Happy Winter Solstice!

Happy Winter Solstice! It is still snowing- and it doesn't show signs of stopping.



I kept busy on this snowy day. I baked 6 different kinds of cookies today! I am exhausted. Chocolate Chip, Sugar Cookies, Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter & Banana, Russian Tea Cakes, and Coconut Macaroons. They all came out great! Unfortunately it took me all day to make them.

Right now the smell of cinnamon is drifting thru the house. I am making ornaments out of pinecones my sister collected for me. All in all I think my day was well spent, even if I didn't write that paper for English class yet. Maybe I'll do that after I eat some dinner.

  6. HI Tori, I found you through Robyn's blog - tales of inglewood.
    Happy Winter Solstice to you. I love cookie making, but it really is labour intensive. I'll bet your kitchen smells good.
