Only FIVE More Days...

I just can't believe it's going to be Christmas in 5 days!  Do you have all of your Christmas shopping done?  Are the presents are wrapped up all pretty and sitting under your tree?
By this time I'm sure a lot of you have been doing your baking and getting all of your favorite goodies ready to go!
My aunt usually makes homemade biscotti Italian cookies for the family every year.  It's my nana's recipe and I actually made them for work once.   I was making "S" shapes 4 ever!  It's been about five years since  and I have not attempted it again.

This is very much like how my aunt makes them - in ball shapes and with frosting and sprinkles on top.  Sometimes she also puts frosting with walnuts or shredded coconut.  The recipe looks similar, too.  It calls for a lot of eggs!

Here is my Matchbox #20 from Michelle.  Isn't is pretty?  I believe she has used some vintage papers for this.  Very neat! 

Oh the inside has another beautiful vintage image of a wintry scene.  I can hear the sleighbells ringalin ja ja jingalin too!!  Thanks so much Michelle!
