CookieCrazie's Week in Review

_________________________________________________

Personal Side
Can you believe it is March 1. Wow......

I've been diligently preparing to be come a "full time" employee starting next week.

The hospital lab is undergoing a major software change, 

and I'll be working lots these next two weeks.

Thankfully I got some cookies decorated this week.

They'll be no time or energy to get back to it for a few weeks.....

I had a blow out day on Tuesday......just couldn't decorate much of anything.

Lots of dear friends in the cookie world encouraged and loved on me.

And the next day.....things were much better. :)

I'm hoping to keep things running fairly normal here on the blog.....

but if you don't hear from me as often, it is because I'm just too whipped by my job.

We're gearing up for the Ukraine trip in June.

This week we gathered most of the supplies we'll need for the ministries.

We plan to ship them soon.....since it takes almost 2 months for a package to arrive there.

It will be so nice to ship almost all of it so that we don't have to stuff our suitcases to the brim.

I leave for my trip at the beginning of June.....so it is only three months away.

Oh my......that's scary. haha

Instagram photos for this week:
 
More birthday sweetness.....

The snow outside makes for great lighting possibilities inside. :)

Birthday calendar cookies....

Pandas!! :)

Birthday balloons.....

Birthday cupcakes.....

:( It's one of THOSE days. I just don't have it in me to pipe anymore.

I'm hoping the dreary rainy day is the culprit.

The glaze colors are not what I'd hoped and I just lost all the desire in just six cookies......

They'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Hopefully it will be a better day.

(Please tell me you have days like this!)

I needed a smile this morning. How about you? :)

Already a much better decorating day. Thanks everyone for all your encouragement. :) ❤

 Easter minis.....nice and simple :)

CookieCrazie's Week in Review

_________________________________________________

Personal Side

A much better week.

Right now I'm sitting here writing this during a terrible winter storm.

We've got heavy snow and lots of wind. CRAZIE!

I feel like I need to whip out the snowmen and snowflake cutters. lol

I'm getting use to my MacBook.

Each day gets a little better.

I'm learning Photoshop.

I am still super slow.....and haven't actually edited any photos yet, 

but I'm feeling a little more ready to try it.

Here's the deal.

We're getting ready to make a HUGE software change at the hospital lab next weekend

(my "real" job).

So I've got change all around me.

Some days, I don't think my brain can handle all the stretching.

But I'm sure I'll be a much stronger person once I've passed through all this fire. :)

This week I did birthday cookies.

I was only able to decorate one day this week, but it was pure bliss.

And I feel like I'm getting faster and faster with my decorating....which is very exciting.

I only have one more "free week".....and then I have to work nearly full time for two weeks at my job.

Yikes! 

That means no cookies. :(

So hopefully I'll have time to do a few next week.

I've got lots of cool Easter ideas, but I may not get the chance to implement them this year.

Our software transition runs right into the week before Easter. : /

Instagram photos for this week:

Note: These Instagram photos go all the way back to the beginning of last week.

Buzzin' right into Valentines day this week..... ❤

 Moving to spring colors and spring flowers. :)

They make me smile. I hope they have you smiling too.
We need regular doses of happy cookies amongst all the "stuff" in life, don't we? :)

Spring texture.....

I wish you all a very Happy Valentines Day filled with lots of love and sweet treats. :)

Puppy love for Joe. :)

My new little buddy......we are already best buds and it's only been one day. :)
Best Valentines blessing.

Look at these beauties I just got at Hobby Lobby. :) Time for a fun photo shoot. :)

Sneak peek at my Easter egg collection. :)

Pretty little basket of flower cookies. :)

Butterflies...... :)

 From Mickey to ???? Any guesses?

My funky patchwork "eggs".

I'm back in my happy place today.
And oh....look....my new little laptop buddy is joining me. :)
It's a blessed day, for sure.

heehee They are coming together. Remember the Mickey cutter?
I can't wait to finish these cuties tomorrow. :)

Birthday cookies......

It went from nothing to near blizzard in just a matter of hours.
What a winter storm!!
I just gave a neighbor some cookies for helping with the driveway.
Instead of spring eggs and flower cookies, it should have been snowmen cookies. ;)
