THE COOKIE COUNTDOWN IS ON : RECIPE#2

     I found these at a Market Basket Grocery store.  They sell for about 2 for $5.00.  SO GOOD!  During the Holiday season the company also makes Chocolate peppermint cookies and spice cookies.  The spice ones smell amazing in the oven baking... They make cookies that are without Trans-fats and all natural.  Some are also organic.  The vanilla Sugar cookies are perfect to decorate for the holidays.  So fast, the perfect gift giving cookie!

RIBBON TREE FOR ADULTS/KIDS

This christmas tree can be made with all sorts of ribbons. I made this at home and used ribbons with gingerbread men on it. Another thing you can do is customize it with your own favorite theme. Not just christmas themes... While I worked on my tree, my children enjoyed putting together their own. I purchased scraps of ballerina fabric, bought shiny ribbon, gems, pom-poms etc... They had a great time adding these to their cardboard cones (available in craft stores)
