Handmade gift idea
Bake some delicious cookies and present them in a beautiful gift package created from a Pringles can.
This is a great idea for a back-to-school gift for your child’s new teacher. Add a tag saying “Have a great year!” to the front.
Find the recipe and package creation instructions at The Paper Pony. Print this easy gift idea and keep it in your Custom Cookbook in a tab called “gift ideas”.
Endless cooking advice and recipes
Ever realized you are missing an ingredient and wish you know what you could use as a substitution?
Check out Chef Tom’s recipe forum at Recipesnoop.com. It is full of recipes, tips, definitions, and advice. I don’t think there is a cooking question that doesn’t have an answer in this extensive collection of cooking information.
You can get his free cookbooks, too. I have been trying out his recipes 2-3 nights a week for awhile, and they are easy and delicious.
Quarterly room clean out
I periodically go through the kids’ rooms and clear out the junk, but I like the idea of scheduling it on a quarterly basis. Find out more at PenelopeLovesLists.com.
Cheap decorating idea for a small kid’s room
Check out how cute little dresses hanging on a clothesline looks in a little girl’s room at Momspark.net. You could use sports-type shirts and baseball hats to create a boy version.
Shameless self promotion 
Check out my new blog at Finding The Humor. My favorite post is “What I could have done with $900″.
Did you discover any cool finds this week?
I may have to check out the cooking site because I definitely don’t excel in that area;)

They have been really easy to make. Looks like all the forum members contribute to the recipes. I’m still cooking out of his Chef Tom’s first cookbook. I will make it back to the forum soon. I need new recipes constantly to make it more interesting..and the kids can’t automatically say “I don’t like that” if they haven’t tried it. ha ha
Alright, now I’m hungry for cookies. I totally want one of those big chocolate chip cookies, the “cookie cake.”
It’s on stumbleupon, under the “blogs” category – hope that helps some.

I am Cookie Monster…all cookies must stay locked up somewhere in my house. It is the one dessert I can’t pass up.
