me when I was still a baby, to be precise when I was one week old.  I guess not old enough to be able to walk about yet.  The other LO was scrapped to comply with the 1st challenge choice requirement which is an angel for the Christmas school programme.

SUPPLIES: Paper: Bo Bunny, Star Paper Corp., Alphabets: All About Scrapbooking, Die Cut Angel: Ling Designs, Digi Image: Jelly Park’s “Teenage Girl”, Stickers: Bo Bunny, Thread: DMC, Journaling Pen: Parker, Acrylic Stamps: Mary Engielbreit, Studio 18, Pigment Ink: Studio G, Other: Ribbon.
