Baby It's Cold Outside

Well...it's the first day back to school 

after the holidays...

It was SO hard to get out of bed...

especially when you could hear the wind howling...
and knowing that

Good thing I have the perfect outfit...

Happy Tuesday!

Sweet Friday - Christmas Cookies

Well yesterday Goosie Girl was home sick...

so I took advantage of our down time 

to whip up some Christmas cookies...

I used a vintage turquoise & pink color combo...

I really like how it turned out...

First, I redid my preppy stockings...
(the hand painted didn't work out...they never dried properly)

 and added a touch of chevron...

then I moved on to snowmen...

I love these little guys...

and what's Christmas without trees...

 with some sparkly stars...

add them all together...

Of course these would be perfect
 for all your holiday festivities...

a hostess gift...

or a sweet treat for someone special...

Get yours here...

Pink & Purple Penguin Party

I am just LOVING this party

from Glorious Treats...

When Goosie Girl sees this

Ways To Spend A Winter Morning

I like these ideas from Lox Paper

on how to spend a winter morning...

Wish I was doing that today...

maybe tomorrow...

Doughnut Holes

Wouldn't these be a good morning treat

if your child had these waiting for breakfast?

They are the cutest aren't they?

And to think they are doughnut holes...

Fun Snowmen Drinks

Wouldn't these be the perfect addition to your winter party whether it was for children or adults?

A glass of milk takes on new deliciousness with doughnut-hole snowmen heads. Outfit powdered doughnut holes with eyes and a nose made of edible food clay. Pierce a hole through the center of the doughnut using a skewer and fit in a straw. Make a miniature scarf for the glass from orange yarn and trim it with scrapbook brads in the shape of snowflakes.
