New baked goodies...yum...

 Mini Cheesecake bites in little handmade tart shells
 Sweet tater tarts in handmade crust shells
 Handmade pie crust tart shells for the cheesecake bites, these are baked first, then filled with no bake cheesecake recipe...topped with strawberries just before serving...
 Peach upside down mini cakes made in muffin tin...I lined the bottom of each muffin cup with baking parchment for easier removal...
White chocolate chip, macadamia nut cookies, no eggs, no milk recipe....they are the best ever...

Painting Time

 Watercolor paper techniques using acrylic paints...I love this little bear image, I have painted him before on wood, but wanted to give him a watercolor look and update him a little...
I have wanted to paint this one for years...finally got a 16x20 canvas and just went for it...I am very pleased with how she turned out and the little chicks are just too cute...
