Here is a neat craft.  It is great for the Holidays, not just Christmas either.  I think this would be very neat modified for Valentine’s Day; add hearts and shades of pink.

Other Supplies

Additional Tips/ Tricks from the Designer:

  • Used the Cricut Frosting Sheets for all of the white elements and made my own custom colored fondant for the red and aqua.
  • Decorated the back side of the cookies because it was a much flatter, smooth surface and the fondant looked so much better on a smooth surface.
  • Added edible pearl sprinkles for a fun touch.

Random Tuesday Thoughts – Cookie Time

Tried to watch the Lunar Eclipse last night…  Of course our house is positioned in a way that we had to go outside and see it.  OMGoodness was it cold.  We couldn’t stay out there the whole time.

I am not wanting Christmas to come yet.  I wait all year and now it coming to fast…

Today after “Momma Young Talks” it is cookie time.  That is all we are doing is making sugar cookies for our annual decorating.  I would love them to turn out as good as they did in 08′ .

With luck Grandma can make it and even Aunti.  The kids love their company.

It is almost time to do the final Crazy Christmas Cleaning.. Every since I was a kid, the house had to be

spotless

immaculate

sterile

for Christmas and it seems that hasn’t stopped yet.  I feel a twitch coming on…

Our pediatrician had to cancel baby’s appointment because she was sick.  I was just thinking, I don’t think I have ever heard a doctor say he or she was sick.  I thought they were impervious.

I love when a program automatically corrects my spelling.  Not these red squiggly lines that think my name is wrong.

Are you done shopping?  Just about here, just have to finish daddy bear and stocking stuff..

I’m off my kids are hungry for the 50th time and it is only 8 am…

UGH..

Random Tuesday Thoughts

Walking the dog every night has helped to ward off the extra pounds.  Only one pound gained at my last check up.  The baby’s heartbeat sounds impressive to the kids.

Mmmm decafe hazelnut creme coffee smells good.  I am afraid once baby is born and I am done nursing, I will fall hard off this 50 foot wagon and commence downing coffee like it is a national sport.

Coupons coupons, need more coupons.  I buy two newspapers on Sunday, one of which jippted me.  Guess next time I’ll stand in the store and look for the coupons before I purchase the papers.

I am exhausted.  Being pregnant requires that I pee 5 times a night.  Oh and the dog has to pee a couple times too.  Oh and baby girl needs to wake up in middle of the night for a refresher.  We’ll add a newborn baby to the mix soon.  Oh what fun..

Baby girl has found a Christmas toy, puppy dog with a bone, that sings “Jingle Bells”.  Christmas in June and bab ygirl singing it to the best of her abilities..

Thank you to all my friends.

May you all have a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!

It's Party Time

Hi There,

Well I am packing up the house like a crazy person. I know it is only a 3 hour drive and only one night, but with 4 kids? It will be interesting to say the least.

The concert/food drive is in need now more than ever. Remember the little town I told you about, the one I grew up in? Well the major employer (employs 75% of the town) just laid off 90 workers and thinks their are more to come. It will soon be a ghost town because there are not many places to work there.

We are hitting the concert, well have to hehehe, hubby’s gonna play a few songs with his bro and even my teenager is gonna sing.

Oh and I am making a “pig picken” cake. What’s that? A cake that makes ya wanna pig out. I’ll post the recipe later.

Have a wonderful weekend. I’ll try and post some pics soon.
