Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming... where did 2009 go?!

Can you believe it is almost December?! Here are some Christmas cookies and some Thanksgiving turkeys :) I have plenty of other Christmas designs... These are just some of the ones I've done!

Fall is around the corner!

Hard to believe with the Memphis heat, but autumn is coming! Celebrate the season with "fallified" colors. I love that word. Fallified. My mom made it up many years ago, and we use it all the time :) I also love the swirls of colors in these sugar cookies... reminds me of the wind whipping the leaves around once the trees have changed colors. *sigh*

Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers...

I love these sweet baby buggies! I can make them more boyish too... I've also got a really cute onesie cutter that is precious when decorated with a peter pan collar piped onto it for a girl or plain with piped "snaps" for a boy. The "M's" were made for a baby shower and also, a friend of mine gave birth to a sweet little girl named Lucy, hence the "L's"... I indulged her husband's sweet tooth when I took them dinner!

AARRRGGGHHH!

My son had a pirate birthday party a few weeks ago... These were our party favors. I've got a whole set of pirate-themed cutters sure to satisfy your little swashbuckler!

All Creatures Great and Small

I love "critters"! These frogs fit the bill for a little boy's birthday treats at school!

Tailgating and College football!

Football season is almost here! These cookies were all really fun to make. I claim no affiliation with any team... although I DID grow up in the Starkville area... Anyway, I can do pretty much any team you're rooting for! I made the gift bag of assorted Mississippi State cookies for a friend to send to a special college student down in Starkville. What a fun way to surprise someone who may be missing home!

Flip Flopping

These flip flops were the first cookies I decorated for someone else. Pretty appropriate given my affection for wearing flip flops! They turned out really cute, but I've also come a long way since then and use some different techniques to create cleaner lines on them. I've done them without embellishments as well... equally cute!

Crazy Daisies and Smiley Faces

Daisies and Smiley Faces are two of my favorite cookies to decorate... they're always "happy" and there's not really any limitation on how to make them special! A new twist I've decided I like for the "Crazy Daisies" is to make the centers out of colored melting chocolate. It's a nice surprise to get a bite of something (else!) yummy in the middle of the cookie!
