sewing project

I've had a fun time with my house guest these past 3 days. We are going to bake more sugar cookies today. We made the dough yesterday. These will go to the church for a kids party this weekend. They will do the decorating. The two of us will probably decorate a dozen or so for her to take to her family and to send to a college student. Last night I showed her how to make a make-up bag. I will post a photo later today since I didn't take one last night after we finished the project. She had to do some ripping of seams-so she asked me if I was teaching her this project as a punishment!!!

Photo of the valentine cookies

Here is a photo of some of the cookies my sister and I decorated and mailed out to the kids. Enjoy!!! I'm going to make another batch this weekend for my valentine's party I have for about 12 friends. We have a fabulous time!

Valentine Cookies

I was blessed this past weekend by a visit from my sister and her hubby. It was a short but fun filled time. We were able to find time to decorate these sugar cookies. My sister is very creative, and I get ideas from her. We were able to decorate about 4 dozen cookies and I mailed out 6 packages to my kids, my MIL, and a friend who moved away from me. What a blessing it is to have sisters. The photo will be published as soon as blogspot fixes the problems they are having, which is this evening, apparently.

Tippsy snowman update

Each day is taking it's toll on our tall snowman!! It snowed about 2 inches yesterday and surprisingly the snow man is still in an upright position-not much but still up!!

Augustine volcano

Well, Augustine volcano isn't finished puffing yet. We are fortunate that the ash isn't reaching us yet. Hopefully, it will settle down very soon. This has been a bother to the airline traffic, and will be such a bother if it reaches us.

Not a good plan

Well, painting of the doors down the hall wasn't a good idea after all!! For some reason they don't look very nice. I did the prime coat then painted with a roller but the doors just don't look that good. So needless to say, we will have to purchase new ones after all. It was a lot of work. I got my exercise for the week with this ordeal, so something good came out of it. :) It looks a lot brighter down the hall way so that is another plus to it all.
