There were 22 of these nifty red bakery boxes filled with cookies..... I really like the boxes and think they add so much to the gift. If the cookies aren't up to snuff at least they look pretty, don't they?
.......and there were 6 tins of fudge and 12 mini loaves of Christmas breads.
Snickerdoodles anyone? I made the tags on the boxes and wrote the name of the cookie on the reverse side.
I did the same for the breads.
The baked goods and homemade fudge ended up in gift bags that were delivered to neighbors and friends on Christmas eve. This year I also made the Christmas cards which is something I've never got around to trying before. I liked making them so much I'm going to try to make all of the ones I send out next year.
We had a lovely Christmas and I'm going to spend this week enjoying the peace and quiet and rest up from all of the work spent getting ready for Christmas. I'll be taking down the decorations and putting them away the weekend after New years. We have a tradition in our family. The decorations are up for the most part for my birthday and come down a month later after my daughter's birthday.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and at this time I want to wish you a very
~Happy New Year~

Happy Birthday to you ♫
Hi Miss Maddyrose,
OMM (oh my mohair) you were so busy. I guess the last few days before Christmas are hectic at the North Pole. You need quiet time and a chance to just enjoy the decorations.
Mom's Grandparents left their decorations up until the Epiphany, her Gram called it "Little Christmas", and she loved going there because all the decorations were still up. We love to hear about traditions. (o:

Wow! I'll bet your neighbors REALLY love your Christmas Goody Packages! That is awesome Maddy Rose! I love how lovingly and beautifully you packaged each gift.
We leave our tree up until sometime after the New Year too. Usually take it down sometime after my hubby's b'day on 1/11 ....
Happy New Year Maddy Rose!

Down to the wire? Lightweight, everyone knows it's only down to the wire if it's after midnight on Christmas Eve, not that I would know anything about that... *cough* every year *cough*
The goodies all look fab though, and I'm sure they were well received :o) I'm currently building furniture, but I should be done by dinner time (it's lunchtime right now) and then I can rest and play too :o)
Have a great new year :o)
Did I mention I am moving next door and that I am very fond of snickerdoodles and fudge (just to make it easy for you planning-wise). Holy cow, woman! Put those feet up and rest! Job well done! Happy new year - xox
Oh my... what a treasure trove of treats you made! I can see why you would need the help of a few elves! Here's wishing you a wonderful New Years filled with inspiration, laughter, and love!
Best~
