The bliss balls look great Chookie.

Judy, you are such a good girl putting in the links.

[judydawn]

Thanks Chookie.  It's such a help and time saving I find.

I thought I was doing really well with my Xmas gifts ... until I saw what all the rest of you were getting up to and now I think I am not as far ahead as I had hoped.  Anyway, here is my lot so far.  The empty bags are for Xmas Rocky Road and 3 Minute "Xmas" fudge which I havemade but haven't bagged up yet, the jars are taco seasoning and black forest dukkah.  I might also make some of the spice mixes I posted this morning as well, we'll see how energetic I am at the weekend

Now I just have to hope that my photography skills are still up to posting a photo.

Marina, they look great and all your products sound fantastic.  Is the recipe for the dukkah on here? I haven't been able to find it.

Love the labels.

[Cuilidh]

Wonder, the Black Forest Dukkah is off Recipe Community.

There's plenty of time Marina, just go along at your own pace.  I have to go full bore whilst I'm in the mood as that can change so quickly as it started LOL.

Marina generously gave me some of the Black Forest Dakkah she made.  It looked beautiful in jars with her personalized labels.  I rolled chocolate Bliss Balls in it,  very nice.  Thanks Marina for gift and recipe.   

Today I am making small kits to clean jewellery .  They will contain a small jar with a 1/2 dishwashing liquid and 1/2 cloudy ammonia.  And a soft small tooth brush and a soft cloth . The instructions will say to mix a dessertspoon of the mix with I cup of hot water, soak rings in cup for 5 minutes, brush gently with tooth brush,  rinse and dry with cloth. Amazing stuff.

First boxed gift going out today.  Will contain, 1 Xmas pud,  container of mixed Bliss Balls,  jar of Cake Release, container of Savoury Granola. 

Think I might make some Lemon and Carrot Sweet Marmalade today.

Thanks Marina
Chookie I love the jewellery cleaning idea, will use that for my own jewellery, and that hamper sounds great.  A few of those things are on my list to make for myslef.

[judydawn]

I also love the jewellery idea, some of mine really needs a good clean.  On my list of things to add to hampers, something completely different.  Thanks dear Chookie. Would those clothes I gave you be OK to use?
