Almost to my last word play of 2015….
Me, My Elf, and I
I have been making place cards for a friend’s Christmas Eve dinner for many years. Santa’s helpers were happy to help, taking a break after working so hard all year long. Hope your holiday meal is a very merry one.

You SLEIGH me
Oh the wonder of words and idioms. My fascination with the blend of visual and verbal art continues. Can you hear the sleigh bells ring, as you listen? Cookies hand painted and trimmed with Rainbow Dust edible ink pens. Background mat from InkandElmBackrops.
Polar Opposites Attract
This gingerbread ornament was my contribution to a project organized and installed by LoveBugCookies (per the annual holiday gingerbread cookie collaboration started years ago by TheCookieArchitect). A ‘tree’ filled gingerbread ornaments from around the US/world was placed at the Boulder Crest Retreat for Military and Veteran Wellness in DC. In keeping with my style, I created to a punny ornament that hopefully made our veterans pause for a moment and then smile. Thank you Beth. Thank you Rebecca. Thank you very much, veterans and military personnel.
Harry Potter Potions
Positively powerful Potter potions poised to participate in party play.
Happy Thanksgiving 2015
Hope you ride the gravy train over the turkey terrain to Mount Mashed Potato. May your pies pile up to the skies.
Grateful for my family, friends, and followers… oh and grateful there’s no rationing of sugar and flour. (Cookie cutter Bed moulding from Truly Mad Plastics , gold background stencil Killer Zebras, ‘give thanks and sweet as pie stencil from The Cookie Box).
My best to you all!
FOWL Play
My sister has been hosting Thanksgiving for untold number of years and it it is my God given duty to bring cookies for the dessert table. Usually, that table is quite full so this year I made turkeys just for the kids (by that I mean mentally a kid so it qualifies a few more folks than you would think). These cookies combined The Cookie Architect designed wave cutter with a small candy corn cutter (both found at the wonderful Truly Mad Plastics web site.) The colors utilized were Americolor egg yellow, orange, chocolate, and sky blue (each icing batch had a drop of egg yellow gel to balance all of the hues).
Oh yeah. And one of the turkeys is not like the others. Getting my Sesame Street on.
