Personal Side

Another very productive week. How grateful I am.

And Ukraine is only three weeks away. Wowwwwww......

So much to do, so little time. lol

Several of you have asked how you could help for the Ukraine trip.
Interestingly enough, I heard this week that even though
we all have the money for our expenses to take the trip,
we are low on the amount we need for the ministries......
in particular for the cost of the women's retreat.

Since people are asking......I'll just throw this out there.
If you would like to help us with our ministries in Ukraine
for the July 19 - Aug 3 trip,
just click on the PayPal button on the right side bar for contributions.

Note: If you need a receipt for your donation for tax purposes, we'll have to go a different route.

Just email me at cookiecrazielady [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com and we'll try to work something out.

Thanks everyone for your continued support.
I'm floored at how kind and generous everyone is.
It's so nice to be involved with an online community such as our cookie world. :)

Other than a very fun travel-themed cookie project this week,
things have been pretty calm in our household.
Everyone's back in their normal routine.

Here's some fun Instagram pics from the week.....

My patriotic cookie display last weekend. :)

Allison dressed up for tourist night at VBS where she is a leader.
She said she moved from tourist to nerd, some how. haha
(I may regret putting this in a public place.
Understand.....this is my 18 year old daughter. heehee)

Made some yummy grain free vanilla cupcakes from Elana's Pantry.
Mmmmmmm

Perfecting my grain free granola recipe.
Almost there! I'll share it here when I get it just right.

I made glaze transfers! I'm so excited.
I didn't think it was possible to make transfers with glaze.
But I'll show you proof that it works.
I placed them on one of my projects this week. Yippee!
