Am I CRAZIE or What?
OK......so I got a little obsessed this week. I decided I wanted to make Valentine cookies for several groups of people....so instead of two batches of cookies (around 40+) I made four batches (80+). So I lay them all out on Monday at 10 AM and start working.....and before I know it is 7 PM and I'm only half way through!!!! I wanted to make some fun, different designs and they took lots of time.
SO.....I put the rest away and got them out on Tuesday to finish. After a few more hours I finally got them done!!! What was I thinking??!!
Well I ended up with some designs I love, but my hand is still screaming at me for the marathon I was on. :-)
Here's my favorite cookie out of all 80+ cookies. This patchwork idea just came to mind on Sunday night and I could hardly wait to try it out on Monday. :-)))))))
Here's the large patchwork hearts and then the next picture is of the smaller ones.
I repeated this "sweater design" (note to Pam H.....I was listening) from last time.....I really like how these turn out.
Here's just a basic one with three colors....and I love this fuscia color.
We did our packing party tonight for Treat the Troops. What joy there is in sending our precious soldiers in Iraq some home baked and lovingly decorated cookies. :-)))))))

Here's a bunch of random stitched hearts.
And here's all my smaller hearts. I love that little folk heart cutter. :-)

I had hoped to make some Valentine cookie bouquets for the family tomorrow....but after analyzing the last few days....I decided I've done enough this week and I need to let these cookies be it for the holiday. (Why does Valentines Day have to come so fast. ;-))
Happy Valentines Day to you all! Be sure to let your loved ones know how much you love and appreciate them.
