Happy fall, y'all! This week, I've been in Maine at my home-away-from-home, enjoying a little time off, replanting pots for the fall, continuing to furnish the house (which may take the rest of my lifetime at the rate I'm going), and just generally enjoying the scenery. It's a glorious time to be here, as you can see below!
I'm also hoping I'll return home to Missouri fully replenished with loads of holiday cookie ideas, as I'd like to get in at least one more cookie class before year end. But 'til then, I'm kicking back and just taking in your grand cookie creations. This week, we have yet another wonderful fall-themed roundup, full of inspiration for seasonal sets. Just take a gander below, and I'm sure you'll agree with my assessment of the site's fall splendor!
#1: Windy Fall Day by lulubakes
#2: Portrait Cookie by Mahsa_abbasi [EDITOR'S NOTE: New member @Mahsa_abbasi wows us for the second week in a row with another incredibly detailed clown cookie. The tutorial for this one is featured in this month's Cake Masters Magazine. You'll find the link to it in the comments under Mahsa's post, and I encourage you to check it out! ~JMU]
#3: Grateful ♥️ by Heather Bruce Sosa
#4: Fall Pumpkins (Stringwork) by Zeena [EDITOR'S NOTE: Special congrats to @Zeena on this very clever and effective 3-D construction. I am suitably impressed! ~JMU]
#5: Painted Autumn 2024 by Barbara Ells
#6: Halloween Sprinkle Wreaths by Susie Jacobs [EDITOR'S NOTE: As one who is woefully inept at sprinkle application, I was utterly dazzled by Susie's painstaking and artful placement of them in this set - so much so that she got my vote for this week's cover spot! Well done, Susie! ~JMU]

Congrats to all of this week's honorees on their wonderful work! Also, my apologies for the spotty nature of my comments, but my internet connection here is even more spotty. In fact, I lost this post three times in the course of composing it when my internet connection dropped, so I decided to stop writing and just get it posted. When I'm less likely to hurl this computer against the wall 😣 (hopefully sometime tomorrow), I'll send out badges and get this Spotlight's alert up on social media. Stay tuned. When back in Missouri next week, I promise to be more chatty! 😀
