It may be very late on Saturday (or maybe it's Sunday already?), but I'm baaaacck, nearly on time, with another wonderful hot list full of festive fall vibes. (Say that three times fast!) As with last week, tonight's roundup features everything autumn...
Hey, gang! This week, we've got a great assortment of top-trending fall cookies as well as Watch-Learn-Create Challenge #51 entries in our Spotlight. Speaking of the challenge...
Hi, everyone! This week's Spotlight is testament to the fact that cookies can have a lot of staying power here on Cookie Connection. (Hint: So keep on posting! Posting means long-term visibility, not just in this community but amongst the broader world of visitors, tens of thousands of whom make their way to this site each week.) As it turns out...
It's that nebulous cookie season between summer and autumn when we don't know quite which cookies we should be making! Doubt me? Read on to see this week's hot list, where the cookies range from summery sea scenes to babies bundled in fall swaddling clothes, with every theme in between...
You may still be lingering poolside, or perhaps just starting the summer wind-down and prep for back to school, but the internet is telling us it's already time for Halloween cookies! Say it isn't so?! Just take a look at...
Hi, all! I'm still in Maine on vacation, tending to some stonework that's being done for me, and also working on digital design boards to help visualize renovated rooms in need of furnishings. In between all of this designing, I took a...
Hello, all! I'm on vacation this week through next Sunday, so I'm going to keep this post short and sweet - and I mean that! Without further ado (I told you so), I present the cookies that topped our hot list this week. They include...
Aha! I'm back for the second Spotlight in two weeks! That must be a recent record! I wish I could say things have settled down, but as soon as my new site launched, I kicked into high gear with video production for my new stencil-cutter-video kits (coming in mid-September) and prep for the debut of Challenge #51 in our new Watch-Learn-Create series hosted by Manu. Speaking of that challenge, it...
Hey, all! Thanks for your patience as you've waited for the next Close-up. I've had a rough couple of weeks with helping to pack up my mom's house to ready it for showings. She'll be moving nearer to me here in St. Louis, hopefully by year end, and the real estate agent who's listing her house was adamant that...
Hi, all! First, thanks for bearing with me as I've been slogging my way through a load of website work. After weeks of combing through my new site on multiple devices in all sorts of viewing modes, encountering bugs, and eradicating them, I am pleased to report that...
Hi, everyone! I have been back from my Australia teaching trip for a week, and am still catching up on sleep, LOL. Yes, it was a long trip to and fro, but it was worth it - especially to see students and fellow instructors in the flesh after two years of working in isolation. In addition to the long travel, it wasn't...
Happy Easter to all who celebrate! And what a splendid Easter it is here on Cookie Connection! We've got quite the holiday showing of Easter eggs, bunnies, chicks, flowers, and other springtime themes. Hopefully, you'll find...
Spring continues springing up here on Cookie Connection! After a robust list of springtime and Easter cookies in last week's Spotlight, you all have outdone yourselves again. This week's hot list presents...
Hello and happy spring! My daffodils are in full bloom here in Missouri, and I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of 200 Virginia bluebells that I planted last fall. Though I see no signs of them yet, so I must confess that...
Hello and welcome to the recap of Practice Bakes Perfect Challenge #50! I must admit that this challenge was by far one of my favorites, as it gave everyone a chance to...
