CookieCrazie's Week in Review

_________________________________________________

Personal Side

I'm surviving my "full time job" so far. I've worked three days this week....and only have two left.

Wow.....I have a healthy appreciation for all of you working moms out there.....it's tough!

No cookies this week. :(

BUT.....I was able to take last week's cookies in to share with my coworkers on Monday....

and it brought lots and lots of smiles.

That's the best!

I just found out about Operation Cookie Takeover.

It is a wonderful effort to send lots and lots of cookies to our troops in Afghanistan.

Hopefully next week I can plan the cookies and then get them
made & shipped the following week.

The deadline to ship is March 22.....so there's only a window of time.

Maybe some of you can help too.

I've been busy editing tons of cookie photos....so I have lots to share in the coming weeks.

Just gotta get one more week of work done.

What a pleasant relief it will be. :)

Instagram photos for this week:
 
Spring patchwork....

Random spring cookies.....

Little lambkin cookies.....

 I love to do patterns. :)

Part of my Fabric & Buttons Collection....

I'm excited! Today I made a grain free, low carb, sugar free Brownie Cheesecake!
I'm a happy camper. Something indulgent for a change.....
Here's the recipe for Brownie Cheesecake.

I'm so behind with photo editing......
I'm determined to get caught up by this weekend.
This is my mindless task to do when I finally get off work each day
(after a super mind stretching day of learning new software in the lab).
Thankfully I can listen to loud uplifting music while I do it.  :)

Heehee.... I love these lambs. :)

Quilt & Sewing Collection

The entire quilt collection together.......

And the entire quilt & sewing collection all in one photo. 

I've been baking and decorating like a mad woman this week....and used my new camera on cookie pics yesterday for the first time. It's a dream! I'm so excited (and grateful!) to have such clear nice photos with such ease. 

Only six days left until Ukraine trip. Today I'm working on 120+ small cookies to take to the Ukrainian people. I've got flowers, lady bugs, butterflies, and tea pots. :)

I'll try to keep posting up to the time I leave......but no guarantees. I have to work (hospital) tomorrow (Sat) and Monday. That's why I had to get all the cookies done before the weekend. Once I finish work on Monday.....I only have two full days to finish packing and be ready to leave Thursday morning. Within those two days, my daughter leaves for a 9 week summer missions trip to Cleveland and my son comes home from a 4 1/2 month mission trip to Africa. Talk about a crazie house!!

But it's all good. So thankful. :)
