Elizabeth @ Lizy B {Christmas Break Guest}

Hi all!  I'm Elizabeth and I write all about cookies over at my blog Lizy B!

I have lots of fun recipes and tutorials for making gorgeous sugar cookies. (They're not always as hard as they look-I promise!) Of course, you can't write about cookies all the time (okay fine, I totally could), so I have lots of fun stories about the munchkins and being a mom, wife, baker and blogger all at the same time.
