Starting off the week with a Crafty Secrets Blog Hop with cooking as our theme. Crafty Secrets has some of the cutest products focusing on the kitchen and all things domestic...it was hard to choose just a few things to focus on, but here we go. ( I apologize for the photos....it is dark and gloomy here today...looks like snow is on the way.)
This card uses a cut from the Crafty Secrets Kitchen Time Vintage Cuts sheet....so fun. A fun little ornament I made last night to hang on my white tree....I love bright red and white together.
And half of another project shown here....for some reason I can't get my other photo to load, but I'll be back later with more to show you....this uses another cut from the same sheet as the card above, and a stamp and chipboard piece from the Crafty Secrets Christmas Vintage Postcard Kit.
Here are some beautiful sites for you to visit on the blog hop with more crafty, cooking creations for you:

Creative and cute card! I like your candy swirl ornament, it will look perfect on an all white tree. The tags you made for the cutters are my favorite! Who wouldn't love a gift like that, plus saving the tags!

You mentioned you were wanting snow...hope you get some. We have some in SLC and more expected. It's the perfect kind of day to break open the CS Christmas postcard set and start to play. Beautiful cards; thanks for your wonderful inspiration!

Beautiful card. You cant tell it was cloudy. Your pictures always look great. I wondered how you take them...with natural light or with tent set up or something. I just think we don't have good sunlight direction in my windows here.

Love your felt ornament - so cute. Get ready for the snow, I'm in Reno & we got more than a foot at our house & I'm sure it's headed your way. Time for some warm cocoa & a nice fire!
