A Guinea Pig Christmas



We have been busy making okay eating a lot of cookies. We made a lot of these chocolate gingerbread men which were meant to be for a cookie exchange but we ate them before they were exchanged. It is surprisingly hard to do the icing on these....but luckily I had a hardworking house elf to complete the job.





The royals look like they are having a whale of a time in their Christmas sweaters. I really want that corgi one the Queen is wearing. I would love to be a fly on the wall as they tuck in on Christmas day! 

I am running about like a lunatic trying to finish up the Christmas shopping because tomorrow we have predicted snow and ice rain and I don't want to be sliding around in that. Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? I will be glad when it is all over, let me tell you.

I did manage to finish a Guinea Pig Calendar which is perfect for little people this Christmas. It is full of Guinea Pigs and so much fun. Like this excitable little chap:

    I have also baked- and eaten- a lot. Tomorrow I'm going to glue my lips together and bake some cookies as presents! Enjoy your preparations. Hugs, Valerie

    I laughed out loud about your cookies! Sounds like something I would do. Cookies are my downfall in the weight loss effort. Love the guinea pigs. They are so cute. Also, I like the picture of the royals in their Christmas sweaters. Yes, the queen's sweater is a winner.

    Fabulous guinea pigs. You are so fun!! The Royals came to my neck of the wood this Fall we all had our eyes peeled on tv...The new royals are down to earth and pretty fun I think!! Love crazy Christmas sweaters when others wear them!! We're getting a snow storm again too tonight! Take care! Yes Cupcake has made three batches of cookies...and two of butter tarts...guess why? Yep just like you!!

    Hugs Giggles
