P.S.  Every now and then life throws you a few curve balls and things don’t always go as planned.  I’ve had a crazy busy couple of weeks and my dear friend Sue from The View from Great Island came to the rescue by putting together this amazing roundup of terrific thumbprint cookies so I would have a post to share with you today.  Thanks so much Sue – I don’t think I can express how much your friendship means to me and has for many, many years.  Thanks for sharing your amazing talent, generosity, creativity, support and enthusiasm!  Bloggers are some of the best people I’ve ever known.

I’ve always loved your thumbprints Tricia, and this round up was so much fun to put together ~ after I finished I had an uncontrollable urge to preheat the oven and get baking! I treasure our friendship too, and I’ve been inspired by your gorgeous blog ever since my very first days of blogging <3
Tricia Buice
I get those baking urges and then HAVE to make cookies too. Thanks again Sue – you are a sweetie!
