cookies and doodles ~

It's Tuesday already! Where did the weekend go?  My Yooper Sister, Cheryl and her hubby Thom, spent a few days with us.  It sure was nice seeing them again ~ just so sad of the situation that bought them home.  They had another funeral to attend.

I drew this dragon fly doodle on Saturday afternoon while they were at the funeral.  I had bought a new gel pen with glitter in it.  The photo doesn't show it; but the dragon fly doodle is metallic and shiny :)

 
 I started baking Christmas goodies ~

 How do you like those funky stars! 

Ashley (Sam's BFF) even got her hands into the dough with me yesterday.  I had asked her what her favorite Christmas cookie was and she said Peanut Butter Blossoms.  I said, "well, have at her!"

This was her first time ever making them.  She did great ~ Sam was happy to hear that she now knows how to make them :)

So far I've made:

Chocolate Mint Cookies
Russian Tea Cakes
Apricot Coconut Balls
Classic Spritz
Almond Toffee
Sugar Cut Outs
Pistachio Cranberry Biscotti
White Rocky Road Fudge
Peanut Butter Blossoms






   The sweets are piling up ~ but I'm far from done!!

Here's two more doodles since the weekend ~

I don't know what it is ~ but I sure do have drawing lines and shapes on the brain. 

I've never drawn this way before ...

I always tried to draw and paint more realistic pictures.  I know I was influenced by my Dad.  He was a stickler for detail.  I could just hear him, "now that's not what moose hair looks like ..."

Sorry Daddy - I just have to do it my way :)









Until next time ...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.
