86 posts at WordPress, moving on… July 6, 2009

 I really can’t believe that I have been blogging for over a year and have 86 posts. But, that is what the numbers tell me.  After seeing some of my blog friends move over to blogspot, I decided it was time to check it out.  I now have a new blog address http://lemondropssimplestuff.blogspot.com/

I haven’t posted at my new home yet, but I will do so soon. Still trying to figure the basic stuff out.  So please add my new address to your favorites and stop by and visit soon.  Hmmm, maybe I need to have a Grand Opening Giveaway! Better bet busy!

Hope you all had a nice 4th.  After confirming with other viewers of our OOH AHHH fireworks here in Lodi California, I can say that the finale was the best they have had in a few years. I loved it! Hope you too got to see some cool fireworks!

Super Simple Sugar Cookies July 4, 2009

Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix is great! With my “from scratch” recipe I have to let the dough sit in the frig for at least an hour before rolling it out. With the mix, it is immedietly ready to go! Just be sure to follow the directions on the back of the package for cut cookies. No waiting! I have used this mix a couple of times and find it easy to work with.  With 2 packages I was able to make 60 medium sized star cookies to be frosted for the 4th of July tomorrow morning.

And we have a winner!!! July 4, 2009

I joke about having 3 peeps that read my blog.  But I was wrong, I actually had 4 sign up for the giveaway.

Thank you Jenny, Stephanie, Roxanne and Mona for posting a comment on the giveaway post. 

Wrote up 4 little pieces of paper with your names on them and the winner is …..(drumroll)…MONA!!!!!! Thanks again for viewing my blog!

Just email me your address and I will send your prize or I can deliver to church. Let me know!

Hope you are all enjoying the summer weather and have plans for a festive 4th!

Happy 4th of July! July 1, 2009

I hope you all have a fun and safe 4th of July!

Here are my minimal holiday decorations.  Thanks to Jenny over at Liptsick and Laundry for the idea of the wooden stars mod podged with cool Statue of Liberty napkins. I have to get some ribbon and wire to finish those off.
