Hi cookie friends.....it has been way too long since I wrote a post here.

My Ukraine trip was fabulous! There's way to much to share here in one short blog post, so if you want to hear more, you can drop by my crazie commitment blog to read about it.

I've been home from the Ukraine for two weeks, but been very busy getting things done around here before my foot surgery. Thus.....I didn't get to bake and decorate any cookies as I'd hoped. :-( Sad day.

A little history on me and my fam......we've spent the last year finishing our basement in our new house, and it was finally completed while I was in the Ukraine. My family surprised me with it when I got home. :-) Happy girl......

So for the last two weeks, I've been unpacking our garage that was filled with all our basement stuff, and getting everything in order all through the house. And then I did some deep cleaning. Yeehaw! It was awesome. My house is probably cleaner now than it has ever been. It will put my mind at rest while I have my surgery and recover....that my house is in tip top shape. Of course, I'm sure it will also make me a bit irritated when everyone messes it all up while I'm laying in bed. lol

I hope to collect ideas for cookie designs while I am recovering.....getting ready for the fall and all the cookies I will make. Can't wait!!!

I'll keep you posted (ha ha) on how surgery and recovery goes. Thanks for being here.
