lemon cookies

i made more cookies! and they are the most yummy things i've ever tasted! it was nice for a change to try something that didn't have chocolate in it, while still being savoury and sweet and truly delish! and i can't believe how easy they were to make...one box of lemon cake mix, lemon juice, lemon zest (which i added...), some eggs and oil, roll in powdered sugar and bake for 7 minutes! check out the recipe by clicking on the first picture!

gingerbread

so, i made some cookies the other day. they were pretty yummy. crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. i haven't been having too much luck baking lately. my last two ventures (a yummy chocolate, earl grey tea cake [stuck to the pan] and peanut butter oat squares [i put too much salt in them, however the dog though they were dope]) were utter failures. it was very discouraging because it was the first time(s) i used my stand mixer. but now i'm back in the groove. enjoy drooling over the pictures!

i'm sorry, but how good do these look! check out the recipe by clicking on the last picture!

the voice

sometimes i just need this voice to speak a little louder...

chai tea

or if you're dyslexic like me thai chi (only sometimes, when i'm thinking too fast...) it's my new favourite thing thanks to aunt cathy. right now i'm just rocking the tazo (which is a little too anise-y for me) but i want to go and find a nice, queen elizabeth quality loose tea to brew at home. i just love the spices and with a splash of milk it's a delightfully smooth treat! and it smells like freaking christmas!

this week on pinterest

and how the pink just keeps showing up!

sometimes thirfting is awesome!

I got a phone call from the bibles for missions in beamsville last week informing me that i won something (well, i guess it's not technically winning if i then have to pay for it...)!!! i guess they had tried to contact like four other people that were below me on the list so yeppie for me. i honestly didn't even remember what it was other than i knew it was sea foam green. but how excited was i when i saw this:

can you believe this?

i giggled like a little girl when i saw it!

i love tea

have i mentioned that?

and i mean i wouldn't have placed a bid on

it if i didn't like it in the first place...

oh, i also got this painting

and some pillow cases...

whatever...
