Home Sweet Home!

I had the opportunity to decorate cookies over the weekend that I had NEVER done before!!!

A girlfriend of mine was headed to a housewarming and asked for some cookies to bring as a hostess gift.

I said "Sure!  What kind of cookies would you like?"  and she said "Whatever you want."

That's my FAVORITE answer!!!

Ooooohh I had so much fun deciding what to make!

First came the keys and welcome mats.

Then more keys and a few doors.

Some 'Home Sweet Home' signs.

More signs.

These are my favorites...SOLD!

There's also a big cookie with their new address on it.

I was thinking the new owners probably wouldn't appreciate that splashed all over the internet,

 so I covered it for the picture.

All wrapped up and ready to go!

Enjoy your new home Marc and Cindy!  I hope its filled with many happy memories!

Signs of Summer!

Isn't it funny how we all have a different sign that summer is here?

For some it's the arrival of their favorite fruit in the produce aisle.  Others wait for the sunshine to last until after dinner.

I think most kids agree that if school is out, it's summer for sure!  (still another 1 1/2 weeks for the munchkins in SoCal.)

For me....its tan feet.  Tan Feet!  How silly is that!

The first few days the flip-flops come out of hiding are rather scary....feet glowing with paleness.

But, its been a few weeks.  There are flip-flops in the hallway, the garage, by the front-door, back-door...

In the KITCHEN!!!!!!!

Get in here and Put Your Shoes Away!!!!

...oh wait, those are mine....they can stay right there.

(On second thought, put them all in the laundry room.  Nothing going on in there anyway)

Yes, the tootsies are finally looking a little tan.  They have seen sunlight (alright maybe they've the self-tanner bottle too...)

Summer's here!!!!

How do you know its summer?

Linky Parties!

Thirty Handmade Days

What would you do...?

What would you do if your washer stopped working?


(Washing machine...not a washer that no longer comes to your house to wash things)


What if that washer stopped working the day before your son's big baseball game?


And then that boy gets really, really dirty and really, really likes towels?


How about when the machine part is finally delivered, and its the wrong part....twice?


And the warehouse doesn't understand why it won't fit...and tells the technician to try harder?


What if on the 14th day without that washer the technician says, "This issue will have to go to the research department" and makes your next appointment 10 days from that day?


Hm.....


You want to know what I did?





I made margaritas....

help yourself!  (just try not to spill...I'm out of towels)

I do!

I love to look through wedding magazines.  Even more than gossipy ones!

They're just so pretty!

Somewhere between the flowers, invitations, jewelry, parties and vacations I always end up inspired by something!!

I've been drooling over the latest Martha Stewart Wedding magazine for the past few weeks....

and couldn't stop thinking about the dresses!!

This one had pockets!!!  Pockets!!  

(couldn't quite figure out how to make a cookie pocket though...)

How glamourous is this!  

I could wear that to drop off the kids at school...right?

Thanks for stopping by,
