Christmas - Days 11 and 12

The last two days I've been a baking crazy woman. Tuesday evening I started the annual Christmas baking and used up nearly all my measuring cups in the process. :) I didn't really sample much of what I made - aside from licking spoons and beaters. Isn't that the best part of the baking process anyway?

I kept the spirit going by watching Holiday in Handcuffs (do NOT laugh at me) - which was I think on ABC Family. It had Mario Lopez in it, so you know, how could it be bad? I love all the little made for TV holiday movies. Cheesy yet cute.

Last night I came home from one of the worst days I'd had in a while...to find that my oven (which I had set to clean when I left for work) was STILL cleaning. After pulling a reaction like my Dad ("I wonder how much this is going to cost on the electric bill?") I sat down and cried for a half hour. I had come home hoping for improvement, not an oven stuck on cleaning. I managed to get it to stop and unlock in time to bake the cutout cookies. Tonight is the icing night. I love to ice cookies.

So that's been my holiday celebration the last couple of days. Now if I can give everything away before I'm tempted to dip into it myself! :)

No pictures??? I'd love to see the finished goods.

Definately post the pics of the cookies! I would take some off your hands for you, but I too am watching what I eat. However, if you ARE desperate to get rid of the temptation, I am sure there will be plenty of cookie eaters @ the painting party Saturday! Hope to see you there!
p.s.- I better see pics of those cookies, missy! You know how I like the aesthetically pleasing visual of baked goods!

Miss Sarah - I took out a sampling for you. Not enough to tempt you unnecessarily, but enough to give you a lil smile! ;)
