'Tis the Season. . .


This year I decided to spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the season with family and friends.  As a result, all of my good intentions to make a lot of new and different cookie designs will have to wait until next year.  Instead, I opted for traditional Christmas colors, design favorites of the family and some cutters that I have had for years but never used.

I did complete a few orders for friends.  .  . a dozen for Kathy and Joe to send to their friends in Iowa, and a few good men for Lyn to give to some committee members at school.  I changed the beard from last year and opted for a humorous tag.



















I chose Mrs. Claus as the design for the Our Lady of Victory Women's club.  Once again, I revised the design from last year and followed SSB's tutorial to use a Halloween skull cutter in place of my round design.  Mrs. Claus' tag said, "Behind Every Good Woman.  .  .", but I forgot to take a picture of it.





It is somewhat of a tradition that I add a new and different Santa and Reindeer each year, so I added two new cutters to my collection. 















This year the great-nieces/nephews
will find personalized stockings on the dessert table.






Finally, for just a bit of fun, I trimmed my Santa cutter and created Snowbird Santa.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!!
