Queen of Grand Ambitions

I don't know what I was thinking when I decided I would make cookies for the girls to take to school for Valentine's day. Thankfully I had the foresight to quadruple the batch. In the end I needed ninety two cookies to bake and ice for school. So. not. smart. Don't get me wrong, I love to bake -- and ice cookies, but ninety two times (plus the extra twenty five or so to use up the last of the icing) gets to be a little ridiculous.


I DID say I would be busy until this evening, didn't I :o)?

Oh and here are the two completed Valentine projects I made:

This wreath is supposed to be in the shape of the heart, but I think I needed to make it bigger to give it the full effect. I also need to finish cutting all the ribbon ends on an angle. First I have to find my little cutting scissors though....

Happy Wednesday!

  9. You are Amazing! Did you do all those cookies without the help of the children? I didn't make any this year as there was a bad bug in the house and I didn't want to accidentally share that along with the cookies. But even so, I find it so much easier to make this sort of cookie with a helper...even a little one that can paint the icing on the still warm cookies while I cut out another batch.
