Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange 2021

Hello friends! Welcome to day 2 of the: Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange at Just Let Me Quilt. My projects are first, this Sallie Snowblls doll. She is made from a pattern by Sanker Studios, and was so much fun to make. She is holding a little wooden snowflake, and wears a red holidays hat with a jingle bell atop. Notice that her shoes also have jingle bells.

Next is a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting and blue snowflake sprinkles. While not a homemade recipe (from "tha box") it was still tasty for my neighbors and myself. There will be another cake baked closer to the holidays. Be sure to visit all of the other bloggers to see all of the goodies that they have created and baked:

Oh I do love your dolly. That face, is just too cute. Vanilla cake sounds wonderful to me. A good white cake is my favorite.

Who says a boxed cake isn't homemade, you still have to mix it together and add frosting and any decorations.
