Good Morning Everyone,
Enjoy this recipe today. It is warming up. Suppose to be in the 50's tomorrow then back down. Raining today, but I want to see if I can get out and get some pictures.

Cut out cookies are definitely my favorite cookies for christmas. This rainy day is the perfect time for cooking. We have flood warnings posted all day for my area.

Glad you like the recipe, Doreen. We have flood warnings here, too.

I just made my grandmother's sugar cookie recipe yesterday. I made blue and pink poodles. ;)
I do see St. Joseph. Nice.
Hi Vickie,
You made poodles !!!! I would love to see them. Poodle cookies, I don't know if I would be able to eat those guys.
Glad you like St. Joseph.

The fog is setting in and it is terrible driving on those roads. I went the hospital to visit a friend, but I didn't go out to get pictures. The roads are just too bad.
