Today, wishing a very Happy Birthday to Varnafinde, who is a delight to know!

I thought this somewhat resembled a mallorn leaf cake. Enjoy the virtual tasting!

Thank you so much! Such lovely cake and cookies!
I celebrated the day with a shoppping spree at a nearby shopping centre - including a trip to the library
Also I had fun in the MouseHunt Game and was lucky to "win" a very rare item to use in a new mousetrap

Love the cookies, fantasia! Remember them when my birthday comes around next year again, particularly that Bag End door. ♥
Sounds like a fun day, Varna, especially the library trip. And cool winning the rare Mousehunt item!
