Happy Valentines Day! I had a very busy day yesterday. It was an early release day. After my talkative children left, I spent the rest of the afternoon in an In-service. I went straight home and fixed country fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, and cauliflower with cheese for dinner. Sonny and I relaxed and watched a documentary on the Comanche Indians. I had set out all the ingredients that I would need to fix frosted sugar cookies for Valentines Day. So, I headed back to the kitchen.. These are so good! I frosted them with butter cream frosting and sprinkled them with sparkling sugar. While the cookies were baking I read another chapter in the book Listening For Lions, by Gloria Whelan. It’s a fiction novel for young adults about a girl that is left an orphan after the influenza epidemic of 1919 in East Africa. This one is getting really good, I can’t wait to get some more reading time in. Once all the cookies were baked, I got to go play with some of my new toys. Look what came in the mail today. Yes, your not seeing things. I got three of the new Cuttlebug embossing folders. I can’t wait to play with them. I made this card with the Number Collage embossing folder and the Nursery Necessities stamp set. I sanded the background with a sanding block after I had embossed it. The ribbon I used is Stampin’ Up’s new striped Wild Wasabi. Remember to sign up for my newsletter. That will be the only way to get it after Friday.
