So excited that this recent shipment of mugs made it safely to North Carolina… just in time for Mugshot Monday! And even better… it looks like they already have a shelf of their own to show them off!!! Thanks Gwynne for sharing your collection… that went from one mug to seven in a blink!

You know how I love a good texture… and I love a good cookie!!! So I had fun this evening doing a “practice run” with my new texture cookie stamps from Fun Food Tools!!! It was my first time so there was a bit of a learning curve… but fun the whole time! And I think this practice batch turned out pretty good… festive & yummy too!!!
