Crazy, crazy week!

I am sorry that I have not updated the blog in several days! It has been a crazy week - good crazy but crazy! I have made 100's of sugar cookies this week. I taught a Holiday cookie class at the Parks & Rec on Thursday night so I started baking cookies on Monday. I had 10 people in the class (a few co-workers surprised me and had signed up and not told me - that was super sweet!) and they each decorated 10 cookies. So, with all those and my samples and the ones I made to be eaten in class, I have been baking my little heart out all week. I love it! The picture on top is a sample of what they decorated. It was so much fun! I can't wait to do my cake decorating and cupcake classes next year (which is just a couple of weeks away!)

This was also the week of parties! My work party was very fun at our boss' house - lots of laughs, good food and a great time! Fran (our boss) was SUPER generous and gave us a really cute countdown to Christmas snowman and a gift certificate to Applebee's, she's the best. She really liked the gift we all gave her too. We had two birthday celebrations at work and then last night we had our Bunco party here and had a great time! Best of all, I got the Giant Cupcake baking pan (it's the one you see on TV and they sell at Walgreen's). I really wanted that too so I am very excited! :-)

I finally finished my Christmas cards today and they will be mailed on Monday. Yay! I always stamp my own cards and this year I am SUPER late - I usually like to get them out no later than Dec. 1st but oh well, they should get to people before Christmas. :-)

So, now that all of this stuff is done and and I have two weeks off of work, I can get back to shopping! I have not even looked at the ads from Thursday yet or gone on any of the websites I go on everyday since Tuesday so I have no clue what is going on. I did peek at the Sunday paper my wonderful hubby got for me today but guess what?!?!? NO COUPONS!!! What in the world is up with that?! Usually after a holiday there are not any coupons but this is the weekend BEFORE the holiday so why no coupons? I don't know. I didn't look at the coupon schedule on Coupon Tom because I was expecting no coupons next weekend. So, if you haven't bought any extra papers, don't and save yourself a $1! Well, that's what happens when you are not on top of things I guess.

I am currently researching all of the sale stuff for this week and will be posting as I find things so keep checking back. Thanks for hanging in there with me during a very crazy week. I promise, I'll get some good deals on here very soon! :-)

Happy Shopping!
