Bakery Style BUTTERFINGER COOKIES

Today was a cool, mostly cloudy summer day with just a few sprinkles

 so a great day to bake!

The timing was perfect as our cookie supply was getting low so even more reason to make a fun, new batch. And, I had some candy on hand, which made the decision of what type to make even easier!

Once the Butterfinger cookies were in the oven I decided to cut out some sugar cookies from leftover cookie dough I had saved in the refrigerator. There was even enough leftover chocolate drizzle to decorate the top these cute little cookies with a simple design to make them a bit more special.

Our stock of sweet treats is now looking good and 

should get us through the weekend 

and hopefully even a little longer.

Happy Thursday!

Precision, Patience, and 958 LEGO Pieces

Paris 

City of Love

This Paris City of Love LEGO a was birthday gift

 and I was so excited I got started on it right away!

It was so much fun and was going great. 

I only had a few decorative pieces left to attach.

And then . . .

all of a sudden, something seemed wrong! 

Very wrong!!

The more I tried to fix it,

the worse it got. . .YIKES!

I needed HELP!!

 So, I sent picture texts to a couple of our many

LEGO experts in the family . . .  

. . . and showed them the problem!

After consultation it was quickly determined 

that this little uff-da  would require some delicate 

repair. They had me deconstruct the entire 

section to get to the mistake. And, it was tricky,

as it was nestled under the tower. YIKES!! 

FINALLY, after my consultation and some 

very careful reconstruction I had it fixed and finished 

just before noon!! WOOHOO!

I love it!💕

Happy Friday!
