So today’s the day! Last day to post for a chance to get your name in the drawing ONE LAST TIME! It’s been fun! Can’t believe how quickly March is zooming by! The girls don’t have school this week and are out for Spring Break. So yesterday afternoon we made some shamrock cookies! My Mom’s sugar cookie recipe is THE BEST!!! I swear we have a cookie cutter for every occasion in this house so there is ALWAYS an excuse to bake cookies! Don’t they look yummy? The last thing that’s going in the green giveaway box is this Wilton Shamrock Cookie cutter! Here is the recipe if anyone wants to try it!
Mom’s Sugar Cookies
1 pound margarine
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. lemon extract
1 tsp. almond extract
6 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
Cream together margarine & sugar. Add eggs and mix. Add vanilla, almond & lemon extracts, mix. Add 6 cups flour, baking soda and salt. Mix together then chill dough 1-2 hours in covered bowl. Cut and bake at 375 for 8-10mins. Enjoy!
I am going to post again later tonight and announce the big winner! You only have until 3pm CST to post. It’s gonna take me a bit to make sure ya’ll got your names in the drawing as many times as you posted! YAY! So excited to send this package off!
Wear your green today so you don’t get pinched! 
OH!!!! One more GREEN thing I found online that I gotta share! I WILL be using this myself too! CLICK HERE TO PRINT!!!!!

YUMMY!! Those cookies look divine! Sugar cookies are the best! My kids and I made some last night too…nothing as fancy as yours, LOL!! Just the Pillsbury ones that you open and bake. They were an Easter theme tho…;o)~ I also LOVE those Wilton cookie cutters. They make such adorable ones for each holiday and the comfort-grip is GREAT! Thank you so much for the early FUN filled days of March! Checking your blog each day has been one of the highlights of my day! Thank you again for your generosity in making someone feel luck, luck, lucky!! ;o)~ Hope you and your kiddos have a wonderful Happy St. Patty’s Day! Enjoy the time with them on their Spring Break. Take care! ;o)~

This has been so much fun. The cookies look very tempting. I don’t know where you find the energy and the time. Just looking at them and thinking about baking them makes me tired. Happy St. Patricks Day.

I have green eyes and Erin means Ireland so I figure even if I forget to wear green I’m covered. Actually, if you look at me and my girls, we all have very different shades of green on and it looks quite disgusting when we stand together.

There was a young lady one fall
Who wore a newspaper dress to a ball.
The dress caught fire
And burned her entire
Front page, sporting section and all.
