Sarah made up a batch of Chocolate Caramel Cookie Bars (Recipe from Martha Stewart) on the weekend and they were delicious!! The salted chocolate caramel layer was amazing. I think we will be making more of these over the festive season.
Sarah and I are attending a Gingerbread House Workshop at a local cake decorating store on the weekend. We have been busy buying lots of lollies – can’t wait to learn all the techniques. This may become a Christmas tradition!
The latest Handmade Magazine is dedicated to Quick Christmas Crafts and includes my Starry Night Napkins. These were fun to put together and I love the aqua and silver colours ( I might have to have a change from the red and white next year!)

What are your favourite colours for Christmas?
Lovely napkins – you’d be horrified at my lack of Christmas thinking! But I like yours!!!
These are truly lovely…and blue and silver are definitely my colours for Christmas….I haven’t bought handmade mag for some years, however, I think I might have to make an exception seeing these…
wow! So prettu combination! Pale blue and silver!! I love this!! My colors are the traditional red, green and gold. I may say I start adoring your color combination idea!!! Kisses!! Thanks for so beautiful work!
Sarah, I would LOVE a bite of this sweet delicious!!! Fairy hands you have for cooking too!!! Love! Bela.
I love the look of Sarah’s chocolate caramel cookie bars!! And I love the gorgeous and simple style you have given to the napkins. What a great idea. My favourite colour for Christmas is definately the reds. I can’t help myself. Have a great day. Kind regards, Anita.
I must make those chocolate bars! Better wait till Laura is here, so I don’t have to eat that many ;o)
Cute Starry Night Napkins!
My favorite color for Christmas? I must say, I like the traditional colors red, green and white, but then nice and bright! And it depends on the fabric line. I am now working with ‘non traditional’ colors and I enjoy it very much!
Wow, the napkins are gorgeous. I love the colours you chose.
Have LOTS of fun making your gingerbread houses

Those are so pretty!
My colors are pretty traditional warm red and green, but I have enjoyed brightening them up recently to more of a 60s happy green and red. It has been fun using girlie Christmas colors for my daughter’s white tree – turquoise, hot green, bright purple and red, and hot pink.
Red, red and more red! Your silver and aqua is gorgeous…love those napkins!
Have lots of fun at your Gingerbread lessons…can’t wait to see your houses!
mmm yum, those cookies look and sound amazing!!!
i must admit i like traditional clours fro Christmas reds and greens and of course some sparkle!!
Those napkins are beautiful! I’m not sure what my favorite colors for Christmas are — it’s always been red and tradtional Christmas green — but lately I’ve been loving red and lime green and some aqua thrown in.
I hope you love the gingerbread houses. It’s a tradition that my family looks forward to every year. Just last night my sister was whispering some big plan for a gingerbread house to my youngest niece — accompanied by maniacal laughter. Everyone keeps their plan top secret, in case ideas should be stolen LOL!
mmm, those bars look deadly!
I adore your starry night napkins! The colors are so elegant. I typically like red and white for this season.
my fav colour,..they have to be red nd white,.;-)
The aqua and silver truly speak of winter. They are beautiful.
I really like your crocheted tags also. Very cute indeed.
Red and green are my holiday colors! The silver and aqua napkin combo is very pretty. The dessert looks yummy!
Of course I don’t have a favourite Xmas colour but I LOVE those napkins. Beautiful! Enjoy the house docrtaing class and don’t eat all the decorations 🙂
Ive already printed the recipe and can’t wait to try it! They look and sound delicious. My Christmas colors are red and white but I love those aqua and silver napkins. Maybe I need a change too!!!
Royal blue and Silver, look great however I still have postbox red , gold and huntsman’s green in the decorations. Setting a table is awesome and your napkins just set the right tone.
Very lovely 🙂
Oh my those cookies look divine. And of course I had to go look at the recipe….I have never been able to find fleur de sel in NZ though. Several recipes I use call for it, and I always just use normal salt…I wonder what the difference would be.
The napkins are lovely. I seem to always trend towards the traditional colours for Christmas so reds, golds and greens for me. But having said that some of the more modern Christmas fabrics are gorgeous with their not so traditional colours
The cookie bar looks really yummi! Have to get the recipe! The aqua and silver colors look beautiful, but my favorite colors for Christmas -you know;-)) are still the traditional red and white.
Cake looks mouth watering…..
The stars are beautiful and I love those colours. For Christmas my favourite colours are still very traditional red, green, gold and a touch of country blue. I am a blue lover so there has to be some blue.
I love the look of the silver and blue. I would like to someday change from my traditional red and green but I don’t see it happening anytime soon.
My fave christmas colors have got to be red and white with a spatter of green!
We have a different colour theme every Christmas. Last year was my favourite so far with red and turquoise. This year we are doing “rainbow” which requires the tree to be dressed from yellow/gold at the top, downwards through all the rainbow’s colours to purple at the bottom. Miss Six and I are even trying our hand at making some rainbow ornaments from sculpey…we are kind of making it up as we go along so I hope they turn out! Wish us luck!
Blue is my favorite color and my favorite Christmas color is red and white. I like to think outside the box this year and use a few blue decorations. I think it will be very pretty with my snowmen. Love your blue stars.
I hope that you post pictures of your houses – you two are always up to something wonderful! Love, love, LOVE salted caramel… those bars look heavenly.
Your “Starry Night Napkins” are so beautiful!
My favorite Christmas colors are white and silver but also the classical red and white…
Hugs,
Doris
Those napkins are delicious!
