Lora said yes to 100 sugar cookies 🎄
|
Hey there, Reader, Ethel Sue has a mystery board. Lora has 100 Christmas cookies to decorate. 🙈🍪 I’m not sure which situation is more dangerous. While Ethel Sue was busy covering her Mystery Board with index cards, photographs, and a suspicious amount of yarn, Lora agreed to make one hundred beautifully decorated sugar cookies for Willow Creek’s annual Christmas Tour of Homes. Ethel Sue volunteered to help and brought edible glitter. 😅💁♀️ Her decorating skills may be… creative. But she works for cookies, so nobody complained. 😂 Thankfully, Lora has found the perfect recipe. These cookies actually hold their shape in the oven—so your stars stay stars, your Christmas trees stay Christmas trees, and nothing comes out looking like an unidentified object from Ethel Sue’s Mystery Board. 😁
And while the cookies are baking... 🔎 Download the FREE A Merry Little Mystery word search → A little baking. A little word search. A little Christmas. 🎄 And if you’re wondering where the Willow Creek Christmas Tour of Homes came from, you'll learn more about it in my new Christmas romance, A Christmas Favor, coming October 18! 🎉 Grace + hugs, Melissa Alyse ❤️ P.S. Book 7 is only 99¢ through this weekend! 🎉 When The Fences Come Down is officially up for preorder, and if you like snagging a book before the price goes up, now’s your chance. |

Hey there, Reader, I hope this note finds you well today. I was sitting on the front porch the other evening with a glass of sweet tea, watching the sunset. The sky had turned that beautiful mix of gold and pink that makes you want to sit still for just a little longer. So I did. Then a cool breeze drifted across the porch. Fall is coming. I smiled at the thought. Cooler mornings. Changing leaves. New Bible study starting. Sweater weather. 🍂 But as I sat there watching the last bit of...
Hey there, Reader Last Sunday, you met a few of Ethel Sue's new neighbors. They are a hoot, aren't they?! 😁 But I also left you in Meadow Ridge with three missing decorations. By 8:30am that morning nearly half the neighborhood had joined the search. Naturally, everyone had a theory. You see, just yesterday Reg had been caught “inspecting” one of Helen’s other wreaths. Fred owned a truck and knew how to restore old wood. And Dot, well she has the means to move things... she has a golf cart...
Hey Friends! For five mysteries now, Ethel Sue has taken us all over Willow Creek — down to Corpus Christi and even over to Magnolia Bend for Lora's cookie contest. But this time? The mystery comes right to her own front porch. Welcome to Meadow Ridge. It's the new 55+ community (some of y'all would call it a subdivision) tucked inside Willow Creek, next to The Grove and the new golf course. Close enough to Main Street that you can still run in for coffee and be home before it cools. Before...
