Good morning, friends! I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season and you're looking forward to a blessed Christmas. One of my favorite Christmas treats is Candy Canes. The problem is, I have a sensitivity to Red 40, the red coloring used in almost every Christmasy candy, that makes my skin break out in a rash. I searched the world over, but I had a very hard time finding good candy canes without the Red 40. So I decided to be brave and try to make some homemade. I'm sharing the recipe today on Stitches Thru Time! Click below to check it out. http://stitchesthrutime.blogspot.com/2016/12/homemade-albino-candy-canes.html

For those of you that missed it, on Thursday night we revealed the cover for my October release, The Messiah's Sign at the Helping Hands Press Thirsty Thursday party. I was thrilled that so many of my friends were there to celebrate with me! For the special occasion, we all partook in a Samoas Milkshake. Doesn't it look yummy?! Here's a link to the recipe. http://www.happygoluckyblog.com/2013/06/samoas-milkshake-recipe.html Well, you'll be happy to hear there's a fresh batch made up for today's blog post.
