Cookie FAIL

Alright, so I can do a lot while I make cookies. I can run upstairs and get dressed...fast. I can watch all four of my kids with my four eyes (you know, two in the front...two in the back). I can make myself breakfast and listen to music, watch tv, blah, blah, blah. I'm sure Brooke (my cookie partner) can stand on her head, too...but I'm not the gymnastic type.

So, in the process of starting to make 250 cookies (and I say starting because we're not even 1/3 of the way done) for the MS Society fundraiser, I found out what I can NOT do while making cookies:

For future reference, no more COMPUTING while making cookies!!

Because this is what happens:

Now, I know my mother-in-law likes her cookies crispy...but I don't think even she will eat these. They are brown. Plain and simple. Cookie FAIL.

New Computer

Hubs got me a new computer and I'm still learning all the fine details. Bear with me! I have cute Easter cookies coming and plan on doing some Easter decor stalking in the next couple of days!

Stay tuned....

A little bit of Easter

in a BIG way.




It is all quotes from different people during the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus. All the quotes from Jesus are in red. It's really hard to read in the pictures, but under the crosses, in the brown, it says, "Surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Cookie Decorating Party

Kiss me, I'm Irish!

Love to decorate sugar cookies or just want to know how? Come over!

When: Saturday, March 6th
Time: 10am-1pm
Where: My house
What: St. Patrick's Day Cookies (shamrocks...oh yes)
Cost: $15 (to cover the cost of cookies and icing)

Who's invited? YOU ARE (you know...if you live in the same area)

You'll leave with a dozen, four inch cookies YOU decorated and the knowledge of how to do it yourself again!

If you would like more cookies, please let me know in advance. Each additional dozen is $10. If you would like a dozen small shamrocks, they are $6/dozen.

Here is a sample of what you can create:

Valentine's Day Cookies

I think cookies are appropriate for every occassion, don't you?

Especially when they are this cute!

I told you so...

ONE more Valentine's Day project...I promise!

I saw these somewhere in blogland (sorry, can't remember where!) and loved the idea. I want to give my kids cards and candy and then have them write one thing down that they love about each other and stick it in each other's bag.

SO....here are the bags they'll be putting them in!


I thought I wouldn't make Valentine's Day a big deal for my kids. So much for that, huh?

The Names of God

Here is my latest project:



Yup. I loves it. It's hard to read the red writing in the picture, but they say "Redeemer", "Savior", and "Everlasting."

It's going on that empty wall by my dining room table. I think I just got warm-fuzzies from the thought of covering that wall because it has been the bane of my existence trying to figure out what I'm going to do with that wall. Alright, not really, but I'm still glad to cover it up.

But really? The Daniel Bible Study has the title of "My Bane."

Seriously. Oh Lord, help me.
