Giveaway Gifts from Mary and a 1st Birthday!


 Recently I was one of  the recipients of Mary's Halloween giveaway.  Mary blogs at Home Is Where The Boat Is, and she always amazes me with her creativity, inspiration, kindness, and generosity.  



 Mary was so sweet to include my granddaughter, Cissy, who comes to bake with me  every week.  I waited until Cissy came over so that she could do the honors of opening the box.


 Look at all these Halloween baking goodies that we won! Included in the box were two tea towels, cookie stamps, a Jack-O-Lantern cookie cutter, 48 cupcake cases, and 24 assorted toppers, a spatula, and a container of Halloween sprinkles.  Cissy and I were thrilled!!!!  Mary wrote the sweetest note to Cissy and I, and signed it, "Happy Baking!  XO, Mary, Gracie and Lola".  Gracie and Lola are Mary's two adorable pups.

 Since we needed to get to one of Cissy's brother's football games, we made a quick treat of Halloween Bark, and added the Halloween sprinkles.  Who doesn't love to lick the spatula??

Here' s Cissy with her bag of Halloween Bark to take home to her family.  Thank you so very much, Mary, you are so kind, thoughtful and generous! 

 My youngest grandchild, Hayden, celebrated her first birthday!!


Here's adorable Hayden, who is the sweetest, most pleasant baby ever!  I made her this outfit, which looked so precious on her.  I think she likes her cake, don't you?

I'm off to be with my dear mom, who's health is failing, and I may be gone for awhile.    Please say prayers for her during this time.  Love to all, and God bless you!

Thank you for your visit!  xo
