Joy and whoopee pies!

Hey everyone!  It's Friday so that means I have a few days to kick back!  No Black Friday shopper here.  I feel very fortunate to say that there was nothing I needed to be up at 3:00 AM and waiting in line for this morning.  My daughter put 3 items on her list for her Secret Santa we do every year with my family: coat, piano music, candy.  Interesting huh?  I knew she wanted piano music because we have been searching the net looking for sheet music to various Christmas songs.  The candy I am not so sure about.  She seems to think I limit her intake of this too much.  We just went to Trader Joes' and I  bought her  peppermint whoopee pies .  Okay, maybe they were for both of us.  I would eat one of these over candy any day!
Pretend there is a picture here of the whoopee pies.  I hope to get one before they are gone!  Instead I share a yummy gingerbread card I made.

I made this today with the holidays on my mind.  I really like to bake cookies, breads, and muffins at Christmas time.  I am gearing myself up for this with a card using a gingerbread stamp.  What a delightful smell gingerbread omits while baking!  My DD loves to decorate the people when they come out.  We usually make a gingerbread house as well.  Strangely she does not care for the candy we use to construct a candy wonderland though.  I was just thinking, we have never used Nerds though.  I guess we need try that.  :-)
My card for today was created with no holiday paper.  I love when I can muster the mojo to do this.  It seems I sometimes get stuck and think I can only use Christmas paper when. making a Christmas card.  So not true. 
I need to get some things taken care of quickly and just realized the time.  Eeek!  More later!
