I have never (and I mean never) been a holiday cookie baker.  But as I was flipping through an Avon book I found these 3D cookie cutters and I knew that I would just have to give them a try.

Seriously, these look like fun.  You know how the kids sometimes run for cover when you try to get them to help you out with a little holiday baking?  With these, I believe that they will be a will participant.

What comes in the package:

~ Makes 6 different 3D cookie shapes.
~ Angel
~ Bell
~ Star
~ Reindeer
~ Snowman
~ Christmas Tree

The baking supplies are dishwasher safe and make pretty good size cookies.

 
Rules:

* Mandatory Entry: Just leave a comment telling me what your favorite cookie is.  Pretty simple, eh?

Extra entries (optional):

* Follow my blog publicly via GFC (1 entry).
* Follow me on twitter [please leave your twitter name in your post] (1 entry).

* I do not sell email addresses.  Your information is kept private and for my eyes only.
* Winner will have 72-hours to respond to winning email or another winner will be picked.
* Giveaway is open to residents of the USA only.
* This giveaway ends on October 12th, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. est.

Meet Me Monday

Head on over to a wonderful blog that is run by Java. On Mondays she has a way for blogger (and non blogger)peeps to get together to learn a little bit about each other by responding to 5 questions and then linking your blog up, and I am happy to participate in this.

Do you want to check it out as well?? Sure you do, just click here, its easy and painless and then answer the questions on your blog (or in java's comment section) and add your link:




The questions of the week are:

1. How many TV’s do you have in your home?
2. What is on your bedside table (nightstand)?
3. How many pair of shoes do you own?
4. Can you change a flat tire?
5. Do you prefer sweet treats or salty treats?



How many TV's do you have in your home?

Just a couple. One that was many years old just had the picture tube blow in it.

What is on your bedside table (nightstand)?

The clock and a lamp. Sometimes a magazine or two as well.

How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Not many. I have my sneakers and a pair of shoes.

Can you change a flat tire?

Oh yes. This is one thing that everyone should know how to do. Getting those lug nuts off though is a hassle.

Do you prefer sweet treats or salty treats?

Okay, straight up: I love chocolate. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, doesn't matter, I love it. So, I would have to go with sweet treats. I have to admit though that I do love chocolate covered pretzels as well.

Have a great week everyone.

Feel Good Friday



Brought to you by the letters F,G,F (been watching way to much Sesame Street) and The Girl Next Door Grows Up.

It has actually been a couple of weeks (maybe more) since I have participated in this. Just seems like Fridays come and go and its the end of the day before I realize that I haven't chatted about what made me feel good.

One of the things that made me feel good this week is the update that was done on my blog. My friend Angela over at MommyPR really hooked me up, and I have gotten a bunch of positive responses from it. I really like it. Of course, as I'm typing this out at 6:00 a.m., as the house is all quiet, a ladybug is crawling up my arm. Coincidence?? I had to brush him/her off though because, yes, ladybugs do bite, but that is a whole separate post.

What else made me feel good? Well it just happened. The Girl Next Door was talking about their upcoming road trip and it brought back alot of fun memories I had with Mom. Her and I would get in the vehicle and just go. Most of the time it was to go and catch up with her Aunt, my Great Aunt Dora, who was on the road somewhere with Smokey's. It would just be her and I. Later, we use to go to the casino together and spend the night. Even when she got sick, she would still want to go. I treasure those moments. I miss those moments.

So, everyone, how was your week?
