Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

its that time of year, when i start researching and looking through all the cookie recipes i've found and loved over the years. this recipe i found about three years ago. they are called 'chocolate peppermint' cookies. they taste just like girl scout thin mints....they are amazing. this recipe requires the cookie be dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with crushed peppermint candies. i made this batch for a cookie exchange, so to make sure they fit every one's taste, i made white chocolate and dark chocolate cookies. 

presentation is everything!!!!! so of course i made sure to bring my cookies in treat boxes that matched the theme of the cookies i made. i always try them before packaging them up, these of course were delicious!

From Me to 'U'- Fabric Monogram Letters

as a house warming gift for a dear friend of mine, i decided to make them fabric letters, using the monogram of their first names. i chose colors that suited their tastes and color scheme of their new home.

i was deeply honored and humbled to receive a picture from my friends, showing my gift hanging up in their kitchen. it was such a fun project to create and love that it has a special place in their wonderful new home.
