I haven't made cut out sugar cookies (at Christmas) for a few years now. I adore eating them, but they really are a process to make. I know there are tons of similar-but-not-quite-matching recipes out there for both the cookies and the icing, but this post intrigued me - mostly because of the icing. (Do you call it icing or frosting? Or both?) This one looks so pretty - and not as hard to make as Royal icing, which I just cannot bring myself to begin messing with.

I always love seeing bloggers' gift guides...because it's fun to get new ideas and learn about things I may not have known existed. Here's one with several sub-guides for all ages and interests! (I may have picked out a few things I liked for myself!)

If you're in for a long winter's stay, and you need a craft project that is relatively simple and inexpensive, check out these wintry paper trees. I'm fresh out of room here at Christmas, but these would be lovely for the post-Christmas winter months!

Remember a few days ago when I asked if you had a moment to vote for Gateway Woods to win a disc golf course? GUESS WHAT!?!!?!? WE WON!!! And check out the final story, too, because it's even cooler than just winning!

I don't think I shared this before on here, but if I did, then I just guess it bears repeating! I found this list of cool cabin rentals throughout the US, and there are indeed some pretty neat ones listed! We stayed in a tiny cabin in Ohio this summer and LOVED it. Between that good experience and my undying love of A-Frames, I had all the heart-eyes over most of this list!

Let's be honest: most of us are probably fortunate to get our gifts wrapped at all, and by wrapped, I mean dropped in a gift bag. I know in our home, Ryan is a FAR superior gift wrapper than I am, but I can still dream about someday being a fabulous gift wrapper. And to inspire me...and also you...check out some of these ideas! (Any of you especially good at wrapping?)

Yay for winning the disc golf!!!
I looked through that list of cabins to see if there were any places that I had been to, and I have been to Oceanside, Oregon, which is a small town with lots of vacation rentals. The town is built up on a big hill or cliff overlooking the ocean. I’ve been there three times! It is so beautiful there. My brother lives in Portland, Oregon, so when my parents and I would go visit him, he would take us there. One time our whole family met there and we all stayed in a house that had three separate levels or apartments. And then a couple of years later my brother and I spent a week there. He and his fiancé go there quite a bit when they need a getaway.
I saw a gift idea and thought of you. It’s a journal called One Line a Day, and it gives you space to write just one or two lines about your day. You could also use it for prayer requests and write down one prayer each day. The cool thing is that it is a five year journal, so there is a page for each day of the year, and at the end of the year you start back over at the beginning with your entries.
CONGRATULATIONS on winning the disc golf!!! The way the contest ended up working out is so amazing. I got cold chills reading the whole story.
I call it icing if I make it and frosting if I buy the stuff in a can. Does that help?!?
