DD2 and I spent most of one day with the last minute preparations for christmas.........and a lot of that was baking.
Amongst other things we made stollen for the first time [shhhhhh....we weren't actually too keen on it]........and although we always make semolina biscuits.....this year we made them into a star tree......which went down very well on Christmas Day......along with the mars bar trifle.......with those who don't like christmas pudding.
And some greenery was picked from the garden to make some floral decorations.......that I hope will last through to New Year.

Your layouts are GORGEOUS Jacky - what a shame you didn't like the stohllen after all that effort - send it my way as I DO like a bit every now and then!
Happy New Year

Shh..I don't really like it either. I think it's a bit dry to be honest!
I'm loving your festive layouts this year. They totally capture Christmas
Hi Jacky. I love looking through your blog. I couldn't afford to join in with Shimelle's challenge but now Xmas is over I will start to get back into scrapbooking and may follow some of your ideas for pages.
Off to look at more of your pages. x
Really wonderful layouts Jacky, and your baking looks delicious.
Happy crafting

Impressive stuff Jacky, I'm toying with the idea of learning to bake in 2012....I'm hoping because I have a sweet tooth I will be more enthusiastic than with the learning to cook thing lol xxx
Sian is so right, your layout exude the Christmas feeling! And I love that star tree made from biscuits. I'm filing that idea away for next year!
Mars bars trifle sounds super yummy!
