SWEET – You Capture

December 9, 2010 by Elaine


Snickerdoodle anyone? I made these SWEET morsels late Tuesday night for a MOMS club meeting on Wednesday morning. Thanks to @poobou and @lovingmom2boys for the idea on twitter (I asked what cookie I could make with “regular” ingredients on the fly and they both answered with “snickerdoodles” within seconds of each other – I love twitter.)

We’ve been eating these SWEET “cuties” by the fives or tens a day. The toddler can eat 4-5 himself.

I found this vintage Santa planter at an antique shop several years ago and it’s never held a plant on my watch. Just SWEET candy canes…

OH! And whose hand is that reaching into the SWEET and yummy “puppy chow”? I’ll never tell…


Also? It would be really SWEET of someone to come address and mail all of these Christmas cards for me. Any takers? I pay in wine and chocolate. And puppy chow.


And finally, no SWEET post would be complete without photos of my SWEET and cute kids, now would it?

There’s more SWEETness at Beth’s place…

    Oh, yay! Glad the snickerdoodles worked. I made them as Christmas presents for our neighbors one year. Pretty easy to do, and very cheap. Can’t beat that.

    And btw, your kiddies are adorable. 🙂

    Sweet!!! I love Snickerdoodles, too! Oh, and you need to get your Christmas card list on your computer so you just have to print the labels out… makes it sooo much easier! (and no one really cares if their envelope is addressed by hand or with a label, I’ve come to find out!)

    We made snickerdoodles last night too. Yum. I don’t envy you all the card signing and mailing, but they look like wonderful cards. Isn’t it exciting when that package of cards comes in the mail?!

    Mmmm… snickerdoodles. I’d forgotten about those. We’ve been going through the oranges here too – at least we’re being half healthy.

    I am also all about the tangerines every winter. Sometimes you get those absolutely perfectly sweet ones…ah, heaven.

    I managed to finish addressing my cards last weekend…such a relief! Hope you get yours done in a stress-free moment 🙂

    Your kids are super cute!
