Friday Peeks

Hooray, it's Friday!  For me, Friday means frantically cleaning, because I have house guests coming tomorrow!  It's okay though, I'm really looking forward to having this specific company staying at my home.  While I'm breaking, I thought I'd drop by and give you a sneak peek at my closet clean-out.  I haven't forgotten about it... my partner in crime has been a tad busy and has not yet brought my dress form from the basement so I can take pictures.  Fingers crossed for next week!

I hope you have a lovely weekend!!!  xoxo Katie

Things I Love About Summer

Summer is definitely in full swing around here!  While I'm trying to stay caught up on orders and prep for Renegade Chicago, life is charging around me.  Lunch dates, pool time, house guests, vacation planning, last minute drives to Branson to pick up dream guitars, and friends, friends, friends... it's great.  :)  The best part is the amount of time I get to spend with my little Hope.  There is always such a change in her personality over summer.  Less negativity, less shyness and inhibition... it really gives me perspective and reminds me of how hard school can be... even in elementary school.  Anyway, as this is a happy post, here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately:

I made my own tags with some linen and a typewriter.  I love them. :)

Fireworks watching.

Sadly, I did forget my camera, but we still haven't shot off the $20 worth of fireworks we bought, so who knows... maybe more fireworks pictures to come.

This cutie sloth is on her way to her new home. :)

Road Trips.

Lunch dates.  :)

Summer days and dream guitars. 

I hope your Summer is beautiful.  xoxo Katie  (P.S. Sorry about the weird spacing with the text.  I'm having a lot of problems with Blogger lately.)

Household Favorite.

Most of you already know of Heidi Kenney.  She is Hope's absolute favorite.  Absolute.  Here is another great example of why:

Cookie Party!

In my circle of friends, there are only a couple of ways that I'm "famous".  Okay,
so famous may be overstating it, but if you ask my pals, I'm usually known
for cooking or baking, and my silly love for dresses.
(also, some of them would share that I'm highly opinionated

when it comes to music, but we'll skip that one)  ;)  Today I'm going to share a
recipe that seems to be my go-to cookie.  There are very few ingredients, and these
cookies are seriously SO YUMMY!

Katie's Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg

sprinkling of sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix ingredients well in large bowl.  Roll dough into

1 1/2 - 2 inch balls.  Using a fork, scoop a bit of sugar and press fork into ball to flatten. 

Repeat, crossing the opposite direction.  Bake for approximately 8 minutes.

*****************************************************************************

These cookies are SUPER rich, so even though this recipe only makes about a dozen,
they still go pretty far.  The picture above doesn't have the sugar or Xs on top, because
these were for my step-dad for Father's Day, and they had added Reese's Peanut Butter chips. 

Mmmmm!

If there is a recipe you'd like to share here on my blog, please email me at skunkboycreatures@yahoo.com.  I'd love to have you!

Have a lovely day, Friends!  xoxo Katie
