Carolina Crafting

I put everything off to the last minute. I love the rush of getting things done at the last second. I know I drive friends and family nuts but it’s the only way I will get anything done.

Today I have made Rice Krispie treats for my son-in-law and some new candy that I wanted to try. Usually I make fudge for my daughter but I wanted to try something new. I got the recipe from Crockpot365 (there’s a link on the right hand side of my site) It has chocolate, pretzels, fritos and other yummy stuff.

All my gifts are wrapped and under the tree. But…..I still need to buy food for the FEAST. It’s still 15 degrees outside and I hate to venture out.

Since I like to practice what I preach, I have shopped as locally as I could. All my major gifts were purchased at craft shows and small craft shoppes here in Western North Carolina. I think the family will be happy with the uniqueness of their gifts. One of my favorites is what I got my brother. I had done an segment with a blacksmith in Hanging Dog, NC. (the show will air later in 2009) Tommy Chavers makes the neatest steak turners. I watched him take just a piece of iron and turn it into a work of art. I thought I had a picture to insert right here but I had taken a bad picture and the gift is on it’s way to Texas. (sorry)

Carolina Crafting, the shop, will be closed until the 26th. We will be open all day New Years’ Eve for the Possem Drop in Brasstown. If you’ve never been, you have got to see this !!!!
