How dry I am.....

How dry I am.....

Hick!

Mantle Moose Approved Rum Balls

1- 6 oz package of chocolate chips

3 tablespoons corn syrup

1/2 cup rum

1 box of vanilla wafers, crushed into crumbs

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 cup chopped nuts

granulated sugar

Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler. Remove from heat. 

Add corn syrup and rum. In a large bowl combine vanilla wafer crumbs, powdered sugar and nuts. Add chocolate mixture, mix well.

Let stand for about 30 minutes. Form into 1" balls and roll in 

granulated sugar. Let season for several days in a 

covered container.

Then try to restrain yourself, from eating the entire 

container in one sitting!

:-)

Please be responsible...don't consume and drive!

LOL!!

4 More Sleeps!

The festivities are about to unfold.

The end of the hustle and bustle is near.

I soon hope you will be able to relax and enjoy the moment...

Like I will, when the floors are scrubbed, the bathrooms are cleaned, the meals are planned, the packages are wrapped, the cards are mailed, the dusting is done...

Oh heck, what am I doing sitting here writing about relaxing?

Mantle Moose, I wish I was you right now!

I guess I should have been using my time better, but I just couldn't help myself...

I just had to start, on that adorable pattern that 

Marlene sent in the ornie swap.

It's ready for some quilting and then the finishing touches.

Now if I could put off cleaning those bathrooms...

Hummmmm!

Got em calmed down for awhile!

Looks like Sparky and Mantle Moose are finally making friends and staying out of trouble. 

This likely won't last long!

:-(

Not the iron again!

Mantle Moose got to spend the day with Sparky, while mom was quilting with her friends!

Turn your back and they are both into mischief again!

Did you learn nothing from the last iron event?

Gheez!

#mantle moose

How many times do I have to tell you...

Be careful around the iron.

Yes, that's the look of shame!

Good thing we had more ribbon.

Mantle Moose, what am I to do with you?

I knew keeping him busy with Stocking watch wasn't going to last long!

Sigh!
