whose idea was this? Oh, mine, that's right. Well last night I rolled out these babies:
Snowmen for Christopher's pre-school Christmas party on Thursday.
They are a very sturdy shortbread recipe (that is actually a recipe for cookies to be used as ornaments) but they are tasty. And they last a really long time. These are the base cookie for most of my iced cookies. The snowmen above will be iced and wrapped individually for the kids. I think a custom tag is in order, too.
This picture, that I took in Macy's the day I took Marilyn to the ballet....
inspired this year's cookie theme. I've had these circus cutters for ages and think I can make them fun for the holidays. That dancing bear has no idea she is about to become the Sugarplum Fairy.
All this baking is making me want to sit at my desk and make something out of paper. I had a unique opportunity to do a little scrapbooking at work today. I helped my boss make a book for a colleague who recieved a very high honor from the ASID. This is a really bad photo but it's shows the binding of the 8 1/2 x 11 album made entirely from cardstock. The covers are 2 pages of cardstock (taupe and powder blue) sewn together. Then front and back were folded and attached to the pages like a post album. It came out pretty cool. I feel hundreds of similar mini books coming on....
I also had the exciting opportunity today to sit and wait for a client delivery. My delivery window was between noon - 2. Naturally, the truck pulled up at 2:15. Had I gone and gotten the Dunkin Donuts coffee I so desperately needed and wanted on my way over, making myself a few minutes late, it would have come at noon on the dot. Anyway, while I waited I worked on some card sketches that I think I'll use for this weeks Cards Magazine blog challenge. I'll post what I come up amidst the cookies...
