Merry Christmas!

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Glass Slipper Designs will be taking a brief hiatus over the holidays to spend time with family and friends. See you in the New Year!

Hand made Christmas gift sneak peek...

For those of you who don't know, I have a regular job outside of my work here at Glass Slipper Designs (I do invitations and stationery for fun on my spare time but have a normal, 8-4 job as well). I work with some pretty awesome people in my department, and I wanted to make them a little something to say, "Merry Christmas." This is just a sneak peek from my cell phone of the little something I made for them, but I promise to post better photos once they've all received their gift. I am very happy with how the gifts turned out!

I just love this video! A guy surprised his girlfriend with a proposal on her way home for Christmas on an Air Canada flight. Check it out:

Classic Christmas recipe: Land of Nod cinnamon buns

Every year for as long as I can remember, my Mom has made these cinnamon buns for Christmas morning. They are one of my favourite Christmas traditions! You prepare them on Christmas Eve (literally three easy steps) and they are ready to go in the oven on Christmas morning. Easy and delicious!

Land of Nod cinnamon buns


20 frozen dough rolls (find them in the frozen aisle at Safeway)
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding powder mix
1-2 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 cup melted butter


Directions:
Before you go to bed on Christmas Eve, grease a 10 inch bundt pan or round angel food pan and add frozen rolls. Sprinkle with brown sugar, pudding powder and cinnamon. Pour melted butter all over. Cover with a clean, damp tea towel and leave out on counter overnight.


In the morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 25 minutes. Let sit for five minutes and then turn out onto a serving plate. Enjoy!
