Good morning everyone, it is a really cold morning here in Texas. I've had to make a fire the past two days, because the mornings especially have been pretty chilly.
I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend. We have a new week ahead, as I always say, a blank slate and a chance to start fresh, remember God's mercies are new every morning.
I need to post the Advent Calendar gifts for the past two days, I just haven't had a chance to get on the computer. Yesterday we had a broken pipe out back, the one that connects to the toilets. Ugh! Thankfully my husband and brother in law, were able to get it fixed, and replace the broken seal for less than 20 dollars. It's always something right?
Anyway, let's get going with our post.
Condiment bottle for easy icing decorations
Decorating cookies for the holidays is always fun and festive, especially when the whole family gets involved. Want to make it easier to be precise and cleaner with that icing, then just use plastic condiment bottles to squeeze your way to perfection. 
Have a blessed week my friends!
