Ever have a busy day and you know you should be getting shut eye, but the adrenaline just keeps pumping? I am getting there, very tired and yawning. Wednesday I made 4 kinds of cookies-Butter flavored Crisco Chocolate Chips (the best recipe), 7 layer cookies (from a box mix-so skimpy, I’ll make more), Russian Tea cakes and last but not least, Rum Raisin Cheesecake squares. Two were in a pan, so not too hard to make. My CCs are a little brown, I swear the first batch gets that way. Today I’m trying new recipes…involving ice cream caramel sauce, macadamia nuts, peanuts and peanut butter cookie dough-not in one cookie recipe! I have a ton of Reese’s peanut butter cups I should sub for Hershey kisses in that blossom recipe.
I’ve been watching ‘Clash of the Choirs’ as I’ve been in so many. It would have been awesome to be in the Patti LaBelle one! I sing soprano, but I can sing lower if I wanted to. : )
Wish my friend Barbara well, she may be welcoming her little kiddle into the world today! Good luck!
Collages & Creative Goodness 
I think we’ve all been having those very busy days lately…I get into bed at night completely exhausted!! I’m really feeling my age now! lol I think I can finally say that I have everything done and now I can relax until Christmas Day itself:-) I so enjoyed seeing those older pictures of you…don’t we all wish we had those tiny waists again! lol And look at your first Christmas tree when you got married…precious! Best of luck to your friend Barbara…a new baby for Christmas, how wonderful:-) xox
rum raisin cheesecake squares……MMMMMMM…sounds good.
I still have not baked any cookies. Hopefully I find time to do at least one kind this weekend.
How exciting for Barbara! I wish her the best.
