It's a Birthday!

IT IS A BIRTHDAY PARTY AND THE THEME IS PINK!!!!!!..............................................

The candles are already blown out on the yummy strawberry cake with fluffy butter-cream frosting.....

What is a party without ice-cream?  Strawberry-Cheesecake ice-cream to be exact......

Oh, did I mention the sweet vintage birthday card and the lollipop and last but not least...the  Hershey Bar?!

What a huge party....well, maybe huge is not the right word!

                 I just listed this birthday board along with a few other new creation on my CDHM gallery!

Merry Christmas!

 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.    
                                                                God Bless you, Kim

Charlie Brown and Christmas Minis....

I finished up my last Christmas mini as I watched one of  my Christmas favorites, Charlie Brown's Christmas...gotta love Charlie Brown! I have already watched It's a Wonderful Life and I hope I have time to get in a few more before Christmas (HAVE to watch A Christmas Story!) What are some of your Christmas favorites?   Anyway, here is are a few pics of what my daughter and I made for a friend, I thought I would show you before we wrap it up!

Chicken Soup for the Soul.......

As we come to the middle of Advent I present you with another quote and another mini....  

 

First the quote......

  "Advent is a time of waiting. Our whole life, however, is Advent -- that is, a time of waiting for the Ultimate."
--Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Now the mini.....chicken noodle soup...

 Carrots, chicken celery and noodles....great for a cold day in Iowa!

May we in this busy time of year, take the time to slow down and turn our eyes and hearts to the reason for the season, may we turn our eyes toward the Ultimate.

                                                                       Mini Blessings, Kim

                                                                

Advent........

I thought I would give you a cake and a quote  for the beginning of Advent....!

The quote-

"A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes....and is completely dependent on the fact that the door of freedom has to be opened  from the outside, is not a bad picture of Advent." Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1943.....

The cake-


                             Chocolate Marble Cake with chocolate glaze..........

                                         

                         May yours eyes be on the "opener of your prison cell" this Advent season !  
                                                                       Mini Blessings, Kim      

Christmas Confetti Cake

I guess it is time for a little bit of  Christmas.....(even though I am still full from yesterday's Thanksgiving turkey!)  I just listed this on my CDHM gallery, red and green  Christmas Confetti Cake......

 drizzled with white glaze....

and filled with little Christmas tree candies!

Blessing to you all!.....Kim

Happy Thanksgiving!

I will enter His courts with thanksgiving in my heart, I will enter His gates with praise, I will say this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice for He has made me glad!   Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Strawberry-Chocolate Ripple!

Ice Cream Stop By Shel Silverstein 

The circus train made an ice cream stop
At the fifty-two flavor ice cream stand.
The animals all got off the train
And walked right up to the ice cream man.
“I’ll take Vanilla,” yelled the gorilla.
“I’ll take Chocolate,” shouted the ocelot.
“I’ll take Strawberry,” chirped the canary.
“Rocky Road,” croaked the toad
“Lemon and Lime,” growled the lion.
Said the ice cream man, “Til I see a dime,
You’ll get no ice cream of mine.”
Then the animals snarled and screeched and growled
And whinnied and whimpered and hooted and howled
And gobbled up the whole ice cream stand,
All fifty-two flavors
(fifty-three with the ice cream man).

I would like three scoops of Strawberry-Chocolate Ripple please...

How about a cherry for the top?

  Some animal cookies would go so well with the ice cream....

Thanks for checking our my creations!  Mini Blessings, Kim

Bakin' Bread

Bread, bread and more bread!  I love to make bread, especially this bread, it is gluten free, sugar free and calorie free!  (I can dream)  Anyway, this bread is making it's way to the east coast tomorrow.  Hope you like it because I liked making it!  I will leave you with a bread quote (I have no idea who the author is...sorry)   "Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new."
