Homemade Cookies, anyone?

Today, hubby baked cookies for 24 elderly people in the community as Christmas gifts thru Assay Lab, my work place. He baked Macadamia, peanut butter, chocolate chips and double chocolate chips (my favorite) and sugar cookies. The cookies in the pic above were the leftovers. I did not have a photo of Macadamia ones.

We put them into a tin container after putting them in a treat bag. We individually wrapped the chocolate chips and double chocolate chips in a water cellophane so that the other kinds will not smell and taste like chocolate chips cookies.

This is how it looks when the treat bag is tied up. It is pretty, ain't it?

Looking at these sweet delights is making me happy.

 

I was planning to wrap around the four sides of the tin with these ribbons and put the bow at the top. I thought I grabbed the bag of bows at the store but apparently not because I could not find them. I did not have a choice except to make the bows out of the ribbons 

and I couldn't believe I really made them! They are beautiful!

 

My finished goodies!

I can be skillful, huh? Teehee!

Thank you so much for dropping by! Happy Holidays everyone!

Phillip Stein Watch is My Christmas Gift To Myself

My late friend Vanessa introduced me to Philip Stein and I was thinking to buy one for me in the future but I have forgotten about it until my cruise trip last July. Philip Stein watches were promoted by the Celebrity Cruise shops and sold in many different Jewelry shops in Skagway, Ketchikan and Juneau, Alaska. I actually went to one of the shops that time but I did not buy one even though my husband approved so. The reason was because the sales clerk was not that good in sales talk, hahaha, he was boring. Perhaps he thought I was just window shopping. Oh well.

Then I bumped into a thread online about Philip Stein watches last week and the rest is history.

Ain’t it pretty?

 

I love it because of its unique design and it has two clocks, I use one for US and the other one for Japan (my daughter lives there at the moment). Also, Philip Stein has a natural frequency technology which helps our body feel less stress, more energy and sleep better.

I hope it will help me sleep better because I really need it.

What did you buy for yourself this Christmas? Care to share?

Thank you for dropping by. Have a good one!

The Tale of my Beautiful Pair of Earrings and my Choker

A couple years ago I bought a beautiful pair of gold hoop earrings online but when they came in they were too big on me. I was thinking to give it to a close friend for Christmas since she loves huge hoop earrings. I misplaced them somehow. I looked everywhere but to no avail. It was indeed frustrating.

Fast forward, the other day, I decided to toss the special candies I got from a friend and co-worker who came back from Ireland in the Hershey's candy dish which had been sitting in my book shelves for quiet a while already.  When I opened it, lo and behold!, there I saw my earrings inside! With the earrings is the choker with a heart-shaped glass pendant my husband bought for me on one of our trips to Phoenix! The latter was honestly forgotten as well. 

It is weird finding them inside the candy dish! Anyhow, I am keeping them because they look good on me when I  tried them on, especially now that  I am wearing very short hair.

I am happy to find them again but I wish I found the important one that I lost instead, (my TIN card). I have no idea when did I lost it. I did not know it was not on my files until I needed it last September.
 

At any rate, I am thankful and I am sure I am going to enjoy my earrings and my choker!

Thank you for reading, have a good one!
