I want to be Martha Stewart. Maybe I should amend that statement. I am very glad that I have never been to jail, and I definitely want to be known as a nicer person than she, but I long for her talent and skill. I read her magazine faithfully (folding down page corners of every idea that I love), look at her website, watch her show when I get the opportunity to do so, and google anything Martha Stewart related.
I so desperately wish that I could make a queen-sized quilt, four textured pillows, eleven fresh flower arrangements (with flowers from my own yard, of course), six homemade lemon lavender scented candles, a cute backpack or three for Jayden, a cherry cobbler (completely from scratch), and plan an outdoor party for 300 in one afternoon. How accomplished I would feel!
And I have definite Martha Stewart Craft Room envy. I think this picture explains it all...
Oh the things I could do in that room! A girl can dream can't she?
Well...I know that I will never be Martha Stewart, but maybe, if I keep on trying to create new things, cook delicious food, and plan parties, I will at least be Martha Stewart-esque!
Jayden was so excited to help me pour the sugar in the mixing bowl.
He was so excited that he got to help make and taste the dough!
Getting ready to use the cookie cutters to cut out the cookies.
Jayden and I before the cookies went in the oven.
He was such a good little helper!
Cutting out the cookies.
Playing with the cookie dough...and eating some along the way.
He loved decorating the cookies with the icing and sprinkles!
Decorating my candy cane cookie.
Chris even decorated a few cookies.
Jayden's work of art!
Pretty colors...messy though!
What a mess! He had icing all over his hands and his face and teeth!
Our masterpieces!
So cute! Can't wait to eat them!
We had a lot of fun trying new ways to decorate them.
My bell, and Jayden's Christmas tree.
Beautiful!
Chris' Santa Claus creation! :)
