Happy New Year!!!!!!

(a bit late)

What a crazy, fun, blessed and fantastic year 2011 was!

I can’t believe how fast it flew.

I also can’t believe my last post was pretty much a month ago…

Thanks for sticking by me last year and supporting me with your comments and kind words!

I hope this year brings you health, happiness and adventures in baking land!

Want to know about these cookies???
