We've finished the Nespresso craft project with the 5th-grade kiddies. And since I promised adafrog pictures, here are the pictures!

My little angels (sans wings so far; those will come tomorrow):



25 little Christmas elves, made (mostly) by the kiddies:



And the last three, made by yours truly:



I'm not entirely happy with the colours the chrome filter produces, but otherwise the pictures would have been a tad too dark. So, please believe me that they aren't quite this garish in colour in real life.

I also gave spikesgirl58's double ginger cookies a try. The dought is extremely delicious and is currently resting in the fridge. I'm very excited about this experiment, hope the finished cookies will be equally tasty.

And a huge shout-out to Spikey...

... whose double ginger cookies are epic! See for yourselves:



They were a bit pale in real life, so I used the automated correction feature of my photo editing program and they turned into well-baked ones! *g* What technology can do for you, it's amazing:



Looks better, doesn't it? But I didn't want to lie to you folks. ;))

Oh, and by the way, they taste heavenly, too! Mum is enchanted. I foresee a new batch being baked during the weekend.
