Cookie Cuteness

When I got a cash reward at work last September, I decided to use some of the money to get something I really wanted, even if I really did not need it.  I had been looking at getting embossed rolling pin but could never really justify the acquisition.  However, the unexpected cash (plus the tax rebate), gave me the flexibility to splurge.

Etsy has a great selection of embossed rolling pins.  There were several stores with interesting designs.  I settled on the one from Funny-Baker that offered free delivery for a set of four.   It was hard to decide on the four designs because I was drawn to so many of the designs.   

4 Oct --  I identified the ones I wanted --  ladybugs, honeycomb, birds signing, and hearts

7 Oct -- MacGyver helped me with the order and the payment

16 Oct -- the Fedex delivery tracker showed that the rolling pins were already in Australia.  

17 Oct - I mixed up a batch of cookie dough in anticipation of the delivery.

18 Oct --  the rolling pins arrived at about noon 

It was an extra special day because aside from the rolling pins arriving at our doorstep, the lockdown restrictions eased and I was able to go to attend mass in the church that Monday morning,

Eldest Sis, Sister Deer and I were cheered in the background.
