Quilt, Cook, Paint, Crochet & Other Creative Whimsy

I declare 2012 to be the Year of the Cookie!

Cookie Recipes OK, OK... I know its the Year of the Dragon, which works for me cause that's my sign (Dragon baby, oh yeah!) - still, you can't bake, eat, and share a Dragon... you could I guess, if you really wanted to, but as far as I can tell there are no Chocolate Chunk Dragons... or Peanut Butter... or Raspberry Thumbprint.

I have always (well, since I was 10) wanted to write my very own cookbook and this is my attempt at that goal. So... 52 weeks in a year... 52 cookie recipes on this blog... all accumulating at the end of the year (probably in the beginning of 2013 if we get real honest) with a "Year of the Cookie" cookbook.

So follow along... let's see where this cookie recipe adventure takes us >>

I turned to Fab!Hubby the other day and declared, "You know, I just like to make stuff... to take anything... and make something that wasn't there before!" He sighed... "I know. My issue isn't that you make stuff, its that you make so much stuff, all at the same time." He's got me there. The Creative Source has always just flowed through me, effortlessly, and I enjoy being able to harness it. From quilting to murals to photography and much, much more... with the relaunch of this site I'll be exploring the creative process, documenting projects, and sharing the joy I find in color, crafts, and creativity in 2012.

Cook

To say I like to cook is an understatement... big time... like calling The Mississippi River a creek kinda thing. I come from a very long line of what we call today "Comfort Food" aficionados. To those women who came before me, bacon and cream gravy were just kitchen staples. My new journey is to learn to cook good tasting food that's good for us... its an adventure. I also have a passionate love affair with cookbooks and in 2012 will be attempting a year long project that will result in a Cookie Cookbook. You can follow the project here starting in January.

"... as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." ~ Marianne Williamson

I have made a commitment to be present in my own life, to do the personal growth work required to be the person God created me to be, and to share my light with the world. I will be blogging about the things that inspire me, help me to grow, help me to live more consciously. You can catch a glimpse in my Personal Mission Statement here »
