Made and decorated these cookies yesterday. I thought they would look good in a flat lay before they got eaten up!

This Blythe doll is Cream Cheese and Jam, posing for the theme “Roses” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I made the dress; the background is scrapbooking paper. I think my best pictures are the ones that are carefully color coordinated, like this.
This was my lunch today... cold basmati rice, canned tuna, black olives, romaine lettuce and tomatoes from the farm market... herbs from my garden...
Recently I did one of my regular trips to our local artisan chocolate maker in the next village and the designs on the tablet looked so nice I got inspired to take a photo of them: one milk chocolate, one dark.
We are now actively engaged in the process of eating them!

National Licorice Day was April 12 and National Animal Crackers Day is April 18
.
Here's some info about National Animal Crackers Day from nationaldaycalendar.com:
National Animal Crackers Day is observed on April 18.
This day brings us back to our childhood memories and the many boxes of Animal Crackers we shared with our friends. Animal Crackers refer to a type of small cookie baked in the shape of circus or zoo animals, such as a lion, tiger, bear or elephant. The most common variety are light-colored and slightly sweet. However, chocolate and frosted varieties are also available. Even though animal crackers are made with layered dough much like crackers, they are sweet like cookies.
HOW TO OBSERVE
National Animal Crackers Day is the perfect day to celebrate that childhood memory again. Pick up some animal crackers at your local grocery store and share them with family and friends. Share your photos of your Animal Crackers Day celebration using #NationalAnimalCrackersDay.
HISTORY
Our research was unable to find the creator of National Animal Crackers Day. It did locate information confirming in the late 1800s animal shaped cookies were imported to the U.S. from England. In 1902 animal crackers officially became known as “Barnum’s Animals” and evoked the familiar circus theme of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Later that year, the now-familiar box with a string was designed for the Christmas season made to hang from the Christmas tree. They were a big hit in 1902 and still are today.

Ce sera probablement mon unique prise de vue ayant un lien avec la St-Valentin pour cette année
I'm trying to get a panel of photos for a competition at my camera club. I forgot all about it so as usual I am very last minute. This is one of the photos I am thinking of using. My husband bought me the beautiful glass teapot and I treated myself to the rosebud tea...it's deliciously refreshing but I realise it wouldn't be everyone's 'cup of tea'. I thought it would also come in handy for photo props...always have to think of photo props ;)
Wishing you all a wonderful, healthy, happy and creative 2018!
You have questions; this girl has answers!
Ichigo Heaven is posing for the theme “Getting to Know You” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I made her dress and hair clip.
I read my first Moomin book in the 3rd grade. The top left, Comet in Moominland, is what I still have from that early collection, 1979.
I've read Moominvalley in November every November for over 25 years and read it sporadically 10 years or so before that. This one is from 1996
And as much as I love in November, Moominpappa at Sea is my favorite. This one was published 1968.
