i can't think of one

Friday, December 05, 2008

Wow. I can't believe how many of you thought that I was crazy about my feelings for the skirt! Thank you so much for your input.  I will definitely give it a chance.  I promise.  
I ordered a little something from Heather's Etsy shop.  You should see this piece of  handmade art.  Sequins.  Beads.  Totally sweet.  I know the perfect gift that this will top.  And then the recipient can hang it on one of her drawer pulls.  Or a doorknob.  And enjoy it all year long.
And, for cookie of the week, Keana sent me a link to this recipe.  I didn't have the dulce de leche caramel (who does?).  So, a little raid through the kids halloween candy and I scored some caramels. Melted those and that worked fine.  (I also tossed that halloween candy.  Finally.) And the little chocolate that was supposed to be drizzled on top?  I got a little preoccupied and forgot all about it.  They are still delicious without it.


Have a wonderful weekend!

    Your cookies are beatiful! I have to admit, I kind of like them better without the chocolate drizzle.

  15. that heart almost looks like it's made up of fresh pomegranate seeds! :-)
    Cookies look yummy. I had to make more 'pumpkin daisies' for Kristen the other day, she just loves them. I added choc chips again and drizzled them with orange icing. I took pics but haven't had a chance to blog about them - something I can do when I have no knitting to share!

    When i first saw the pattern i was jealous of whoever would be wearing it. Then when you showed yourself in it and thought you looked unflattered with it, i wanted to strangle you and hug you at the same time.

    It just doesnt matter what size we are, we arent happy.

    The skirt really did look good on you. I hope you give it another chance.

  31. Raiding your kids candy, what a GENIUS idea! Although I fear that my raiding would not be for the greater good of baking for the family but rather my own craven desires for Mary Janes...

  32. The cookies look yummy. Maybe I'll have to try that recipe out myself.

    The skirt is gorgeous. Don't you dare recycle it. It suits you.

  34. You mean to tell me that your kids actually had Halloween candy left over this long? When I was a kid mine was gone within a week.

    The sequined ornament/gift topper is charming and sweet. It would be nice on Valentine's Day, too.

    And, oh my......the cookies look decadent!

  37. I grew up eating dulce de leche right out of the vat (back in the day, it didn't actually come in cans, and there was all that walking uphill both ways in the snow to get it) and so these cookies brought back some great memories for me - can't wait to make them! Thanks for the link!

  45. I've to say, I dont know if its the clashing colours or the unhealthy grammar, but this blog is hideous!

Its really interesting, however you dont characterize it properly in any respect, man. Anyway, in my language, there aren't much good source like this.

  46. Your blog is fine. I simply want to touch upon the design. Its too loud. Its doing approach an excessive amount of and it takes away from what youve got to say --which I think is basically important.
