What a sweet surprise to see my Magpie's Nest mentioned on your blog. I must say as a Mom of little ones you are doing one of the MOST creative things in the universe! Carving out time for Moms is a constant challenge. May the new year bring you lots of time for paper creating as well! BTW, that cookie recipe is an oldie but a goodie. Who doesn't have butter, sugar and flour in the house, usually anyway. Best New Years Wishes! P.S. I'm new to blogging and SO enjoying the whole deal!

My friend (Mockingbird) sent me a link to *her* friend's site so while I was poking around, I found a recipe that I totally want to try. As usual I'm doing the friendly bookmark that let's others share in my great discoveries. :) I would have already given it a try except that our house is already loaded up with goodies - including shortbread - so I'll wait until the sweet supply diminishes a bit. Of course it might take a while...I think we still have Halloween candy from '06. Not to mention, we all know that I was scolded by the doctor for my excessive weight gain. But we love shortbread in this house!
In the meantime, it's a pretty cool site. She seems to be a very creative, artsy person so it was neat to see her handiwork. I need to get on the ball with my digital scrapbooking. Lately it just seems like I have so much other stuff to do...but I think it's all just warped priorities. The last week or so I've been spending all this time updating our community directory. Have I ever mentioned that I'm on my HOA's board of directors? And then as if that wasn't enough I tried to informally get a social committee up and running. Never mind that I'm pregnant with my 4th child and my oldest is only 4. Never mind I'm a stay-at-home-mom with tons of housework. I'm just a little crazy...apparently. At least I had the good sense to tell Oskar's teacher that I could not be a room mom and probably wouldn't even be able to make play dough...although it pained me to say no. And meanwhile I volunteer to provide food at every party that comes down the pike. Okay, I guess I've digressed just a little. But yeah, Magpie's Nest is a neat site.
And even though this isn't my scrapbooking site, let me just mention that there are some great sales going on now and it pains me to not take advantage. But I haven't been working on any pages so I don't even know what I need. But Scrap Girls is having a 25% sale and Digital Freebies just had a 50% sale. *sigh* Designer Digitals had a huge sale too. I will remember this for next year! And in the meantime, I'd totally love to subscribe to this magazine.
