Pieces of my Puzzle 1-26-14


Happy Sunday!

I wanted to start off by apologizing for being so sparse here.

Life...well...it is crazy here at The Cookie Puzzle.

So....what has been going on?

Well...this week, I posted some really
cute mini Farm Animal cookies.


After receiving the mini cookie cutters for 
Christmas 2012, I am happy how they
turned out, and to get them off my bucket list.
Do you have a bucket list?
I do....and it is so long, I am not sure I will ever get to it.


I have been really enjoying joining Link Parties lately,
and this week, I was honored to be featured in not
one, but TWO link parties.



These little bites of yumminess were featured at 
and

Do you like link parties, I do, I love them.
They are a great way to gain blog traffic.
They are a great way to meet amazing new blog friends.
AND... you can find wonderful new blogs to follow!

To see a list of blog link parties I join, click Here.
If you host a link party, or join one that I don't, please let me
know...one can never Link Party too much!


Ok...now....I want to share something with you.

I try to keep my personal life, well, personal, but
my personal life has been preventing me
from blogging and baking like I normally do.

I have been working on a BIG PROJECT!

The biggest project I have ever taken on in my life.

I would say it has consumed every weekend since
November.

Wanna know what it is?

Well...here is a little hint.



Then this happened.


Then this happened!


Have you figured it out?

My family is building a new house!

And by WE...I me...WE!

We contracted the concrete, framing and roof, but
most of everything else is US!

Well..we are having a little help from close friends,
but most of what is being done is being done
with our own hands.

So most weekends, I am yielding a hammer
in place of a whisk.

So....if I am MIA for a bit..
I have not disappeared...I am just a little
busy.

I work a full time job, and have 2 days to
try to work on the house, bake recipes, take pictures,
edit pictures, write blog posts, join blog parties

Sorry..please don't take it personally,
I still love you...and still love baking and blogging.

I am not sure how much of the new
house I will be sharing here, maybe
a little update here and there, but
I don't want to chronicle the whole
process here, this is a baking blog, right.

AND...we have a pretty distinct taste in house styles.

When people see it, we get mixed reactions.

If you follow me on Pinterest my
House Ideas, will give you a gimps of our decorating
and design taste.

So...there you go

that is what I have been up to.

Until next time


Hugs.
