Hello to all members, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Behold the 5th batch of the GCBF:

Almond-chocolate biscuits with red currant jam
Chestnut fingers and birdies
Orange hearts
Cinnamon stars
Chocolate stars
Karlsbader Krapferln

Today I've decorated the chocolate stars and the chestnut birds (they didn't have beaks yet) and glued together the two parts of the Karlsbader Krapferln with apricot jam.

As I mentioned before: now that the simple cookies are done, the fancy biscuits take over... *g*

Yep, we've reached the phase where the really fancy biscuits come. BTW, the little birds were created accidentally... I just made the best I could from some shapeless creations made with the piping bag. ;)

They look wonderful and are no doubt even more delicious. :)
