  1. I want to learn how to pipe royal icing! I’m all in the baking mood, tired of pies, it’s time for cookies!
    I’m heading to Sleepy Hollow NY this weekend, time to see some pumpkins, and hopefully the Headless Horseman!

  2. I love BOTB posts, and I love that you put them up on Fridays. They give me a whole weekend of reading as I dive into the blogs behind each of the posts. I always ended up completely inspired. Thanks so much for doing this series!

  3. Love your BOTB always Kate and look forward to it always. Faves are the shim backing and the acrylic pulls! Fantastic!
