A new artist pen

 I got a new fine point white PITT artist pen from Amazon, I am looking forward to using it.

Some Funnies

sharing a few laughs with you today:

 

 

Thin and Crispy Oatmeal Cookies

 The English Kitchen posted this recipe for thin and crispy oatmeal cookies, just the kind I knew husband M would love.  I halved the recipe, still using one whole egg of course.  I used quick cooking steel cut oats which gave them a really crispy bite.  We will be making these again for sure.  I have been having a couple with my coffee in the mornings.  Husband M says they are ok on his blood sugar readings.

Paint Party Friday - Penguins

 Welcome to Paint Party Friday, thanks to Kristin and Eva for always hosting so kindly!

I did a Penguin ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in alcohol ink for you today.  Have you ever seen them live? I have a couple of times.  

Rain's Thursday Art Date - Creases

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's "Creases" theme! I chose to show you some origami, it involves a lot of paper creases.

One of my sisters mailed me 2 sheets of origami paper with her (late) Christmas Card last year. So I went on youtube and made a bow and a rose as pictured below, even the 'easy' origami are not as easy as you would think.  I seem to mess up towards the end and have to run the video a few times over. Have you ever tried origami?

 

On the Fish Fillet Sandwich

 Did  you know that McDonald's fillet o-fish sandwich was first created in Cincinnati in 1962 for area Catholic customers?  The story is here.

My baked donuts

I baked these donuts using this recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction.  I had forgotten about this donut baking pan so it was about time to use it again.  I decided to make some plain ones and some cinnamon sugar ones as pictured below.
