Peanut Butter Blossoms otherwise known as "kiss" cookies
I’ve already made one batch of these cookies but they were scarfed down before I could even get a picture of them. For some reason this batch didn’t turn out as pretty as the last batch but the pictures will just have to do for now. Maybe next Christmas I will take a nice photo […]

Spritz Cookie Recipe

Coffee filter wreath and vinyl lettering
In addition to painting the doors, I also added some vinyl lettering to the mudroom entry area. I originally bought the vinyl for my glass door piece but it wasn’t quite big enough. I think it helps blend the door and the kitchen table with the rest of the house. Here it is…. Last week […]
