Presidential Election

With the Election less than 3 weeks away I'm on pins and needles waiting to see who the next president will be. I found this interesting website on the History of Presidential Elections from Washinton in 1789 up to 2012 and wanted to share: http://www.historycentral.com/elections/

Breast Cancer Awareness Ornament

I had a friend suggest for me to make an ornament. One for Breast Cancer and maybe some others.  This ornament is from her idea.  Turned out beautiful.  I feel like most of us have known someone or been affected by Breast Cancer in some way.

Cookie Update

We made the Sugar Cookie Recipe (from 2 posts prior) that we found in an old book. This was probably the most DELICIOUS Sugar Cookie Recipe I have ever tried. If you have Sour Cream, and Cream of Tarter, I highly recommend these cookies. They are SO soft fluffy and yummy.  We baked them for 10 minutes in our oven. The recipe says to bake in a "quick oven." I told my husband I thought our oven was pretty quick!
