sweetness

It's so nice to come back from a three-day-weekend to a surprise on my desk. (Trust me, it really is!) Did I tell you how lucky I am sometimes to have such sweet coworkers? Really really.

As if the concept of a surprise wasn't enough, look at the beautiful wrapping job that she did, especially with two seashells attached to the ribbon! Seriously, too awesome.

But then the cookies. The cookies! Scrumptious! Ginger cookies. Mmmmmmmm ...

Sooooo good. Laura, you really do spoil me. Thank you. :)

valentine's day stuff

So I forgot to post Valentine's day stuff! I managed to create a couple of cards and mailed them out in time (whew!) and then had a fun time making some treats, too.

(I must've had some sort of red-black-white bug going on here ...)

I really wish I wasn't allergic to raspberries because I sure do miss enjoying these linzer cookies. They're one of Tony's favorites. Lucky dude.

So for a little twist this year (and so that I could enjoy them too - LOL!), I made a few with melted chocolate in the middle instead of the raspberries. Yum yum!
