Anatomy of the Mitten Cookie

 
 
There were several questions about the mitten cookie I received yesterday. The size is small - 3" in length. It's plain on the back and is unfilled. The dark edge is piped with a thin edge of dark red and then rolled in a glittery sugar the same color. The white 'fur' top is a thick layer of white frosting rolled in tiny white balls. That's the anatomy of this cute mitten cookie. I used the Scrabble tiles for scale.

The sheepskin is now MINE. Love, Tabitha.

Beautiful Outdoor Christmas Tree

I'm so glad there are people who decorate live trees instead of cutting them down. I hope all of the decorations in my neighborhood didn't blow away in last night's howling wind and heavy rain. It has subsided now, thankfully! Be careful if you are traveling home for Christmas.

I'll Go with the Oreo

I sent this to several friends yesterday by email and they all loved it. via

Mitten Cookie

A friend sneaked by my house just now without detection to leave a mitten cookie for me. Isn't it wonderful? It makes me happy just looking at it. Now that I have a picture, maybe I'll eat it later.

Hohenzollern Castle, Germany

Germany is supposed to be magical at Christmas. This castle in the clouds looks amazing! via

Too Pretty to Cut

Let's decorate this one in place. via

Tiny Puddle Loving Boy + Dog


This is simply wonderful. Over 4 million views too. In case you haven't seen it, click here to watch on YouTube. It is so heartwarming to see how carefully the toddler puts down the leash before going back to play in the puddle. That dog is pretty wonderful too.
