2023 Blue Jeans Week 49

Did some holiday baking, went to lunch with my friends, and did a holiday craft with another friend. It was a good week! Take a look...
Mr J texted me that he had made these swig style gingerbread cookies, and they are so good, that I decided I needed to make them too. They are from Mel's Kitchen Cafe here


My monthly lunch with my friends. Makes me so happy!

We ordered some new king-sized pillows for our bed, and this is how they came....I was a little worried about them expanding, but they did and are great!

Trying a new brownie recipe to take to the church Christmas party. I layered half the brownie mix and then covered it with these peppermint bark squares and then covered it with the rest of the brownie mix. I thought they would be over the top, but they were not too sweet and very yummy! 

 
My cute co-worker invited me to take a Christmas floral display class. It was so fun, and I think what we made turned out pretty awesome! It will look great on my front porch!

Thanks for visiting! Hope all is well with you!!

2023 Blue Jeans Week 48

Behind again...that is kind of my theme lately, but it's all good! We are doing well! 
Fitting in grocery shopping together. It is not Ben's favorite thing, but I appreciate he goes with me!

Loving the Christmas decorations.

Got the Christmas cards done!

I decided even though the kids were gone, we were still going to do our Christmas chain countdown :)

One benefit of being empty nesters is you can wrap all the presents any time you want :) We are all wrapped and ready! Christmas shopping and wrapping done!

Went up to the city on the weekend and went to a yummy Vietnamese cafe for lunch. It was so good!

Thanks for visiting! Hope all is well with you!
