There's Magic in the Air with Paper Cupcakes Recipe Blog Hop!



Hello, and Welcome!


You have made it to the 4th stop of the



Nina's wonderful design that I used, is called "Owls on Candy Cane".

All images were colored using colored pencils and mineral spirits.

Glossy Accents were used to shine the candy up a bit!

My gift set includes one large and one small gift bag, one large flip top candy box, one small pizza box full of candy, and a clamshell box full of gift tags!

I hope you like it!





The sentiment on the Kraft bag says: "There's Magic in the Air! Happy Holidays".





Now, here is one of my family's favorite Christmas Recipe:


Ice Cream Cake


In a small pan, toast 1/2 cup of coconut and 1/2 cup of pecan pieces. Be sure to stir and 'toss' to avoid burning. When toasted, set aside.


Prepare a graham cracker crust in 9 x 13 x 2 pan.


In large mixing bowl, blend together 1 large and 1 small container of Cool Whip, 8 oz. Cream Cheese, and 1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed milk. When blended pour into crust.


Sprinkle coconut and pecan topping over filling.


Drizzle top with Caramel and/or Chocolate Ice Cream Topping.

Cover and freeze until ready to eat.


Note: You can use all low-fat ingredients for a healthier treat!



Now for my secret word: WHERE


If you arrived on my blog first, you need to go to the beginning of the hop HERE, to get all of the directions, and to begin collecting clues. If you arrived here from Kim's blog, then you are on the right path!


Remember to leave a comment on my blog!

Your next stop is to go over to Nilla's blog to see another card/project, find a new recipe,

and collect your next clue!


Have fun!
P.S. In addition to all of Nina's fabulous prizes, on Monday, I will randomly choose a winner from those who comment here. That winner will receive the gift set you see here! Good luck everyone!
