They look great!

[2Jedismom]

Gosh! Thanks!

They're meant to be a bit "abstract"...but you can still tell they're Beetles, huh?

[Corin Stormhands]

Oh yeah. Even if you hadn't told us.

Sometimes I wonder why people seem to push this idea that, say, debugging code is somehow more fulfilling than baking cookies for a couple Jedis.

That said, I might have to whack you with a fish too. I haven't folded laundry in over a week and you're making me feel guilty.

[2Jedismom]

Ha! I just looked at my living room...it's an absolute disaster. School stuff all over the place. That basket of laundry that is in the picture of the car parts is still sitting there.

Time to yell at the jedis.

Heh heh!

Joshua licked the frosting off his cookie and said it was all he wanted...

[2Jedismom]

Well, I'm done with the gingerbread cookies. I am supposed to take 12, and the recipe made 16...so I can mess up a couple and be ok.

[SuziQ]

LOL!! I love that! But I think my favorite part of Blast from the Past is when he's dancing the swing with the two women at the club. I LOVE Swing music! It's the tom toms; I love the percussion!

The "Holiday Concert" at Jr's school is tonight.

I'm practically ~beside~ myself in anticipation...

[HairOfTheDog]

I can see that :~)

Cookie exhange cookies are done! Slightly different design than originally planned but I think it's good.

The reds are a bit hard to see in the picture, but they look pretty good too.

In other news about creativity and Jr's school, this guy apparently is an art teacher there.

Or should I say ~was~. He's currently on administrative leave.

[2Jedismom]

Ah shucks!

:-)

Anyways, they're gonna think I'm nuts. It's a Christmas party! I'm bringing red and green gingerbread Volkswagens to a Christmas party!

Heh heh! That's ok.

Here's where I got the idea...It's a pattern on a floor mat.

[HairOfTheDog]

~chuckling~

[2Jedismom]

LOL!!!

Pretty creative, actually! (Although I don't think that would do for a Christmas cookie pattern.)

How did you find out about it???

[SuziQ]

Our sister has spoken through the gifts.

Hallelujah!

[SuziQ]

*snort* Those jedis woulda had bug eyes for sure seeing that!

[RosieCotton]

I'm thinkin' I probably don't wanna go there at work, huh?

Got my candy made and mailed! This afternoon I made goo-gobs of lollipops. There were 10 tall, skinny chocolate St. Nicks, 4 large vanilla snowmem, 13 that look like ornaments, half were vanilla, and half were chocolate, and 27 snowflakes, some chocolate, but mostly vanilla. I also made a batch of peppermint bark, with the bottom layer vanilla with mint flavoring, and the top layer dark chocolate with white peppermint flakes in it. Then I crushed some peppermint sticks and sprinkled them on top. I kept half of that for us. ;o)

The lollipops are for the kids' stockings for my family's Christmas party, which will be this Saturday. Didn't make it this year, but I sure hope we'll be there for good by NEXT Christmas!
