Remodeling, that is! This project has definitely turned into a bit of a never-ending process. But I think we're finally in the home stretch.
Yesterday, I spent most of the day grouting in the tiles my hubby set the day before. That was a job, let me tell you! It took so much longer than I anticipated, which really shouldn't surprise me at this point!
I do think there's finally an end in site. On Friday, we can seal the grout. At that point, we'll be able to put the sink back in (thank goodness!). Tonight I'm going shopping for tiles to use as the backsplash, which will hopefully be my project for tomorrow.
This morning was spent going through cabinets, reorganizing, etc. That's the fun stuff! And...ordering new curtains, new clock, and a new utensil holder. I'm going with splashes of red to get some color into the kitchen, since I hadn't really intended on doing the whole thing in gray!
So, awhile back, I posted pics of cookies I received during our cookie swap. I just realized, I never posted pictures of the cookies that I made! I sent these to Laura at A Dozen Eggs Bake Shoppe. It was a little nerve wracking making cookies for her, as she is so good at what she does! But I had alot of fun creating these, and she seemed to really like them, which totally made my day!

Cookie Swap Cookies!
So my big news is that my Cookie Swap cookies finally arrived this week! (Hmm, maybe I need a hobby or something!) And they are soooo darling! Definitely worth the wait! And I have to admit, I did eat MOST of them, per my partner's request, but I just had to save the lemonade pitcher and the glass. Those were way, way too cute to eat!
And speaking of mailing cookies, I needed to get cookies shipped out to the grandkids this week, so they could have them by Valentine's Day on Monday. I had to go a little more on the simple side than I usually do, since I had a very large order for OSU this week. But they're little...I don't think they'll care!
I have to admit...sometimes doing cakes for boys is just not all that much fun. Not always, but sometimes. This week though, I had SO much fun creating this cake for Tommy's 7th birthday. I've always wanted to try the giant Legos, and I really liked how they turned out. The little figures are all modeled out of chocolate. They are supposed to resemble the Lego Star Wars figures.
And one final cake to celebrate Brad's 50th birthday. It would also make a really cute Valentine's Day cake!
Have a great weekend!!!!
