Cookie Kits

I have been thinking of selling Cookie Kits for a couple of years now and my sister in law gave me the insentive to get them started. She asked me if I would help her by making them so she could sell them as a fund raiser for her home school co-op. Of course I said yes!

these are the ideas I came up with

they are 2 sheets of rolled out sugar cookie dough. With 4, 2 oz packets of frosting





(I didnt get a picture of this color combo with the cookie sheets)


These ones are have 12 pre-cut cookies






these are the flier and order forms I made.

Art? appreciation...

Kevin has been taking an art appreciation class to finish off his bachelors degree and had to go to some art galleries. He invited me to go along so we left the kids with the in laws and headed out. I knew that I have a narrow view of what are is but i couldn't believe what passes at art these days. For example this is something I've been doing in church since... well for a long time

put it on a 5x5 foot canvas and you have a 2500 dollar art piece









ok I can kind of see how that can be considered art... anyone want to buy mine?




But this...






When did the bar code on my groceries turn in to art?


I saw a canvas painted blue, granted different shades of blue, with 7 of these bar codes pasted on. They looked like they could fall off at any moment too.
Anyone want to guess what the artist was asking for price was?

20?
no
30?
no
50???
nope
100???
wrong again :)
ill just tell you cause this could take awhile...


950.00


Tell you what,

let me make one for you and Ill only charge you 900, mkay?

This is all opinion so I hope I haven't offended anyone reading who may enjoy art that makes a statement. the statement I like my art to make is... I'm obviously a mountain scene, or an ocean seen, or a person lounging on the beach or... well I think you get my gist

I am done!

I think I may just be done changing diapers. Well,my own kids, I still have to change the babe I am watching daily. Now back to my kids though,
I believe Ally is finally potty trained! The lights went on in her head on Monday and she has been dry the whole week and through the night the last two days!
What a relief it is... such a weight off my shoulders... I was beginning to think she was going to turn 4 in pullups :)

need a laugh?

This is HILARIOUS! Call the Nestle Chocolate Hotline at 1-800-295-0051. When asked if you want to continue in English or Spanish, wait quietly for about 10 seconds and you will smile. Keep going and press 4. Then press 7. If you comment on this, DON'T GIVE AWAY THE SURPRISE!

Marcia Lynn McClure (my all time favorite author!) posted this to her Facebook profile, I had a hard time getting through but with patience it is worth it for a laugh. I havnt tried the other options but plan on it :)

Elijah: I'm starving mom... mom, I am starving
Mom: Get something to eat then
Elijah: Ok
Ally: Im farting mom... my tummys farting

oh the things kids hear wrong

"Nothing?"

mom, seeing a brown covered face and fingers being licked: what are you eating, Ally?
Ally: nothing?
Dad: what was it covered in?
Ally: Chocolate!
