Elf on the Shelf Cookies!

Does your house have an elf?

Last year we adopted James...

He's a mischievous little stinker sweetheart.

We've found him in closets, on top of the Christmas tree, in my mixer!

One morning we found him under Jack's bed!! (Which I appreciated, since Jack was supposed to clean under there  and couldn't quite remember to get that done!)

He's quite the little tattletale.... (the elf not Jack....well maybe Jack too)

But with that cute little face....you've just gotta love him.

So if you have an elf in your house...

I hope they catch all the sweet little things your munchkins do this holiday!
And if you can't find him anywhere....check under the bed!
(and if you need a cutter to make your own elves.... try "Marlene" from Cristin's Cookies. That's the one I used! You can find it HERE

Snowflake Cookies for a Frozen Movie Party!

So Olaf made an appearance the other day and introduced himself, but he wasn't the only cookie I made for the Frozen Movie. (he was just the most mischievious)
Tammy from Pink Peppermint Designs emailed me when she started planning her Frozen Movie Party and I couldn't wait to play along!
She asked for little 'build-your-own-snowman' sets for the kids to play with and take home.

I love the little bag she put Olaf and his parts in!

Tammy also asked for some sparkly snowflakes in navy and turquoise to match her background....

I love snowflake cookies....and snowflake cookie pops are even better!

Olaf!!!
Oh my word.

Never knew a snowman who liked having his picture taken quite so much.....

Tammy created beautiful printables for this party...

snowman hats for straws, invitations,place cards, labels, banners....

you can find them all in her shop!

Thanks Tammy for inviting me to play along with your girls!!

I hope they had fun!

(Olaf and I had a blast!)

Whew!

I finally got the little guy in a box!

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Snowflake Cookies

It's finally winter in Southern California.
We woke up this morning and looked out over a valley of beautiful, puffy, white....
...fog.
No snow.  

So I made my own.

Not great for making snowmen or sledding.

Pretty darn good with my coffee though,
 while I'm staring out at that fog.

Christmas cookies...finally!

After a very busy week of baby showers and nursing school graduations....

the first batches of Christmas cookies are finished!!!

A little frosty, wintery goodness!

Merry Christmas.....

....or Season's Greetings, take your pick!

Presents are always nice.

Don't forget cookies for Santa!

All wrapped up for teachers and friends!

I think Santa likes candy, right?

(These cookies are now available in the Etsy Store!)

Thanks for stopping by,
