Russian Tea Cakes / Italian Wedding Cookies I tried making these last weekend for the first time. They are easy. They are awesome. They are kind of like potato chips, one is not enough. Last week I made a bunch of awesome holiday earrings. And took some really crappy pictures of them;~) I also bought myself a Birthday present. I love this earring holder! Love ~ Love~ Love! You can get one here . Baklava Yesterday I made this for the first time. It is baklava. I got the recipe here and it is awesome! It was very simple but a little monotonous. Snickerdoodles And today I made these. I have to say that photographing jewelry is difficult, but photographing food is an art and boy, do I need some practice☺

because the Nascar season ended and the Golf tournament doesn't really get exciting until the Final Round and because I have a boat load of things I needed (and still need to) do this weekend including laundry, paying bills, bottling homemade Kalua (recipe to follow) changing the sheets, baking pumpkin bread, finishing and listing some earrings reconciling the checkbook and hopefully starting some little penguins . and because Honey loves me..... he volunteered to take the kids on their afternoon walk, which is usually my job. Thanks Honey! You need to make this. You will not regret it☺ Homemade Kalua Ingredients:  3 cups sugar 3 cups water 3 Tbls instant coffee 2 Tbls vanilla paste * 4 cups vodka Mix sugar, coffee and water together and simmer for 1 hour. Do Not Boil. After an hour turn heat off and let cool. Once cooled, add vanilla and vodka and bottle it up. ~Make sure that you mix well before you
