I'm Pooped.

This weekend was so busy!! Yesterday Heather and I made an impromptu trip to Ikea following another trip to Vogue fabrics. I further dug myself into a hole by buying more fabric for dresses. Honestly, who am I kidding?? I don't have a good track record with making clothes. Mainly because I know myself and my inability to follow directions. Ask my mom to dig out my old report cards, there are comments on almost every single one that say "very bright (hehe), but has a difficult time following directions". But on the bright side, the exterior of my

Amy Butler Weekender Travel Bag is pretty much done. There is some hand sewing around the corners that needs to be done, but besides that it looks FABULOUS!! Well you can decide for yourself:

I guess these pictures aren't very good, but I hope you get the idea. Once it is all done I will be sure to add to the tips and tricks of lots of fellow crafters out there. I just hope it stays together........

Spent time with my cousin last night then made some cookies today as well. OH and I had to assemble my new Ikea bookshelf. I am hoping it will help to rein in my mess. HA only a miracle could do that. Or maybe my mom. Mom, can you please visit and help me clean/organize!? Oh messed up putting the bookcase together too, see those darn directions again!!! Happy week everyone!!

DB's Sister's Cookies

Got this recipe from one of my bosses, they are AMAZING. This recipe makes alot.

Do NOT use a mixer, just mix together by hand otherwise it gets too watery!!

2 Sticks of butter (room temp)
1 Cup Oil
1 Egg
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix Above Together then add:

3.5 Cups Flour
1 tsp baking soda (I prefer using 3 tsp of baking powder)
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cream of Tartar

Mix in then add:

1 Cup Rice Krispies
1 Cup Oatmeal
1 Cup Chocolate Chips

Take a teaspoon size of dough and make into a ball, coat the bottom of a glass with sugar and flatten the ball. Bake at 350 Degrees for 12 Min.

Yummy. Its also good to freeze some of the dough for later (or as I did, leave in fridge for a couple weeks, hope its still good, figure I would take the risk, then bake it up).
