Cookies, Gifts & A Finished Quilt


I was looking for 
a different kind of cookie to bake
and when I didn't find what I wanted
I decided to create my own. 


The biggest surprise was . . .


They turned out good, LOL

Actually I created this recipe last year,
but decided to share it today :)


This lovely handmade card
and gift was a surprise in our mailbox
the other day.

Thank you, Marilyn of
Pink Paper Cottage
You are so sweet and the note 
you wrote inside touched our hearts.

  16. Hi Connie, Your quilt is beautiful. The card that was sent you is so pretty. I looked at her site and she and her sister had made lots of Christmas cards. How fun. Your cookies look delicious but I have to eat gluten free so I am not tempted to make them! Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Nancy

  29. Those cookies look devine! I LOVE lemon. I'm going to save the recipe and try it out... as I love anything lemon. Did I say I love lemon? I have to eat gluten free, but I think I can convert it to GF. And your quilt... amazing and lovely. I am amazed you finished it so fast.. and now will be on to another one! Wow. I still haven't started the baby quilt for our new granddaughter.. she was born on November 30th! I'd better get busy huh? Was gone for 5 days over Thanksgiving, so now I can get to work. I'll be using quilt as you go, so had better set up my sewing machine now and get started. I used to love to sew but now I just procrastinate about it! Hope you don't get too much snow! It's such a bother.... hugs.. Marilyn
