pinterest saturday

hello everyone

hope your saturday is going well here are my favorite pins for this week

this diaper baby basket is so cute great for that baby shower gift and so easy to make

I love these butterfly sugar cookies  there so pretty with the colored sugar on them

got a little one who likes the minions from despicable me ??? now you can make your own minion cake for their birthday

I love this crocheted turtle pillow it looks so cute and cuddly and child would love to receive him

this dishtowel pillow is so easy to make and there are so many beautiful tea towels you can do this with i personally think doing throw pillow would be better as tea towels can be quite rough sometimes i prefer a soft pillow myself

this looks so fun for the kids why not have glowing bath water from bath time its only made with 1 ingredient tonic water, so cool

linking up to this party 

thats all for this week until next time happy pining 

christmas recipe peppermint blossom cookies

found this recipe today just in time for christmas on abc's 25 days of christmas advent calender 

 Pillsbury Peppermint Blossoms

INGREDIENTS:

1 roll (30 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated peppermint cookies
6 tablespoons sugar
72 Hershey®'s Kisses® Brand candy can flavored candies, unwrapped

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat oven to 350°F.
2. In bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour until well blended. Shape dough into 72 (1-inch) balls. Roll balls in sugar in shallow bowl. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
3. After removing from oven, immediately top each cookie with 1 candy, pressing down firmly so cookie cracks around edge. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely before storing.

time to move & cookie parties

it's been so long since i blogged i had some personal issues to deal with but i'm back well gotta move again due to some fire codes that were broken by the landlord so they have to tear the whole apartment up so i end up having to move but i only have 60 days....... ugh , well today was surfing the net and found a neat party to do for christmas and since i will be in a new place for christmas with more room i think i will do this it's a christmas cookie exchange the idea is to make cookies enough for six dozen or so cookies and enough copies of the cookie recipe for each person to take home the recipe and some cookies so you have lots of christmas cookie ideas that you can make for the holidays thought it was a neat idea here is the site i found the article on

ice pack wrap & slice cookies

i was browsing my usaul blogs i like to read and found two great ideals one is this very neat ice pack wrap you can make with a siple tea towel all you do is sew a pocket on it and then sew velcro on the sides and pop a ice pack in the pocket and wrap it around your leg and this way you can walk around if you need to i think you could make a smaller version for the kids if you wanted to maybe i just might try making a smaller one for my friend instructions are found on this lovely ladies site
