Christmas Cheer Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

Christmas is definitely a favorite for many. There’s just so many aspects that are delight to every sense and mesmerizing.

I love to start off the season with a more traditional set of cookies that reflect all the red and green beauty around us.

I named this collection CHEER because these cookies (and the season) do exactly what the definition states…

CHEER: [ cheer ] noun
-something that gives joy or gladness; encouragement; comfort:

May your Christmas season be filled with good cheer!

Rustic Americana Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

Today is Memorial Day….so this is my way of honoring those who have given so much for Americans to remain free.

Hurray for the red white and blue.
I’m a proud American and happy to create this rustic Americana set of cookies.

There’s something about patriotic designs that always make me want to “antique” them and make them more vintage. It’s pretty easy to add age to a decorated cookie. Just allow it to dry overnight and then make a thin mixture of brown dust and alcohol….dab it all over the cookie and then blot it with a clean cloth.

May God bless America.

Christmas Joy Decorated Sugar Cookie Collection

If you’ve followed my site for long, you know that I decorate seasonal cookies far ahead of schedule…..just to be on top of blog posts, tutorials, classes, etc. So this final set of Christmas cookies for 2018 was created back in September.

August and September of 2018 have been a crazy time for me. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and found myself with a new “full time job” of fighting cancer. I barely had any time to decorate cookies. But I was determined to do as many sets as I could despite the lack of time and energy.

The day after I finished these cookies, I had my surgery (mastectomy). I remember putting the final touches on these cookies and pushing myself to get them done because I wasn’t sure when I would get back to decorating.

These are definitely not my best work….and the photos were hurried and forced. But they are part of my journey. I guess it is interesting to chronicle your life by cookies. ;)

Christmas holds such a special place in my heart. And I’m glad I got to dwell on all it means while I contemplated one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. These little bites of joy brought delight and distraction to my heart as I dreaded the upcoming procedure. And it makes my heart happy that I was able to do something I love despite the circumstances. ❤️

May our Christmas season be especially blessed as we contemplate what life really means and cherish every moment we are given.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Yeah…..the BEST time of year to decorate cookies.

CHRISTMAS!

And even though there will be time for the more traditional colors and shapes…..for now, we’re going wild and crazy with purple and turquoise. It creates such a whimsical feel to the set, don’t ya think?

I finally got my first set of Christmas cookies done and all I can think about is the next set. Can’t wait!
