Holiday Ornament Exchange

The much anticipated Holiday Stitch In gathering finally took place on this cold December afternoon.  Red was the color that prevailed adding to the festive mood.

These pretty packages contained the 28 ornaments for the Ornaments Exchange.  This is our fourth year doing the exchange. 

 The Refreshment Table

These Red Velvet Woopy Pies were made by Shelia using a cake mix.

To make them you will need:

1 box red velvet cake mix  --- 2 Large Eggs
1/4 cup oil 


Combine cake mix, eggs and oil until well blended


Shape dough into balls, flatten slightly unto a greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees for around 9 minutes.  
Enjoy

Julie's cardigan for Anna will sport lady bugs buttons.
