Not quite Spring yet!

Just a few days ago Spring was in the air...

Today... Spring is most definitely on pause!

This is what our Weather man said would be
a, No accumulation snow event for today

While all that snow is busy Not accumulating outside, I'm going to get busy preparing
for my cookie Class tomorrow evening. You see, I'm often asked about how to bake
and decorate my sugar cookies, and since I already planned to make Shamrock cookies
for Mr. B's Master Gardening group this week, I offered to give a little class for a
few of the ladies I work with! This prep work now will Allow me to have the
necessary, Swap-outs, as they say in the Food TV biz, during my class!

Of course, none of the Success I've had baking and decorating sugar cookies
would be possible without everything I learned reading Bridget's Blog

And, these Shamrock cookies would never have been possible
without the kindness of my blogging-buddy, Diane, who
went out of her way to Send me this cookie cutter!
