Wow......Thanksgiving Day has passed and the Christmas season is officially here!
Bring it on. LOVE this time of year.

We're celebrating Thanksgiving tonight since I had to work yesterday.
I've learned to adjust my holidays to accommodate a health care profession. ;)

Everything is ready for Christmas.....and I'm excited.
This last week I had fun trying out a bunch of new Christmas cutters.....
There's so much to choose from these days.
It can be very addicting! haha

I'm teaching a private class this next week.....
It will be fun to teach in the comfort of my own kitchen!
Plus we'll have all the Christmas decorations surrounding us.....it should be a blast.

There's a new social media (very similar to FB) that cookie decorators have migrated to......
so just in case you'd like to try it out, here's my TSU page.
If you need an invitation, use my short code "cookiecrazie".
Hope to see you there! 
Maybe we will all actually get to SEE each other's pages that we've liked. ;)
I'm off to prep for tonight's feast.....

Happy 2015 Thanksgiving!





Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.
Psalm 107:8

I am giving thanks for so many things this season.

I hope that you and your family have time to stop and reflect on all things for which you're thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Christmas decorations are all up......just in time 
for very rainy weather that kept me home most of the week.
What a treat to just "be" in the house and enjoy the decorations while I decorated gingerbread. :)
Soon I'll have gingerbread cookies hanging from my cookie Christmas tree,
and everything will be complete and "ready" for the holidays.

I have to work this weekend AND Thanksgiving Day, 
so it is super nice to have all of the prep work done ahead of time.

There's a new social media (very similar to FB) that cookie decorators have migrated to......

One week to Thanksgiving.......Yeah!

I haven't decorated ONE cookie this week. 
I know....how strange is that?

I have dedicated this week to decorating for Christmas. 
I always try to decorate before Thanksgiving just so I can enjoy the decorations longer.
Plus, I put up a lot of Christmas trees.....so it takes some time.
And I'm determined to space it out over several days so I don't dread and hate the process.

It's so fun to unwrap all the treasures from past Christmas's and ponder the memories.
And I love lighting the house every evening with a winter wonderland. 

Next week I'm going to make some gingerbread cookies to hang on my cookie tree.
What a joy to delight everyone with treats they can snatch off the tree when they'd like.

:)

I'm obsessed with making scrapbook-y cookie tags now that vellum is possible.

Ummmm..... Target had some cute cutters just in time for Christmas/Winter for only 99 cents ea.
Somehow they made their way to my house......
(Seriously though.....isn't that the cutest gingerbread boy & girl?!) :)

Thanksgiving Burlap Text Cookies (Tutorial)






Since handwriting on cookies is not a favorite task of mine,
I always try to find ways to use text on cookies without having to actually pipe letters.

For these cookies, I found Thanksgiving-related shapes that were big enough to contain the
large block letter cutters within them.

Cut out each shape and after it is on the cookie sheet, cut out the letter in the middle of the cookie.
(see below)


Once the cookies are baked, outline and flood the letters with tan glaze.
Allow them to dry for at least four hours.


After the dry time, press the burlap silicone texture mat onto the letters.


Decorate the shaped cookies as desired.


Dry the cookies overnight.

Brush on dry caramel dust to the burlap letters to accentuate the texture.
