White Chocolate Christmas Trees

White Chocolate Christmas Trees


Ingredients
  • 12 oz . package of Wilton white or bright white candy melts
  • green & red holiday sprinkles
  • 1 bag of pretzel sticks not the larger rods
  • 1-2 small sandwich baggies
  • kitchen scissors
  • 1-2 foil lined baking sheets
Instructions
  1. #1. Place the candy melts in a microwavable safe glass dish. Heat in 30 second increments, stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Remove from the microwave and let cool a few minutes.
  2. #2. Once the chocolate is cool but still melted, scoop it into the sandwich baggie, squeeze the extra air out and make a small snip in the bottom corner of the bag.
  3. #3. I thought these were pretty easy to make but if you want, do a practice run a few times....
  4. Place a small pretzel stick on the foil lined baking sheet. Draw one line of white chocolate across the pretzel about midway-3/4 of the way up. Continue to work your way up the pretzel making the white chocolate lines shorter and shorter making to resemble a Christmas tree.
  5. Too make the tree 'thicker', simply work your way back down going an a back a forth motion.
  6. #4. Sprinkle the green & red sprinkles on the tree.
  7. Practice makes perfect. The first few trees I did looked funny and that's ok! This is supposed to be fun and they don't have to be perfect. Once you do a few of them you will get the hang of it.
  8. #5. Once you've used all the chocolate and decorated your trees, place the baking sheets in the fridge. Take them out after 20 minutes and you will be able to pop the trees right off the foil. Be gentle with them and store them in the fridge. I ended up letting mine set out for 30 minutes and a few broke in half so keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Trend predictions with staying power

Gambar
In late 2012 I wrote a post about   2013 trends that I thought would have great staying power.  Several days ago I reread that post, and if I do say so myself I definitely hit the bullseye with my predictions. These are still going strong: simple geometric patterning  nature inspired motifs (birds, feathers, florals, plants, etc. ) lighter woods in furniture and  floors gold toned finishes  open walls in kitchens  backsplashes to the ceiling mixed colours in kitchen cabinets reclaimed/eco-friendly materials  In addition it seems that there are variations of these trends that will also have great staying power.   Consider: More geometric patterning  Not only will you see geometric patterning used on textiles and rugs, it has moved to furniture  and lighting as frameworks, overlays and inlays.  Sculptural light fixtures Yes,  still going strong and branching out a little from the  large scale, voluminous fixtures seen in 2014 to a whole new skeleton/wire look that will be big for 2015.

Accenting with wood

  There are so many ways you can make your space inviting .  My recommendation today is to  consider wood because it can add both warmth and architectural interest to any space.  Choose a little or a lot, there's something for every space. If you don't  like the warm tones of wood but love the grain and texture, think about white washing or gray washing it.   How about using  wood  in...... Accessories  source  A few twigs or pinecones as part of a table display or sliced wood attached to board or a recessed box shape can add instant interest to small areas. source These houses cut from weathered 2 x 4 are the essence of simple, but when massed together they provide big impact  when displayed on simple white vertical  shelving  attached to white painted board.    source  If you find beautiful wooden boxes like the ones above grab them.  They not only provide extra storage but they look great in any application.  You can tuck them away or use them out in the open as an end table

Blogger App

Yes, there is an App for Blogger and here I am trying it out.  In the past I've wanted to compose posts on my I Pad when I was travelling and couldn't.  Last week I saw an ad and decided to give it a try.  This is an in process review. So far so good. The interface is simple , but so are the text options.   Can't do much that is fancy with just Bold  and Italics and underline.   Also clumsy when you have to select and apply these options.  Not to mention how I hate one finger pecking to compose! Let's try adding a photo from my camera roll.  You  have some options for photos with screen shots, actual photos taken with I Pad or downloaded  from camera. When you read the reviews they are less than stellar with a long list of complaints.  My take: Can't include video or links, can't add photo captions or photo properties.  Nowhere to add label tags. So much for basic SEO.   So..... Good for a short,  simple post with photos while you are on the fly.  I am wonderin
