Santa's Mini Me

There's something about mini Santas that is so appealing.

Stockings all hung in a row

Made these stockings using the stocking cutter from Karen's Cookies. Check out her website. There's a link on the right of my blog. Her products are fantastic!

Mmmmmm... Peppermint

Sure Peanut M&Ms are great and I wouldn't turn them away, but my all time favorite candy is peppermint. Peppermints, candy canes... I love them all. I have the cavities to prove it. Not sure if my dentist would be very happy to read this blog post. Or maybe he would being that all my cavities provide him job security.

More Presents and Bulbs

This set isn't that different from my others, but it's one of my favorites. I think it's one of my more professional looking sets.

Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Beach

If you're anything like me then you feel like you need a vacation after Christmas. I can only imagine how Santa and his lovely wife feel. I bet on December 26, they catch the first plane to Aruba. Once there they spend the rest of the winter lounging on the beach, swimming in the ocean and heated hotel pool, catching up on all the books they haven't had time to read, parasailing, snorkling, kayating.....


Don't forget the sunscreen Santa!

Christmas Anchors Away

My Uncle B is retired Navy and I thought he'd get a kick out of these red and green anchors.

We are Family

These gingerbread guys and gals are like rabbits. They've taken the command about being fruitful and multiplying very seriously.

Redstone Christmas Part 3

The third order for Redstone was for their head nurse, Nancy who led a scrapbooking project. I wasn't sure what kind of cookies to make for someone that like scrapbooking, but who wouldn't want a crown. Her daughters helped with the project. The snowflakes were thrown in to add some color.

Redstone Christmas Part 2

The second set Carly and Leigh ordered was for their Dietary Department. I had a great time decorating this set. The chefs hat and apron cookies were hand cut. The rolling pin was actually made from a hot dog cutter. Hopefully it doesn't look too much like a weiner. I wrote rolling pin on it in case there was any question. The silver square cookie was supposed to be a cookie sheet. Again I wrote cookie sheet on the cookie in case there was any question. The mini tree and snowman are supposed to be cookies. Well obviously they're cookies, but they're supposed to represent cookies baked on the cookie sheet. The measuring cup was actually made from a tea cup cutter.

Christmas at Redstone Part 1

I usually need to muster up a lot of creativity when Carly and Leigh from Redstone Senior Community place an order. A few weeks before Christmas, they requested I make cookies for their Maintenance and Housekeeping Departments. They asked that the cookies have a Christmas theme, but be cookies specific to each department, for example tools for the Maintenance Department.

The Maintenance cookies were easy. However there was a little head scratching involved in figuring out what to make for Housekeeping. The broom is typically reserved for Halloween, but I thought it might work especially with plaid and polka handles. The gingerbread house and shirt were last minute additions.

Snow People and Trees

One of my favorite people at Geneva College ordered these cookies to give as gifts.

Thanks Dr. Stephens!

Santa and Co

The Santa Snowmen were inspired by Sweet Sugarbelle. Check out her blog. It's listed as one of my favorites. She is absolutely amazing and my cookie hero.

How about those red lips on my Reindeerettes. You don't see too many Reindeer gals, but Rudolph had to have had a mom at one point, right? ;-)

Light it up

One of the many Christmas mixes I made this year.

This is what happens when you get out of control with luster dust. A little bit of that powder goes a long way, which I learned the hard way. These little Christmas bulbs are my example of a decorating don't. I should have left well enough alone.

Beautician Magician

I made these for a regular client's hairdresser.

Never doubt the importance of a good hair dresser.

Let It Snow!

I made Frosty and his family as part of a set that was going to be given to a regular client's hairderesser. You'll notice that Mrs. Frosty is holding a broom. Yep, even snowwives do most of the housework. Or maybe she uses that broom to keep Frosty in line. You decide. ;-)

Trim the Tree

Ready for a Snow Day

Gingerbread Family

I think this gingerbread family needs a bigger house. Mrs. Gingerbread's dress was inspired by Cookie Crazie's designs.

On Comet, On Cupid...

Ho Ho Ho

Santa is getting ready to climb down your chimney and exchange presents for cookies.
