Pretties and a Cookie Flop

Both of these paper crafts make me want to wander the paper isle and then hole up creating.

Paper pumpkins from WhipperBerry. Would have already tackled this one, but the idea of hands covered in Mod Podge is holding me back.

Paper wallflowers from Billie Monster. But where would I put them?

 If my KitchenAid had these vinyl decals it would get pulled from its cozy corner on the counter and put front and center.

Unless a chocolate chip cookie recipe calls for oatmeal they don't turn out for me. I was hopeful when I saw this recipe. But it was the same story, different recipe. Do you know the tricks to make a perfect chocolate chip cookie without the oatmeal? I need help.
