Melt-a-way cookies!

My friend Sarah had this recipe for cookies on her blog once again this year, it was for her Grandmother Kima's cookies.

Now I don't bake very often because I am usually terrible at it! I really wanted to strive this year to try to bake a few things. Let me just tell you that these are sooooo wonderful! SERIOUSLY!!!!

You will just have to visit crafty Sarah to get the recipe!

I made mine very vibrant as you can see!!! Hahaha!

Sarah's are much prettier!!!!

But, they are deeelish, and that is all that matters!

Thank you Sarah for the great recipe share, my family will be so proud!

Shamelessly plugging my Sister!!!

I am disappointed that I was not able to make my creation for this weeks Cinema Challenge!

Work has kept me very busy....everyone wants to be beautiful for the holidays! Also I have had to make a TON of special ornaments for clients! That has been fun!!!!

I will just have to be late with some things for challenges....oh my always good intentions!

I really liked the inspiration this week, and

I have tons of this swimming in my head, you will just see them later!

I am off to bed...lots of hair to do in the morning, God bless STARBUCKS!!!

One rant before I sign off...No matter what anyone says Starbucks is better then Demon Donuts! I will pay the extra dollar to get my coffee made correctly!

(I have seen a bunch of blogs lately comparing the 2)

Do you know how many times I have walked away from the counter shaking my head at DD and just said "forget it, just forget it!"

AND my DH loves their donuts....well we go there through the drive thru and they say "we don't actually have donuts at this location" WHAT now com~mon, does Burger King run out of BURGERS???? It is in the TITLE!!!! Geesh!!!

Like I said God bless Starbucks! (yum)

I won!!!

I am honored to receive The Audrey Award for my Santa card that I made for Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge Week #8 Miracle on 34th Street! What a fun challenge!

12 Days of X-Mas Contest

Sooo I entered another contest, and this one is on Paper Craft Planet blog.

If you haven't already checked it out you really should!!!

The theme is the 12 Days of Christmas. Today being day 4...."4 Calling Birds"

Do you remember being a kid and playing the game telephone? By the time you got to the end of the line the whole topic was messed up and you would just laugh and laugh???

Well, that is what I did today with a holiday twist!

So here is my 4 Calling Birds" playing telephone!

((yes I am aware it is silly...no one said it had to be serious))

So here is the conversation (in case you can't see it)

"Happy Holidays"

"Happy & Amazed"

"Hopping in the Maze?"

"Shopping at MACY'S!"

Plus I thought that the ribbon on the bottom looked like an

old phone cord...who has those around anymore???

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge # 8

I recently discovered a new challenge blog that I thought was very interesting.

The two creative gals that created it pick a movie

every week for inspiration, fun huh!?!

So this weeks pick was

Miracle on 34th Street!

I love this movie, as most people do. Much like most remade movies I usually enjoy the original just a tad bit better then the new ones, although the remake was cute too. I am not sure why but things seem much more dramatic in black and white. When I was deciding my "take" on the movie I decided to make a black and white card. I started with my snow globe and put Santa's face in it, adding some stickle for snow. Then I created a night time snow scene, I love it in the winter when the snow is fresh and covering the trees, it doesn't look more magical then that! Using my white gel pen I wrote in the word "believe", then I stamped some candy canes around the border. I made a snowflake on black cs background and cut it out, also added a bit of glitter. I never made a black holiday card before so this was fun to get it to look pretty not grim.

The ladies at Cinema Saturday Challenge are giving away some yummie blog candy too so stop over there and say hi!

Or better yet get involved in these challenges!

My Talented Sister....

IS ON YOUTUBE!!! Please watch her videos and the drop by and say hi!!!

Her name was Lola, she was a show~BIRD...

Jeffrey, one of the stylists at work has a beloved baby African Grey Parrot. It is his BABY! The darn bird will even go in the shower with him!!! geesh too funny. Anyway she is a sweetie, I held her once and as soon as she hopped on my finger she shit all over the floor...I was glad it missed my shoe! Although some people say it is good luck to have a bird doo on you, well I can use all the good luck I can get!!!

When I brought the last batch of ornaments in to the salon Jeffrey went nuts over this little bird, and ask if maybe I could just make it colored like Lola... I didn't tell him, but I figured I could do one better!
Yes this is an original hand drawn/painted Lola on top of a tree, holding holly!
He is just gonna love it!!!
I couldn't get it to photograph right, but in the corner it says her name!

Sweet Peas

This is the little card I made to go with my gift that I posted yesterday!

Have a great week!
