Hi everyone, My name is Marianne. I just recently obtained my HOP (home operating permit/business license) and applied for my Cottage Permit. I retired in January 2017 to write and somehow  in April I became an accidental baker. I am getting all kinds of requests for my cookies! �� This has been very fun for me! 

I'm still learning and I have a motto for my friends and family; Practice cookies are always free! It's during those times that I am encouraged, can laugh at my mistakes, and am able to exchange ideas, thoughts, or sometimes just slow down and enjoy a cup of coffee and a practice cookie with a friend! I'm grateful for these moments!

I love to learn and enjoy reading all of the helpful information that is being exchanged/shared! I look forward to the  future interaction with other bakers. I am excited to learn more from the  variety of individuals whom are sharing their unique gifts and talents.
