Candy Dipped Sugar Cookies by Andy ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00974

The other day I took Andy to Michael’s to use some of his gift cards from birthday and Christmas. While we were there he chose to pick up some different colored candy melts so that he could make some cookies. He wanted to dip one half in one color and the other half in another and then drizzle some of the melted candy across the top. We convinced him that maybe dipping both sides might be a bit much and so he could dip one half and then drizzle with the other color. I think we have to work on the consistency of the melted candy to make it actually drizzle because when I tried to drizzle the orange on the cookies it plopped down on the cookie and looked like the bill of a duck. So they came out looking like some crazy duck cookies. We didn’t mind because they tasted really good.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
