Jingle Belles - Stuck on You

I am always amazed, and I shouldn't be, at what I find when I start searching for something.  This week it would be the search for holiday related stickers in my stash for the Jingle Belle sticker challenge this fortnight.  There was one in particular that I was looking for - and found it - but upon seeing something else, along with a scrap of scrapbook paper peaking out of a box of scraps, I went another direction.

The stickers I used were the foam gingerbread people.  What you can't see from this picture is that they are on a "cookie sheet" cut from some metallic silver cardstock.  (And I took this picture in what I thought was good daylight....go figure.)  There's also a panel of a textured metallic silver paper behind that baking utensil piece, which, btw was the scrap that appeared out of nowhere.

There were 3 sizes of stickers to choose from and I went with these because I could fit two of them on the sheet.  I was pleased to find another piece of plaid paper that had most of the colors in the baking piece.  

Maybe I'll get to using that other sticker on another card in the next day or so.  There's been so much going on here.  We've had more people through the house the last two weeks than we've had in ages.  We bit the bullet and ordered a whole-house generator in August that took till January to come in.  They have been in various stages of installation, inspection, and today finally turning it on and testing.  Thankfully it works.  We just need the final township inspection.  In the midst of that, our furnace decided to be cranky.  First, we replaced a pricey part and then HWNSNBP noticed a leak.  Fast forward to the decision to not replace an even pricier part and go for a new one...... with a two-day installation process in the middle of winter.  Luckily, again, they were able to spread the work out in a way that we didn't have to be without heat and hot water overnight.  And then there was the well issue...... see what I mean.  People in and money out.  But hey, we're warm, toasty, and hydrated.

Speaking of hydrated, I meant to mention in my last post about something I learned about hot chocolate in different parts of the world.  I know that in Mexico, cinnamon is added to hot chocolate and I have enjoyed that myself.  But did you know that in Columbia (and Ecuador) they add cheese to their hot chocolate?  It sounds strange, but if you think about it, cheese is a dairy product and they say that when it melts in the hot chocolate it makes it creamy with just a little bit of salt.  There are probably stranger things to add.  

Well now let me unstick myself from writing and go see what stick-to-it-tiveness the Jingle Belles have been up to.  You can join me by clicking here.
