Cookies to send to friends in Iowa and Ohio are baked, decorated, packaged, and in the mail.
The Ho-Ho-Ho cutter is new this year. I have made them before by piecing two cutters together, but this year I purchased a cutter designed by Mike at SemiSweetDesigns. I was unable to manage the crisp clear lines that Mike had and my elf looks a bit tipsy, but I keep telling myself, "it's just a cookie."
I had no intention of repeating the cars and trucks that I made last year for my family because it is time consuming to piece together the car and tree from two cutters. However, when I found this tin and card with the same theme, I thought they would be a fun package to send to friends.
In addition, an internet search helped me find some inspiration for more realistic looking trees.
Finally, I had to purchase the new cutters designed by my favorite cookie mentor, SweetSugarBelle. That reindeer just makes me smile.
To friends near and far,
love, hugs, cookies,
and
a very Merry Christmas!
Your designs are NEVER "Just a Cookie." This set is beyond fabulous, my friend! (And the photo is such phun!)
