I know that the chevron pattern is "in" right now and I do like it. But I found another pattern that I liked. It came in the inspiration of this: When I saw it in the $1 … [Continue reading...]
Well hello! I know I've been absent for awhile but I'll make it up to you by showing you this: I made this as a combo dessert for my sister's birthday and Mother's Day for my mom since we celebrated the two events on the same day.
