1982739872 baked goods

Did I miss Monday’s update?  Yes, yes I did.  Not even a filler.  Terrible, I know.  Well, by the time I had some free time to post, it was already late into Monday evening and I decided that it would be better for my sanity (and yours) to just get some sleep.  So, here I am, all slept up, and here is a post.

What was keeping me so busy recently?  Well, I was in Wisconsin for a month.  Makes it hard to work on projects you have lined up at home.  And then there was that wedding I had to go to this weekend.  Which was in the Bay Area.  Which involved a lot of driving without a lot of sleep in between.  On somewhat short notice because of my passengers had forgotten she needed to be back in SoCal in the early afternoon.  Zoymbing, ASD, and the like.  And then there were those 1982739872 baked goods that needed to be made.  Those are related to the changes I was talking about last week.

So, about those changes…I resigned my position at Company.

Last Friday was my last day.  Technically, I am unemployed right now.  But I’ve already accepted a position with THEM.  I just don’t start with THEM until July though.  So, I get a small break in which to try and put my life back in order.  The 1982739872 baked goods were for the last hurrah on Monday.  I could have brought them on Friday, my last day, but then I would have to endure all the well wishing and such all day.  Much better to just delay a weekend, drop off the stuffs, and leave.  Grampaw thinks I need help because I planned this all out.  Apparently normal people don’t think about these things?

The 1982739872 baked goods

In case you’re wondering, I made them spice cupcakes stuffed with maple whip, chocolate fudge cupcakes stuffed with strawberry whip, and the bosses got cherry and/or maple apple pie jars.  Grampaw and FSB got the boxes of pie jars.  The rest of the bosses got singles.  I…hope they came out ok.  I was so sleep deprived when I was making these.  It…could be really bad.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled ridiculous…

Swap: Dog treat edition

I recently participated in a swap in which you traded recipes for dog treats with three other people.  But, the recipe had to be presented on a decorated card.  Here’s what I sent out.

I punched little bones into the side of the card (you can see the postcards I had the in background peeking through) and then doodled over the rest of the card.  The dog saying hi is from Cricut (Paper Pups).

To continue with the theme, I wrote little notes on dog shaped cards that I cut from miscellaneous pieces of scrapbooking paper.  This…ended up being a bit of a problem.  I had to use my larger scraps and one of them was from this project.  You see, with the sickly green background and skulls and crossbones, you might think that I was sending a recipe for poison.  That’s…totally not true.  My dogs are very fond of these biscuits.  They always know when I’m going to make them and you can’t push them out of the kitchen.  Yaris will even go and wait next to the oven while they’re baking.  You can make them for people too.  Just add more honey.

Anyway, I carried my dog theme out all the way to the envelope with dog stickers and Up themed stamps with Dug and Mr. Frederickson featured front and center.

I am thorough.

I’ll update the post with the recipe later as I’m currently gallivanting about in Indiana and I don’t have access to the file. Or you can try making out those decorated cards. I actually sent along non-decorated cards to my swap partners too since the decorated cards were so…decorated.
