I know there are many last-minute shoppers . . . but essentially if we want merchandise delivered by Christmas, it makes sense to have that completed.
This time of the year, the weather can sometimes be strange and we’ve had fires in California which affected delivery of on-line orders.
We do need to think ahead . . . and also be mindful of the safety of those delivering our merchandise.
I’m just as happy to receive my orders after Christmas — it spreads the holiday out a bit longer. Yet I know there are those who want what they want when they want it.
Now that we’re pretty much settling into Christmas — this being the last few days, I thought a fun recipe would be good for me to share.
I was on Pinterest looking at other stuff and these recipes kept popping up . . .
It was difficult for me to decide on just one . . . then the Almond Joy Cookie Recipe with only 4 ingredients came up and I knew I had a winner!!
I’m all about quick and easy!!
Let’s get started with the Ingredients:
a 14 ounce bag of sweetened coconut flakes
2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup chopped almonds
a 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk.
Now let’s get these put together:
Preheat oven to 325° F.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl combine coconut, chocolate chips, chopped almonds and sweetened condensed milk.
Stir, stir and stir until it’s all mixed nicely.
Scoop out the dough with a cookie scoop onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
You may want to wet the tips of your fingers with water so you can shape the cookie dough into discs.
You want the tops to be flat.
Once that is done you’re ready to bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes until the tips of the coconut are just starting to turn a golden brown.
Let ’em cool on the baking sheet.
I know you’re going to have to try at least one before storing them in an airtight container.
Well, there you have it!
I hope you’ll try out this recipe. Add to it, change the ingredients and even rename it!
I love board games, card games and this dexterity game similar to pick-up sticks, but much more fun!!
I love games that include the young children and is fun to watch as well as play.
This game teaches sportsmanship. It is obvious that when a player dumps the Yeti into the bowl that the game ends. That player loses, but it is so much fun up to that point that everyone just plays another round.
Yeti In My Spaghetti was designed for 2 or more players 4 years and up.
The game includes:
a Bowl
a Yeti
30 Noodles
Game Rules
This makes for a great gift for holidays, birthdays and to put in your family game night rotation.
Yeti In My Spaghetti is a fun game kids of all ages enjoy!!
If not, its time to did . . . and you might as well get one for the whole family.
This is definitely a gift that keeps on giving. I love mine and have explored more books than I initially thought I would. It’s great for kids, too.
It’s never too early to get everyone reading and exploring the various genres of books. I love the idea that I can purchase a book and have it on my Kindle immediately. This is so cool.
Click the link to the right to be taken to the page that can explain the Kindle 6″ E-Reader so much better than I can . . . but it has audio, too. Great for when you want to listen to a book rather than read it for yourself. I love this feature when I’m busy fixing dinner or relaxing in the evening.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you’ve found a Kindle E-Reader that is right for every member of your family.
Tim Holtz introduced his quite some time ago, but I didn’t purchase it right away.
I wanted to see how it worked out . . . and if I really needed one.
The stamp platform is excellent. Watch this video:
What do you think?
I find it works great and allows me to get better stamped images.
I work a lot with the photopolymer stamps and this gives me a clear image . . . and a repeat performance if I don’t get the pressure just right.
I’ve found my problem has been with the even pressure and also not twisting my stamp as I lift it up. With this platform, there is no way I will be twisting my stamp as I lift it up — the platform lifts straight up.
I’m pleased with this platform and find it makes stamping much more enjoyable for me. I especially like it when I’m making several cards and want a precision placement of an image or a sentiment. It does save time.
