And The Giveaway Winner Is.....

December 12th


Naomi. Naomi was very good at playing her recorder. Everyone said so. She played at all the festivals in Bethlehem, and she would certainly play for the new baby. Why the baby was so special she did not know. The grown-ups seemed to think that what had happened last night was very important. Whatever the reason, she was going to play her very best songs at the stable.


I have returned to the baking of my youth by purchasing a pastry cloth and rolling pin cover. I forgot how well these work.


This is another new recipe this year.


It made 15 dozen cookies.


You bake a bunch of small round disks.


Spread apricot jam on one side.


And sandwich them together.


These are very yummy.


I sandwiched half of them with blackberry jam then sprinkled them with powdered sugar.

Yum! Those do look delicious!

I think it's really neat that you're going through all the characters in your nativity! How long have you been doing that for?

Happy Saturday SITS sharefest!
Apricot and blackberry jam! Can it taste anything but delicious then? :-)

Naomi was another one I´ve never heard of before. I´m learning a lot when reading here!
Have a great day now!

Oh boy! Things are really Holiday'ing out at Octoberfarm! I love seeing all your neat collectables and capturing the moods and smells of Xmas. I'm planning on doing my Xmas cookies this next week and hope to do some photographs and post it. I'm doing an "origins" themed cookie bunch this year--German/Scandinavian/Scottish/English theme for our combined heritage. Hope it works out. I haven't used cookie stamps since I was a kid!

I just made a similar cookie - and I made apricot jam this summer. No blackberry though...didn't get to the store at the right time.
