My favorite holiday. Family, friends, food, and a long couch on which to take a nap. Oh, um, and a little odd sense of humor 😉
Trekkie turkey. Live long and prosper?
T.Hanks.giving thanks. (so sorry Tom Hanks. your acting and name are perfect.)
Decree of thanks to all who follow this blog. Especially thankful for our 2 daughters (without whom I wouldn’t be creating cookies or have learned how to blog.)
Lastly, I’d like to serve up some gratitude:
Can you imagine being married 61 years? Quite the accomplishment so I wanted the cookies at their party to be sweet and elegant yet celebratory! I used ivory and a dusty rose (dark pink with a splash of ivory) and some gold highlights to that end.
The customer gave me this photo of Nonna and Grandpa. I wanted a lace like frame so I pulled out a sugar sheet and a trusty Martha Stewart edge punch and voila!
Nonna is said to make the best meatballs in town and Grandpa the same in wine.
Here’s a toast to many more years!
Tic.tock, waiting for that midnight kiss. This clock fulfilled my requirements: completed ever so quickly and able to feed a lot of kids. There are about 60 cookies on the tray and the glaze icing is super simple (powdered sugar, water or milk, and coloring- only the “hello 2014” is royal icing). Deliciously counting the minutes until the new year.
Thanks for a great 2013. May every year be better than the next!
James is officially a licensed driver! Be sure to carefully follow all road signs, including these. Oh, the sweet smell of independence… or is that just an invigorating whiff of sugar?
Congratulations, Laurie and Tony, on your engagement. Wishing you many happy years together!
