Leaving for China today....

Good Morning! Well today I leave for China. I am headed to Shenzhen (just across from HK on Mainland China) to work with suppliers.

I woke with a toothache so I am going to have to find a dentist today and see whats going on. I'm glad my flight is tonight.

I have so much to get done.

Packing

Laundry

Bills

Shopping

Hummm... it is a short list but I'm sure it will take some time!

Love you all... well those I know. I will have fun pictures for blogging with when I return!

Cookie Factory!

This is what I have been doing for the past few days. I got the new Martha Stewart Magazine in the airport on my way back from NY last week. They had the cutest little treat bag in it.... so I made it and cookies to go in the bag. Meg and I did this together for the girls we Visit Teach (not together) plus a few more.

Cut

Bake

Cooled

Frosted!!!

Details.....

OK now this is how we packaged them....

Lost your Broom?Are these not the cutest things you have ever seen????

Magnolia Bakery - The Village

This way to Magnolia Bakery.... made famous by "Sex and the City".

Magnolia Bakery is a cute little shop in the Village that sells really expensive cupcakes that are not really all that good.

These photos are from my first trip to NYC for WM and we ventured out every night to a new place.... I LOVE NYC!

Cupcakes!

Evidently it is quite common for the line to be around the corner and down the street. They only let a select number of people inside at a time....

the rest of you must WAIT! :)

Kidnapped? In Jail? MIA?

Welcome to the confessional.....

OK so I wasn't kidnapped, locked in a dungeon, in jail or out of the country for the past 5 months. Let me just say in a very plain and simple way:

"I want to be a devout blogger but I am not"

....I'm really sorry to the few of you who actually read my blog: Meg, Kathy, Jill and J&J.

I think now I will do a recap of the past 5 months

OR rather

"5 Months in pictures of Miss Nicki"

....coming tomorrow!

(I swear!)

Now I am off to finish making cookies with Meg!
