it's a Christmas miracle!

Oh my gosh!Oh my gosh!
We were baking our little hearts out, working on special orders, when what to our wond'ring eyes should appear... Jesus! In a chocolate batter smear!

We had thrown away a piece of wax paper that we'd been resting the spatulas on, and then there He was... the face of Jesus in the trash bin.

Elizabeth and I saw Jesus straight off, but when I showed the photos to Thomas he squinted and said, "how long had y'all been baking exactly?" Mom thinks it looks more like the phantom of the opera... I still think it's Jesus. It's Christmas, after all!

Mom's spiced tea

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but Mom's tea is so delightful...

One of my best Christmastime memories is my Mom's spiced tea. It's a perfect blend of spicy and tangy- delicious!

I always get cold super easily, so I constantly sip on warm beverages during this season. The spiced tea is a delicious blend of spices and is quick to make. Just add 2 tablespoons of the mix per cup of hot water and stir.

We're selling sacks of it in the shop for $6.50; each sack contains 3 cups of the mix, approximately 18-24 servings, depending on the size of your mug!
