Right now I'm in the thick of an assignment for school, so my little typing hands are needed elsewhere right now ;-) Wish me luck!
Have a great day and I'll be back to talk about blue food on Thursday!

Right now I'm in the thick of an assignment for school, so my little typing hands are needed elsewhere right now ;-) Wish me luck!

My Memories Suite Giveaway
Hello all! I hope that everyone’s 2012 is getting off to an amazing start! :-) I have some good news to share and it’s a bit of a thank you to you all for visiting me here at my blog.
I was contacted by the good people at My Memories, the makers of this great digital scrapbook software and I was thrilled. They asked if I’d like to hold a giveaway of their My Memories Suite software package worth $40! And of course I said yes!
I love scrapbooking and anything creative, so this software is right up my alley. I’ve been scrapbooking off and on over the years in the traditional way and it has been great, but digital scrapbooking is my new favourite hobby ;-)
Digital scrapbooking with My Memories is a breeze and it’s so easy to arrange the photos on your page and add all of the embellishments you want. You simply drop your photos into the boxes on the pre-designed templates, or you can create your own layouts. In the My Memories Suite, you are provided a wide array of embellishments, fonts, background papers, shapes, multimedia options, etc. And I will say it again; the software is very easy to use. I love it!
Here is a quick tongue in cheek album that I put together about my love of cake baking. I did this in a short time and it was so fun to give it a go.

Christmas 2011 Baking
As I mentioned in a previous post, I did a bit of baking over the days leading up to Christmas and things turned out pretty good. I made Magic Cookie Bars, a chocolate cheesecake, and a red velvet cake.
Everything did taste good, however the Magic Cookie Bars got a bit toasty around the edges ;-) Surprisingly though, the toasty bits were kind of the best part. Who knew???? Here's a picture of my result:
Next, I baked the chocolate cheesecake. It turned out pretty good. It's very rich, and I would definitely make it again. Here's my attempt:
And my last bit of baking for Christmas 2011 was a red velvet cake. I usually make red velvet cupcakes, but this year I decided to bake a full size cake. And in order to add a bit of festive fun, I planted a Christmas tree and let Santa and the Snowman hang out in my cream cheese flavored snow ;-) It got all winter wonderland around the Yellow House.
And our old friend Trevor just had to horn into this last washed out photo. Lol. He loves making his way into the spotlight during the holidays!
It was fun to do a bit of holiday baking. I wonder what I'll bake next year???? Who knows...but watch this space. And as always, I'll be baking and cooking throughout the year, so please stop by again to see how it all turns out :-)
Until next time...
