So getting a gift from S wasn't unexpected.......but her saying "you need to open it now as you might want it before christmas" was.
Inside the pretty paper was a beautiful mixing bowl......and a bag of stollen mix......we both laughed......because we knew why she'd bought it.
The previous evening we'd both been at a christmas quiz.......'what type of food is stollen?' asked one of the questions.......we both thought it was cake.....but another member of our table was very sure it was bread.
Seems like we were right.......and now I'll be able to find out what it tastes like!!

Great layout, I like stollen but have never tried to make it, normally just buy it.

I have to agree with Rinda, you have done a fantastic job of creating so many layouts this month - looks like all that prep you did has paid off!
What a lovely gift - I love Stollen! I love getting together with friends for a creative catch up.
And it made for a great Christmas Journal page. I love stollen, but I haven't made it in years as my husband is not a fan!
Oh is today the unexpected gift prompt!!? I'm so far behind and you have done so well at keeping up Jacky! Love how your album is looking!
I've never tried baking stollen...love the bowl the mix came in! Your LO is lovely!
