Ugly Cookies and a Collage (or two)

 Christmas week is here. I spent the night finishing up a few home made gifts so they'll be ready for Friday. Wow- Friday is Christmas. Seems like there was so much time and now I am checking off my list to be sure those  little projects I started get finished. 

How about you? Are you finished up with your pre-holiday preparations or are you a last minute person?

So today I have 2 journal pages to show you. I am linking up to Art Journal Journey. The theme this month is collage and it is being hosted by Valerie.
Due to the lack of sunshine, these photos are a tad bit darker than they are in real life.

 So I decided to do a little holiday baking last Saturday night. I was baking when my daughter decided to join me. She has never shown any interest in cooking or baking, but I let her help, after all it is quality mom-daughter time. And you never know what might spark something! Anyhow she decided I was too slow taking cookies off the cookie sheets, so I gave the job to her, and ha-ha, she broke almost every cookie.

This was the part she excelled in. These were the cookies before they became what we fondly refer to as the ugly cookies.

 But it doesn't really matter if they look good  or not because they taste yummy and we had fun. 

Chocolate chip cookies with chopped up candy canes or chocolate cookies with a peppermint Hershey's kiss. Take your pick.

I also made some other dough which is put in the fridge. My plan is when I get home from work Wednesday afternoon (its only a half day Wednesday) I can roll and cut and bake and decorate and have myself some holiday fun since I will be home alone until later in the evening.

Can you tell I'm still in the cookie baking mood?

So that is all for me today. Hope your manage to find some holiday cheer in your day.
