Welcome to Crazy Sweet Tuesday, where sugar is the main event!
Before we start the party, I want to give a shout out to a fabulous photographer here in the Sacramento area (well, Rocklin/Roseville if you know where that is). Kellie from Kirkpatrick Photography did our family photos last weekend and they are fabulous! If you are looking to get some photos done for Christmas or just because, go check her out. Take a look at some of the awesome shots she got:
{I think I need to get Mel a shotgun.
}
{I’m not sharing the 3 of us…because, well. It’s my Christmas card and I haven’t sent them yet!}
I know she’s running some specials through December 31, 2012 and you can get some awesome photos for very affordable prices. You can also find her on Facebook. Tell her I said hello!
Now, onto the features!
Peppermint Fudge by Shugary Sweets
Peppermint Crumble Bars by Something Swanky
Better Than Cookie Dough Cheeseball by White Lights on Wednesday
Nutty Coconut Caramels by The Kitchen Prep
Nutella Oatmeal Lace Cookies by Half Baked Harvest
And the most clicked sweet was (and I’m sooo not surprised by this because I got a mouthful of dust when I licked my screen before I remembered they weren’t actually on it, just a mere photo):

Hi there! I’m Dorothy, the crazy gal behind the blog. If you didn’t already know, I’m crazy for crust…and cookies…and brownies…and pretty much
anything with sugar.










Oh my word! Your pictures are gorgeous!! Jordan is so pretty (is it weird I want her top?) and you and Mel look fab! You’re such a hottie!
Thanks for the sugar fest!

Dorothy, your photos are wonderful, if only I lived a little closer, think Kellie would travel 2000 miles for a photo shoot? Great features I love all the holiday treats everyone is making, and since it’s just photos, no fat pants required to look and drool! Thanks for the party as always!
oh I have always wanted to do pictures, but then I know how I always make crazy faces and hubby always has his eyes closed and the kiddo well he hates his braces right now, so I will live through you LOL.
