Cookie Challenge

Are you up for a challenge?
I am in search of the PERFECT cookie recipe. And I am not looking for just any cookie. I need the perfect "NO BAKE" cookie.

Why, you ask? The no bake cookie is probably my favorite cookie in the whole world. Only one problem...I can NEVER get them to set up. No matter what recipe I have tried they always end up soupy and we end up eating them off the wax paper with a spoon. Well, I am sick and tired of it.

Do you have the infallible recipe for me? Send it to me and I will see. I am prepared with my ingredients; oatmeal, cocoa, margarine, vanilla, etc. I will make it as many times as I need to. My family will probably get sick of chocolate and oatmeal...BUT, I DON'T CARE. I am on a mission. I am prepared to gorge myself on endless amounts of chocolate cookies in order to find the perfect cookie!

And what will you get in return? If I pick your recipe, if it sets up without hassle, tastes good and my family agrees...You will get a fold-out mini scrapbook and $10.

I will keep you updated on how things are tasting...

There is that $10 peeking out there...send me your recipe!

Shelving Project

We took a break from our bathroom for a while so we could work on our original project...the storage shelves. My Mom and Dad offered to come down and help us a few weeks ago and we gladly took them up on their offer! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Louie and Dad got a lot of prep work done on our wall. In order to start on the storage unit we needed the wall to be prepped and ready for the fiber board. We also needed to sheetrock the ceiling. I was thrilled that they got so much done because our carpenter, Jeff called while they were working and said that he had a few days off the following week and would be able to start on the project. Perfect Timing! Here are our pictures from framing to finish. The only thing left is the doors and they should be in next weekend. Once they are installed I can start filling up all those beautiful shelves.

A peek at our finished shower in the bathroom in relation to this wall we are finishing.

Furred out and insulated.


After day one...framing complete.

A look from the inside.

The end of day two... shelves are in and so is Sam.

All done and waiting for the doors.
