Peppermint Oreos

We are doing a Christmas Cookie Exchange for work tomorrow ... an excuse to taste several kinds of cookies???  Yes please!!  I chose to do Peppermint Oreos - they were so simple.  Kind of time consuming but well worth it!  I will be posting pictures of all the cookies I scarf down taste test later.

Recipes that call for only 3 ingredients are the bomb diggity!

I chopped mine mostly into a powder and left some small chunks.  Dear hubby informed me some of my chunks were too big and he hopes people don't break their teeth.  Thanks dear hubby for your concern...now I'm paranoid to even take them to work...maybe I should just keep them at home and eat them all myself!! :)

Also - the last recipe I needed crushed peppermint, I used candy canes and they were a pain in the you know what to unwrap.  The small candies were much easier...just a little tip!

The original recipe called for white chocolate but I find these candy melts are easier to melt and they also come in purdy colors!

Who doesn't love Oreos?!?!

Such ooey gooey goodness!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Ok...to the dress.  I knew exactly what I wanted.  I wanted it to be short, satin, and a "pick-up" style dress.  I looked around at David's Bridal and other stores but I just couldn't see spending more than $100 on my dress.  (I've been married before and had the big, fancy wedding - and we see how well that worked out!!)  So this time, I wanted a small wedding and didn't want to spend much.  I walked into Ross one day looking for something else and decided to walk through the dresses to look for a dress for my sis, the MOH.  It was like the clouds opened up and the angels were singing and the sun beamed down on this dress.  You can't really tell fr...
