Back to a Normal Life

My oldest daughter got married this past Saturday, Feb.23, 2008. It has been a whirlwind the past 3 months planning the whole thing. The day turned out to be a beautiful sunny day without any bad winter weather like we have had this year. Thank goodness! Now that the wedding is over, I can get back to crafting. Here is a pic of the 2 of them cutting the cake.

Sweets for your Sweetie

If you want to make something yummy for your sweetie for valentines day, I would suggest these Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies. I made these for christmas and they are the best!!!



Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies

1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. butter
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
2 1/4 c. flour

Combine and blend all ingredients except flour. When well mixed add flour. Chill for a couple of hours. Roll 1/3 of the dough at a time 1/4 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes or until just edges are light brown. Makes 5 to 6 dozen.

Winter Wonderland

Woke up today to more snow. So far about 5 inches and still coming down. Here is a black squirrel trying to find some breakfast among all the snow. Then later in the day looked out and saw a dove resting in the snow.
