I finally finished my little cottage today! I wish I would've kept track of my hours I put into it but I didn't. I'm guessing probably around 4-5 maybe give or take.

Cupcake Cookie
Another cookie for my sister. I made her a cover for an ice pack I'm giving her. She's a ballerina and always seems to need an ice pack for one thing or another : )
Hope there's lotsa monkying around!
I made this to match a DVD case I bought for my sister. I'm going to give her the movie Curious George for Christmas.
Stocking Stuffer Cookies
These are for my parents stockings this year. I will post pix of their stockings "stuffed" in a bit!

Delicate Pink Heart Gingerbread Hearts
These have hopefully made it to their destinations by now. I was in a Pink Christmas Ornament Swap and gave each girl one of these and they each received a pink feather wreath with "Fa la la la la" ribbon on it also.
Gingerbread Garland
This is a fun way to give cookies to friends, especially the ones who love to decorate for the holidays. I have a feling this will go on Kirsten's fireplace mantle.
Pinky Horsey Cookie
My girlfriend loves to ride horses so I made this cookie for her. The wrapped gift is a horse calander.
Zorro the Black Lab Cookie
My brother in law and his wife have a hunting dog Zorro who just happens to be the sweetest Black Lab ever! I wanted to dedicate my love to him!
Match the Wrap with the Cookie!
The holidays are the only time of year when I do this but it has become a habit of mine!
Gingerbread Man
It's officially the time of year when my husband comes home from work and exclaims......"Mmmm whatcha baking?" Gingerbread more than likely!!! I can't think of a Christmas in my adult years where I haven't baked these little gems!!! They fill the house with a delightful aroma and I always use extra cinnamon!!!
Recipe coming soon....

Quick Mississippi Mud Cake
Here's a quick dessert that makes a huge impression! Adapted from my friend in 6th grade Angela White's mom's recipe for Mississippi Mud Cake Brownies.
I change things up a bit and add or subtract according to what's in my pantry. This time I used:
Devils Food Cake Mix (Bake in a 13X9 as directed).Wait until it cools and then spread a jar of Marshmallow Creme over the top.Sprinkle with Coconut (Toasted if you like) and then I added a lot of Chopped Pecans on top of that! I had some left over Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips that I melted and added a scant amount of milk to make it thin. Drizzle the Chocolate over the top and thats it! The cake turned out really light and fluffy because I used "Smart Balance" oil. It's high in Omega Three Fatty Acids and good for you at the same time!

Wedding Cookies
I made these a while back for a bridal shop in Santa Barbara, CA. They took uber amounts of time, but the effects came out right nice! They were made from a Classic Shortbread recipe (Martha of course) and I iced them with Royal Icing, Edible 14K Gold and Dragees!

Chocolate Panna Cotta Pie
I make this pie about once a year! I love the meringue piled extra high so I make a double batch! It's so delicious! The higher quality of chocolate you can get your hands on the better! Oreo cookies make the crust!
Corsets for Nibbling!
I was inspired to make these when I saw a drawing that resembled Madonna in a pretty cute lacy ensemble! I wish they had a cookie cutter for corsets ~ I had to hand cut each one! It would've made these go a little faster!
Other Uses for Cigarette Cookies
Caramel Apples never looked so Good! I used Kraft Caramels and after Dipping them I Rolled them in Crushed Honey Roasted Peanuts! I used regular Wooden Popsicle Sticks in these and then put the Cigarette Cookie over to hide the stick!
