The weather is getting me down maaaaaaan & some sizzix stuff going on

Whats the weather like where you live?

Here its constant rain in some parts of our country, we have floods & ppl's house's are filled with water, they are forced to live on the upper level, :-(

We moan & winge about whats happenening in our lives but just remember there is always someone more worse off than you!!!

On a happy-ier note, I have pulled out my old sizzix big shot die cutting machine, because I swore blind by my cricut up til now!! ...why?
I found...thanks to Keisha http://abiteast.typepad.com/ these new dies, & they are to die for!!!!

my beautiful little baby boy

This beautiful baby boy came into our life's 16yrs ago we did not not know that he was going to be cherished as much as we have cherish all of our children but what we didn't know at the time & until he was 3yrs old was that mikey was a special baby he came to us because we could love & care for him, he has adhd & is autistic with asburges, he was statmented & diagnoised with adhd when he was just 5yrs old & has bought us joy laughter tears & heart ache I wont lie, its been a tough journey but I think I have moulded him to be a fine young gentle men???  we celebrated his 16th birthday with his favourite food....PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!

He had the best birthday ever in his word's, happy birthday son {mr moo moo} x

Okay okay i have the best ever cookie recipe for you also, I called them

"reindeer cookies" see because Christmas is coming & these are not your usual kind of cookie, these are really sweet, maybe because of all the sweet ingredients I used, but also because I added a sprinkle of glitter on the top before I put them in the oven too.

 

without further a do.....

 

 

you will need:

 

250g soft butter

400g soft light brown suger

2 eggs

4 drops of vanilla essence or seeds of 1 vanilla pod

330g plain flour

1tsp baking powder

1 tsp bicarbonate powder

30g of dark chocolate powder {I used bournville}

100g of white chocolate chips

100g of fudge chunks

200g of dark chocolate chips

some edible glitter

 

*mix butter & suger together until soft & smooth

*then chuck all other ingredients in EXCEPT the chocolate chips & fudge chucks & mix together

* then gently fold in the chocolate chips & fudge chunks at the end

 

* roll or form into balls & bake on 190c/gas mark 5 for 10-12 mins

 

*depending on the size of cookie's you want you could make upto 50 cookies, if you don't want this many half the recipe down
