Valentine Sugar Cookies

Hey everyone, I would love for you to visit my new facebook page and like and share it!

There is a FREE fun family subway art for you to print over there.

Last night I finally bit the bullet and made some of my sugar cookies.

 I resist doing this every year because they are 1) a little bit time consuming, 2) messy to make and 3)  I cannot resist eating them…at all!  (Which is not a good thing!)

Washi Cupcake Stands

I have been cleaning, organizing and throwing out a bunch of stuff all last week.  It feels so good.  I cleaned out my office/craft room and a big closet, cupboards and drawers.  Then I started in the kitchen and now  I need to keep going and get my kitchen all done.  That is my next goal.  I love it when I get the cleaning bug and can get a lot done because I really don’t get it very often, so I had better go for it while I can!  When you clean everything out, you can see what you have (or rather how much you have!) and so when I organized all of  my washi tape I decided that I needed to do a project with some of it!

So here is fun little  idea using your washi tape that would be perfect for a little tea party, a shower, a birthday, or even for weddings!

Stuffed French Bread

Today I have a  great recipe that is one of my “go-to” recipes for an easy, quick, yummy meal that most all kids like (which is an accomplishment in and of itself!)

I made this for our super bowl party yesterday and I made enough to feed an army!  But what we had left over, got taken home for leftovers!  We had all kinds of finger foods like wings, Con Queso and chips, spinach dip, potato skins, relish plate and yummy PB brownies!

Not great diet food, but yummy party food!

Cherry Cheesecake Cups

It has been a long time since I have posted a recipe, especially a dessert recipe.

As I said yesterday, my husband had been gone and so I did not do any cooking!  It was great for the diet!  I lived on canned soup and scrambled eggs.  I can honestly diet quite well, when I don’t have to cook for anyone else! :)

But he came back and so I decided to celebrate a bit with a dessert in the middle of the week!

I made these  delicious Cherry Cheesecake Cups!

Sweet Valentines Recipe Book

Can I just start off today by saying that my husband has been gone for 2 weeks and I am sooo glad that he is back home again.  I enjoyed the break of no cooking, going out to lunch, playing and shopping with friends, for about a week or 10 days, but then it gets lonely being here by myself and I was more than ready for him to come home and take care of all the everyday stuff .  I really missed his friendship and his companionship!  So welcome home honey!

Today I have a fun little review of a cookbook that I love!  This is not a sponsored post, it is just something that I wanted to share with you because it is one of my favorite recipe books!  I said that it is a sweet Valentines recipe book, because:

It is called: Cooking for Two by Debbie G. Harman

My 5 top posts for 2012

This is a post that I shared at Ginger Snap Crafts last week and decided that I would now share it with you.  It was fun to go back through the last year and review some of the projects and recipes.  This is really a good exercise for all of us to do.  Look back through your journals, calendars, or notebooks and take a look at all the things that you accomplished throughout this last year.  It is really quite rewarding to recognize all the things you have completed or overcome!  You should really do this!

 My top five posts from last year:

The most viewed and most pinned post was:

My Cute Car Kit.

 This is a great way to lighten up your purse and yet still have all the things that you would need while you are out carpooling and driving kids  from place to place,  running errands, etc. etc. etc.  (Do you sometimes feel like you live in your car?)
