First Day Back To School

Where did summer vacation go??? :(  Well, what can you do? 
Since it's back to school, I guess that means back to school baking...  I made some Butterscotch Cookies this morning. A double batch.  

I really liked them with butterscotch chips, but we don't have any. And no money and I'm not going to the store just for that. So, I just made regular ones.  

Made four dozen. (Not all here.)  

And, besides laundry and dishes I managed to get this done so far.  I have had this pattern leaflet (?) forever! I don't think I have ever made anything from it, either. I am getting a birthday box together for a pen pal of mine. This is going to go in it with some other stuff I got, but haven't taken a picture of yet.

I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos on making tags lately. First I watched this one, then I don't remember how but I found this one and thought it is SO cool!! I immediately started going through our stack of bills.  

These were the first tags I made, from the first video. I haven't done anything else with them yet. 

After I watched the second video, I immediately started making flowers. I have one finished here. But I have done two more. Oh I finished a tag too. But I am not super happy with it. I still have to finish decorating it, though.

I don't know if I posted about the Mini-Stocking Challenge/Drive I signed up for. Well I signed up for one. :P  I pledged to do ten. And, here are my ten. I think I will do more. I have one more almost done. But I am not committing to more. Just whatever I get done will be what I do. 

I had big hopes and plans about things I was going to do on Eon's first day back to school. Sigh...  I did get cookies made and a dishcloth started though.  (And some housework, and wrote a letter to someone.)  I can't believe my baby is a Sophomore already!
