LOL! SO GOOD TOO! Love all the pictures and what an adorable camera bag. Your cookies look so good too! Loving your Christmas tree Vee. Speaking of recipes. I am SO BAD to add on and take off when it comes to reading the recipes and doing what it says. Sometimes I FAIL! That is what I get for not following the recipe. Other times...I have mastered a new technique. Hope you have a Very Merry Christmas Vee and a wonderful New Year.

The hand pie looks scrumptious and we all know that with the imperfect ones, the calories leak out immediately, falling to the floor in invisible crumbs. <br />Comfort and Joy are wonderful things to share these days. We are all in need of it in this broken world. I am so glad that we know the giver and source of true comfort and joy. <br />Blessings to you, Vee, as you prepare for Christmas. I hope, along with others, that the urge to post once again before Christmas hits you hard! <br />Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-74510769075286218782018-12-11T09:56:23.667-05:002018-12-11T09:56:23.667-05:00I've got to come back and read this again and ...I've got to come back and read this again and visit those links.<br /><br />I enjoyed "What's the Point" so much that I sent the link to a daughter-in-law and sister-in-law.

I love the butter cookies but have never tried using the cookie press...I'll just enjoy others'. The packing material is perfect for the nativity and the tiny lights are perfect. And what's not to love about a lacy curtain, especially one as gorgeous as yours...it looks perfect there! It's definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas at your place!

I enjoyed this chance to see and hear about the Christmas plans taking place at your house. All looks lovely and the cookies look delicious.

Otherwise, I prefer just rolling them into a log and slicing them once they are chilled. But this mold makes them a festive Christmas gift. <br /><br />Oh... I learned a long time ago to always read a recipe all the way through.
