Christmas Over, New Year Begins With The Impact Driver the Favorite Toy

Posted on January 21, 2012 by Julie

I think my Christmas cookie baking scenario should have given me an inkling that 2011 wasn’t going to go out easy. For starters, I’ve never had a problem making cookies.  This year it seemed I made batches of my usual … Continue reading →
