Superbowl cookies

Well... the Superbowl is over but the cookies were delicious!



Jerseys and pennants. The jerseys had the QB numbers


Packers Pennant


Roethlisberger's jersey

Finished cookies!

I think these turned out great for not having any frosting bags at all (I used Ziploc bags to do the piping). Now you can chose which team you want to root for. I found these wonderful cookie cutters from Michael's (the craft store). I love making these wonderful sugar cookies.

Idea for Christmas Craft

A friend was looking for an idea to use store bought candle holders, and I came up with this idea. If they are different colored glass (or even all the same) you can stack them up and create a glass Christmas tree. You can stick little "ornaments" into the candle holder and add a star at the top or something... just an idea.

#126 - Okay... I'm done with snow

We got about 6 inches last night/this morning and I wanted to take a picture of our driveway. I should have taken one before we shoveled it. That's right, we shovel that beast of a driveway. I'm in the bedroom above the garage, so you don't actually see the whole driveway. It takes 1-2 hours to shovel it completely. At least some of it melted today.

#66 - Spiders, Spiders everywhere

So... the theme today was spiders. I, like a lot of people, am extremely afraid of spiders. I hate them. I hate looking at them, being near them, and even thinking about them.

So, I took a photo of a spider that I'm not afraid of. :) I thought it was pretty creative to take a photo of a sticker. These are Halloween stickers from last year that I still have left over.

#65 - Get to the Thermostat Stat!

Here's a reading of today's thermostat in the house. Not too bad! We haven't turned the heat on yet. I'm hoping to get a little further into the month before we have to turn the heat on. I hate turning the heat on in October. I feel like a wuss.

I will turn it on if it gets below 63 degrees. During the winter we don't go over 67 and don't go below 63. That's my breaking point.

My sophomore year of college we kept the heat at 58... burr. My room was so freezing I could barely write my papers, and I slept with a heating blanket on (not safe, but I did what I had to). Now that we can afford heat, I'm going to keep it comfortable but affordable. No more 58 for me.

#64 - Horribly Horrendous Horror Film

This is one of the only horror/gore films that I own. I've watched it once. I bought it from a Blockbuster in their previously viewed section. What a waste of money.

The first 30 minutes of this film is pretty much just soft porn and lots of female chest shots. Then it switches over to straight up repulsive gore. Yuck.

Next time, I'm just going to rent a horror film instead of buying one.

#63 - My Favorite Artist is....

GODSMACK

Best band ever! This is my all-time favorite album by my favorite band. I talked about this awhile back but I feel that it should be brought back up.

If you're looking for some good rock, check out Godsmack. This album is Faceless. I could listen to it any day of the week, all day long.

Check it out!
