I call upon You, for You will answer me, O God;
incline Your ear to me; hear my words.

from their adversaries at Your right hand.
Psalm 17:6-7

Thank you for your wonderful recipes. Please send labels for the SW Sweet and Spicy Glazed Pecans. They should be a great
gift! Thanks so much!
Sure, Shirley!
Would you kindly send the labels for the honey caramel almond shortbread bars. If they are anything like your cookies ( which my family votes are consistently the best cookies) I’m sure they will be fabulous. All my family loves any kind of baking that includes nuts.
Sure, Anne-Louise!
