Rosemary Christmas Stars...

I LOVE,LOVE, LOVE the scent of rosemary.
Every Christmas I try to incorporate a little rosemary somewhere in the decorating.
This year I made simple stars using sprigs of rosemary.
All you do is trim the sprigs so they are about the same length. 

Hot glue the five or six sprigs of rosemary in a star shape.
And trim shape if necessary.
Add a centre bow. 
I used burlap twine but you could use a ribbon in the colour of your choice.
Add a hanger - I used the twine, but once again you could use ribbon.
And there you have it.
Super simple and smelling 'OH SO GOOD' Christmas stars.
Hang on your tree.
On your berry tree.
Or display at the base of your Christmas tree...

Goals, Gratitude and Christmas Roses...❤


As 2015 draws it's final days, It is time to reflect on the year that has been, plan for the new one to come, set goals to make one's dreams a reality, and be GRATEFUL!.

The 2016 Goals & Dreams:
 To work towards my 2017 Exhibition. 
Which means paint, and create BIG TIME!
Make new connections - and hopefully develop positive new friendships with people who LOVE art, and the sharing of creativity.
To further grow 'Mia Bella Passions'. 
To create a portfolio of photographs for the book project.
 And to continue to inspire others.

Thank you all for your support throughout 2015.  
It has been a year of incredible ups. 
With the top two being:
 Mia Bella Passions becoming a 'TOP 10' blog in New Zealand. 
❤ Being a Merit Award recipient at the 2015 Hibiscus & Bays Art Awards.

I am truly grateful to all of my wonderful friends, family, and many followers of 'Mia Bella Passions' and 'Tracey Lee Cassin Art', here on this blog, on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Google+.
Your positivity and love has been AMAZING and incredibly empowering.

Malteser Truffles...

Truffle recipes
Love Maltesers? Love chocolate?
Then these goodies are for YOU?
Truffle recipes
I have used my Mama's delicious unbaked slice recipe to encase Maltesers.
Once rolled in balls, dipped some in milk chocolate, as well as dusting some with dark cocoa powder.
Christmas Baking
In a large pot melt and mix: 
150 grams butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence, 3/4 cup caster sugar, and 2 tablespoons dark cocoa powder.
Cool slightly, and add two lightly beaten eggs.  Mix well.
Add 250 grams finely crushed plain vanilla biscuits. Mix into the chocolate mixture.
(Note the plastic bag/rolling pin crushing technique.  
One must improvise when the food processor decides to break!)
Mix into the chocolate mixture.
Truffle recipes
This mixture is quite moist.
Take a single Malteser from its packet.
Truffle recipes
Use clean WET hands to encase the Malteser in the mixture.
