Damask Cookies

I was looking at my decorative pillow on my bed the other day and decided I wanted to try and put that design on cookies. I think it turned out really well!

The 12 cookies create a giant image; if you look carefully you can see it, but the gaps between cookies makes it a little difficult.

Individually bagged and ready to go! (please ignore my fall decor)

Texas Army National Guard Cookies

Saturday afternoon I received an email from a woman requesting a dozen cookies to give to her husband this Wednesday when she picks him up from the airport. Her husband is in the Texas Army National Guard and has a 4-day pass to spend time with his family before an 11 month deployment to Afghanistan this Saturday.

Thank you for your service Joshua!!

A special thanks to Joshua and all the men and women for helping to protect our lives and freedom!

Ladybug Themed Cupcakes

Half are chocolate and the other half are vanilla!

Cookies for Barktoberfest

* 2010, 8th Annual Barktoberfest *

Saturday, September 18th 9:30a- 2 pm at Old Settlers Park

Saturday morning I will be volunteering at Barktoberfest bright and early to help set up for the day's activities. I also baked lots of cookies and pooch treats to sell for the bake sale.

This is a wonderful event to help raise money and to help to save innocent pet lives and to find orphans a forever home!

What can you expect? Fun, games, food, cake walks, moonwalks, face painting, arts & crafts, a 3k walk and a dog costume contest!

Come out! Bring your dog! Support the SPCA!!

9/21/10 Update: Special thanks to everyone who came out! We earned $9,000!!

Homemade Oreos

I tried making a recipe I found online, homemade oreos! They are a little bigger and have less preservatives, but still do not come close to tasting like an actual oreo. They are, however, delicious and quite addictive! I have no self control when it comes to eating oreos, so I try not to have them in our house at all. One oreo just is not enough! But, if I am going to over indulge, these are better for me, right?! =D
