I decided to take the day off from work today. No real special reason. I made cookies again, but this time, peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and gave some of them to the neighbors. The husband of the couple up the street was like "Oh, I really like the peanut butter and chocolate combo." Great! Enjoy. That way, I don't have to enjoy them by myself (even though the office is really happy about recent leftover cookies). For Christmas, I'm "giving them the gift of calories, innocently put into cookie form," as my sister puts it.
This comic describes how I'm feeling about the UPS package tracking system. I'm waiting for my box of new crafty things. The last entry was from 12/18. GAH!
I went to spin class and Janice remember my request from last week and played "I Gotta Feelin'"- Black Eyed Peas. That's 4 spin classes in 4 days. Woot, go me. But do not be fooled. This increase in exercise is directly proportional to the my recent increased consumption of jelly beans, chocolate, and cookies.
Here's my take on Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger. They are mittens. How weather appropriate! My goal was to focus on the stripes and the colors, since I didn't have a mitten die. I created my own background by first heat embossing white lines, and then taking Post-It notes (yes, very high tech) and masking off strips and inking them with different Distress Inks to create the stripes in the mittens.

Oh, I am here! That comic about the package tracking is too funny. It really does happen to me, though. Tracking tells me my package is still in wherever and then my package arrives on my porch. LOL. Makes me crazy.
I love my orange dresses from your Etsy shop. They are SO cute.
Very cool!! Great take on the challenge, it turned out awesome :)
Really fun take on the Challenge, Tina...Love the button, bow and tag-hello (hey I think that rhymes :)
a cheery card, I really like the trim with that perfectly tied bow.
Hey Tina! What a fun approach to this week's Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
