11th December

Welcome to Day 11
OMG where is December going, in a fortnights time it will be Christmas Day and it's already Day 11 on our Advent Calendar. Hope you have all had a good day. I have noticed whilst blog hopping that traffic on the blog has certainly dropped off in the last couple of weeks, luckly thats not the case here, I think this must mean you are enjoying our little effort to make the run-up to Christmas exciting and fun. No question for you today you just need to leave a comment below this post to be entered for todays gift. Don't forget to check back at the same time (00:01GMT) to see what is behind window 12.

Todays window opens to show my own Whiff of Joy Willow with Cookies card (but I like to think they could be Mince Pies)

My recipe for Mince Pies
8 oz of softened butter,
1 lb of plain flour,
2 oz of icing sugar,
2 egg yolks,
1 egg,
1 lb of mincemeat (with or without nutmeg, cinnamon… depending on your taste.
You can also stir in 2 oz of brandy, although this is of course entirely optional – but very tasty.

Don't forget to be in with a chance to win the lovely Whiff of Joy Willow with Cookies stamp just leave a comment below and check back tomorrow to see if you have been lucky. Best of Luck!!

Yesterdays herb will soon have a new home, the number chosen by Random.Org was 183 That is Suzanne from Crafty Kid Family. Well done Suzanne can you please e-mail us your address so we can get Herb off to you post haste. Don't forget everyone to check back tomorrow when we will be opening another window.

Hugs
