Shipping Out Presents

Well, finally Monday is here and I get to head out to the Post Office in just a bit to ship out all these boxes of cookies for the family down in Albany. A lot of cookies that I hope arrive safe and sound. Bad thing about shipping cookies - you basically have to pray every time you ship them out and hope for a small miracle. Thankfully the Christmas ones all arrives...

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is quickly approaching and I could not send a care package down to Albany for all the April/May birthdays without sending one for Mother's Day to Ma. Now, I had already posted one set of cookies that I did for Mother's Day. Those didn't go to any mother. In fact my kids devoured them not too long after I had finished taking pictures. Thankfully I took pictures...

Wedding Cookies

Sadly, about a year ago, I missed out on a very important date, my baby sister getting married. We had just moved out to Washington and the wedding was in south Georgia. Needless to say there was slim chance to make it out there. Well, I wanted to be able to give her the wedding gift I couldn't before and it turns out I couldn't have before the wedding anyways. You see,...

And here we are, at number 3 for today. I know, but hey, there are a lot and I honestly don't want the niftyness of one to get lost in a mass publication on one post. So this is better. This is one geared towards the Southern Gentleman, my step dad. You see, he actually lives on one of those story book plantations, takes care of it. Had raised pointer dogs for probably...

Mommy, I want a Pony!

Every girl at one point in her life, or so I am told, asks for a pony. It is an on going joke in most movies and TV shows when you have that little girl. "Mommy! I want a pony!!!" Well, it isn't too far from the truth. You see one of my sisters is into horses. In fact most of the pictures I see of her is when she is out riding. So, trying to figure out what to do for her...

It's My Birthday

And I hate it! It is no small secrete that I hate birthdays. Well I hate mine, I love everyone else's. And it doesn't have to do with aging. Speaking frankly I like growing older and am looking forward to days of wrinkles, snow white hair and senility. My dream is to grow up to be Dorthy Spornack, that or Sophia Petrillo. Either way. I will be a Golden Girl...

Quick Update

Well, thanks to a few things coming through I am now dabbling in the edible images department. I started out by ordering a few and now am printing my own. YAY! I love it! For many it would be a quick and easy way to add zest, and for me it is as well, but more than that. Now I can take all those digital art works I create and make them even better by making them sweet!!!!...

I "<3" Mom. That is what we all say come Mother's Day. The one day of the year where people are pretty much forced to stop everything they are doing and do everything mom does every day, or at least that is what I think it should be. LOL You know, Mom's Day Off. (What ever that is.) What usually ends up happening is Dad yells at the kids the last minute to go make mom...

Unless....

And all that the Lorax left here in this mess was s small pile of rocks, with one word...."Unless."  - Dr. Seuss Words that have been etched in the minds of so many over the years. How many of us sat in class as children and had The Lorax read to us? How many times did we catch the cartoon special on Saturday Mornings? And you know you teared up every last time that...
