Zentangle

Hi everyone! I'm back. So, it's time to get CRAFTY!

Have you ever heard of zentangle? How about zendoodle? In a nutshell, it's my favorite way to make simple shapes look complicated. You decorate lines with circles, letters with lines, and hearts with all 3. It's a form of stress release, and is really fun! Here is a few good links to help you get started on your zentangleing journey.

COOKIES!

Hi everyone! First of all, this is a shout out to M and K, you know who you are. Thanks for being the first people who I didn't have to beg to go onto my blog!

Second of all, who likes COOKIES? I sure do! Do you know cookies are both smart, and crafty? And in addition, they taste good. I've been going through a bit of a cookie craze lately. So, I am going to share my experiences with you. The following links lead to my three favorite cookie recipes.

Chocolate-Vanilla Swirl Cookies - Impressive and delicious for a cookie exchange!

Alright. The chocolate and vanilla ones above are heavenly. When you mix in the flower, don't panic when you think that it won't turn into dough. It will. Trust me.




The red velvet crinkles are super fluffy and were a big hit. They pack well, and are great warm or cold. My trick is to sprinkle an extra layer of powdered sugar over the entire tray right before popping them into the oven.
