Welcome Home Cookies with Royal Icing

Sweet Sesame Dressing

A few weeks ago, I attended a Women’s Expo held by my church.  It was an event to showcase the talents of the women in our church and to share skills and ideas with one another.  There were many booths set up including sewing, scrapbooking, bicycle care, photography, gardening and more.  One of the booths [...]
