I had this layered candle I had used in a Thanksgiving centerpiece last year, wanted to use it again but thought it needed to be dressed up some. I put a wide piece of brown ribbon around the middle, added a smaller leaf print ribbon then attached some cutout leaves I had stamped using Hero Arts Leaf Prints. I also added some toned striped ribbon at the top and bottom. I am also uploading a photo of the candle in the centerpiece.
Had my monthly Weigh In with the Wannabees on Wednesday and wasn't happy, back to counting carbs as I am diabetic. Since DH and I are both diabetic, I don't do much baking but saw this recipe somewhere that sounded easy and good. I plan to make a half batch and give some away or freeze for when I need a snack for guests. I love pumpkin and spices so these should be good.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies- 5 dozen2 boxes of spice cake mix
1 stick of butter, softened
2 eggs
1 large can of Libby's pumpkin
2 cups of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. mix ingredients and scoop spoonfuls of pumpkin batter onto greased cookie sheets. bake for 13 minutes. Let cookies cool on wire racks. Serve them warm with tall glasses of milk!
Now it is time to think about Christmas and all the events leading up to that happy time. Will post some Christmas cards I have made in a later post. I usually put my tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving but still don't have it up-planning on this weekend.
