Cream Cheese Danish

Cream Cheese Danish
These cold temps have me in the baking mood. This is not a good thing since I need to be cutting back but I try to share them so I'm not tempted to eat them all myself. ;)
2 tubes crescent rolls
2 - 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cup sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg, separated
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Open and lay 1 tube of crescent rolls in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, making sure to seal the perforations. Combine cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, egg yolk and vanilla, mixing thoroughly.

Pour cream cheese mixture over layer of crescent rolls. Open and layout second tube of crescent rolls on a piece of waxed paper. Seal all the perforations. Place this layer over the cream cheese layer, peeling off the waxed paper.
Slightly beat egg white and brush over the top. Combine 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle on top.
Bake at 350 degrees 25-30 minutes. Cool and store in the refrigerator.

Serve these up with a hot cup of coffee or hot cocoa,yummm yum!

For Missy

I wanted to show off some of Mr.GoldieLoo Woodworks work. :) Chuck can build anything and has pretty much built everything in our house, pie safe, apothecary cabinet, wood trash bin, shelves, nightstand, coffee & end tables plus so much more.

He don't like to sell out of state as he hates packing large stuff & worries over shipping large items. But occasionally he will build stuff for family & friends who want to buy. Here are a few things he made for a friend.
 We have been making these Blackboards for many years now.They are one of my favorites.

Please excuse our messy shop. :)

In Memory Of Jessica

This is a sign I made in memory of my beautiful niece we lost in a automobile accident last summer.
My brothers girl friend asked me to make one like this for her to give him for Christmas. I made this one for Jessica's mom and a few more for family members.
Jessica wrote this,she was a very gifted writer and talented singer.

"It's not where you go in life, but the love in your heart and how you choose to use it. Smile at everyone you catch eyes with & give all your friends a hug ,because it truly is the small things that touch people the most."
Jessica Denee' Draper

I will forever remember Jessica with a smile on her face,that sweet beautiful smile.
We love you Jess!

Snow Day!

 I have been so busy lately,I've not had time to create anything new,try new recipes,barley time for talking on the phone(what I do best;)). But I did find some time to take a walk in the snow with my doggies.♥


On our walks the dogs usually stay a ways head of me sniffing along their way. But Miss Lucy is always the most close to me, never too far away. As you can see everytime I knelt down to take a picture,she thought it was fun time and came barreling at me.



Goldie loves snow in her face!

Black Bart,our horse who thinks he is a dog. ;)

My new cabinet & a few little changes.

I finally got all my Christmas decor put away. The house always feels so empty to me. But to make things all better :) I got my sweet talented hubby to build me this little cabinet. It fits perfectly in the spot I wanted to put it.I also hung a few of my dough bowls above it.

My buddy Starla AKA Briar Rabbit Prims made me this sweet sweet prim snowman. I just could not bare to put him away,he may stay out all year long.
Once again,my prim Goose from my buddy Jen AKA Prairie House Primitives.


 I also added a few Game Boards to my collection grouped on this wall. I have Game Boards all over my house though.
