Cards, Cookies and Football!!!

Yeah!!! I finished my Holiday letter....and am putting the final touches (aka glitter) on my "heart" trees. I had written in my cards earlier in the month...but am having problems printing out my envelopes...oh the horrors...I have to HAND address each envelope...sigh....I have 50 done...just another 70 to go!!! Here is a close-up of one of the cards...the first few had dots...for Christmas tree balls...but, I got bored making all those dots....sorry
My other bit of excitement was trying out "Double Delight Peanut Butter Cookies". I saw the recipe on Oprah and had to check it out...I love Peanut butter cookies....This recipe was really easy. First you make a ball of peanut butter and powdered sugar...then you take Pillsbury Peanut butter dough and wrap it around the ball. Finally, roll the ball in a mixture of cinnamon sugar and finely chopped peanuts, flatten out the balls a little and bake...quite yummy...you can find the recipe here.
Have you seen The Blind Side? Oh my...I think this is now my favorite movie....I rate it a 3 kleenex movie...it had so many touching moments and also VERY funny moments. Sandra Bullock does a GREAT job! Keep your eyes open for It's Complicated...it starts Alec Baldwin, Meryl Streep and Steve Martin! It looks hilarious!!!! (funny note: a relative on Jeff's Mom's side of the family was married to Meryl Streep's nephew....Jeff jokingly calls her "Auntie Meryl").
