Pumpkin Scones

SconesVanilla GlazeCinnamon Glaze
4¼ cup flour 1 cup powdered sugar1½ cup powdered sugar
¾ cup sugar2 Tbsp heavy cream½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt½ tsp allspice
2 Tbsp baking powder2-3 Tbsp heavy cream
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground cloves
¾ tsp nutmeg
2 tsp cinnamon
¾ cup butter, cold, cut in cubes
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
  1. In small bowl, mix the pumpkin, heavy cream and egg with a whisk. Set aside.
  2. In mixer, using paddle attachment, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and spices. Add in cold butter cubes and mix until crumbly. Slowly add in pumpkin mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.
  3. Divide dough in half, and form the dough into a 12x5 inch rectangle. If it’s too sticky, using hands, mix in enough flour so it is easier to shape.
  4. Cut dough into triangles by making three vertical cuts (you should now have 3 rectangles. Cut each of the rectangles by making an X, I use a pizza cutter. Then make ONE horizontal cut across the center. You should have 18 triangles.
  5. Place each triangle onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 425 degree oven for about 13-15 minutes. Repeat with other half of dough.
  6. Cool on rack. Make sugar glaze by whisking the sugar with heavy cream. Using a brush, paint the tops of each scone with the glaze.
  7. To make the cinnamon glaze, whisk all the ingredients together until smooth. Pour into a ziploc bag and cut the corner. Drizzle the glaze over all the scones. Allow to dry (about 15 minutes). Eat and enjoy!

Card ball

I have been clearing off my bookshelves and cleaning out my closets. I noticed I had an abundance of old greeting cards and wanted to do something special with them. A Greeting Card Ornament is when you cut out circles of the face of each card (20 for each ball) and then oragami them into triangles and glue them together. This is a birthday greeting ball.

Fawn Lawn card

Archivers is going out of business at the Great Northern Mall.  Everything is 30% so I got some stamps and cards today. I colored everything with my Crayola colored pencils. I am pleased with the colors!
