Your Fruits of Plenty finish is absolutely STUNNING!! And great progress on Ella!! But, oh my....you had me at those treats LOL. I used to make a Mexican chocolate cookie (for Christmases Past) but they were rolled and cut out with a VERY stiff dough. I broke several wooden spoons LOL...but, oh were they good! ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteThe treats look so delicious, Edgar. Well done on getting Fruits finished! It is stunning. Ella is looking fabulous.
