Made my Christmas cake yesterday, should have been made 2 months ago but at least its not the day before Christmas like a few years ago!
It’s a chocolate fruit cake soaked with lots of orange liqueur. You brush it on, have sip and brush it on, have a sip, brush on some more, sip some more, you get the picture!
I slept very well last night.
I made two so I have one to take over to the farm at Christmas. My sil is rather a fan; she shares my tastes in alcohol and chocolate.
While I was sipping and brushing, I made these 4 atc’s for a house challenge on a forum I am a member of.
No fabric and no stitching but lots of glitter!!!
The first two i have for trade, if anyone wants to trade, ema me.i am not in hurry if you dont have any cards to trade just yet.
Just noticed that the scanner has chopped all the feet off, they do really have feet!!!
And my finished cakes...look a bit decadent, dont they? i love pecans specially choccy coated.

Yummy looking cakes! I'm a fan of chocolate too! If I'm going to have some spirits, I like good ole beer! Not much on the heavy stuff-but I do like some good champagne every now and again or mimosas-yummy!
Thanks for your visit and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
