Operation Baking Gals In the Mail!

By -
A few weeks ago I wrote about a group of women I joined called Operation Baking Gals. I belong to a team of women who have been sending baked treats to some special troops overseas this past week. Today I made some Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies from a recipe by my favorite baker, Dorie Greenspan. So off my cookies go along with some other treats, to some deserving soldiers across the world.

Thank-you for taking care of our soldiers out there. I've been meaning to get on a project like that but seem to be having some issues with 'time' these days. Sending our blessings to you and to those who are far away from their families and friends so we can be close to ours--without fear.

I really don't think it's a good idea to send treats to our soldiers without having them taste tested by experts like me. I would like to serve by being an official baking gals taste tester. You know my address.

Bad grammar. Just to clarify, I'm offering to taste test the treats.

I'm sleep deprived from a sick baby (I know, nothing likes our troops risking their lives on the front lines), but I think that is worth at least a half to full cookie.

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like. Mine were a combination of scrapbook paper, decorative tape from Martha Stewart and glitter.  The longest part was cutting all the strips and gluing them on, but once they are done it&

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
