Like Jolene, I think I’d like to crawl into the cosy scene depicted in your painting, Vicki. Such a fun story of working those parties too.

Those yummy-sounding cookies are being “pinned” for a future bake. I think you’re right about small batches being better, but I’m not quite sure why that is.

Never have added bread to my sugar jar. Sounds like it just might work!🤞 Thanks for another lovely post!

Me too! I did the piece of artwork with some children for a school fundraiser and decided that it would make a nice background.

Yum. Peanuts and salt, two of my favorite things! Did you make the flowers and birds background in the cookie picture?
