I spent the whole day puttering around and not really getting all that much accomplished. I did mangage to get some of the kitchen cleaned and listed a couple of new items in my etsy shop. I also was able to clean up and clean out some of my email. This afternoon I took some pictures of items that I will be listing in my shop in the upcoming week(s). When I look back at what I have typed thus far I guess I can say that in some ways I did get quite a bit accomplished. My latest etsy listings: A victorian angel aceo card -- I am having a blast creating these collages
dragonfly birthday card -- so many handmade birthday cards look to girly -- I wanted to create something with more of a masculine feel -- I think I achieved that as this card could be given to either a male or female.
The past few days have been spent relaxing with my hubby. He had a three day weekend so we spent some quality time with one another. We went for a walk (I injured my foot) and we spent alot of time sitting on our balcony and reading our books. We even managed a few games of scrabble and a couple of drives. It was real nice and I enjoyed our time together. I truly married my best friend and I feel very blessed.
A few weeks ago I made cookies from a recipe that I found in an amish book. They were very good (although not as peanut buttery as I hoped). I thought I would share the recipe in my blog and I even took a picture so you all can see how they turned out.
Chunky Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
3/4 cup margarine 2/12 cups flour
1 cup white sugar 1 tsp baking soda
1 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup peanut butter 1 (8oz) chocolate bar, chopped
2 eggs 2 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. beat margarine, sugars and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in chocolate pieces. Drop rounded Tbsps of dough onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or till lightly browned. Let stand for a few min before removing from cookie sheets.
Makes -- approx 2 1/2 dozen
It sure made our kitchen smell yummy -- I may even bake another batch this week if the rain continues. Speaking of kitchens -- we got out tap changed and I am so liking the new one. It is a all in one and it has different sprays. The button is under the spout so you can't see it.
I still have no idea what I will be making for dinner tonight -- most likely something simple -- maybe potatoes and chicken burgers and of course my daily salad.
Until next time ~ blessings ~ Shell
