Happy "Belated" Valentine's Day!

Hello friends! 

These are half of the cookies I wanted to make for Valentine's Day, but didn't get done until today.  (The other half, I have put in the freezer, with the languishing cake pop cakes and the Christmas cookies I still haven't had time to decorate, for the the time when I have more  time to do what I really wanted to do... by then, nobody will want to eat them, but they will be BEAUTIFUL! ;^)



They would have turned out better with Royal Icing, but I just didn't have the energy for that this morning and had a ton of fluffy frosting left (because I didn't make the cupcakes for Reader R's class.  Yes, I am still feeling guilty about that...).


"My Fuzzy Valentine" Monster Sweets! 
Thank you, Georgeann, at LilaLoa for the inspiration.

"Forever LOVE Stamp"
My first attempt at a sprinkle stencil. 
Would have been better with RI.  Oh well. 

And a few Hugs and Kisses!
Simple "Conversation Hearts" can say so much.
I also just wanted to share this word of truth:

"In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."   1 John 4:9-11


That is the reason we celebrate this fun holiday!  Thanks, Tracy for the reminder.

Happy "A Few Days Late" Valentine's Day!

On the Seventh Day of Cookie Christmas...

Sweet Sarah gave to me, Seven Sparkling Spruces... (Ok, that is a stretch...)

Traditional Tree

Modern Tree Set

 


















I made TONS of trees this Christmas, but this is my favorite.  The idea came from my Isaiah Bible Study.  I love the little heart-shaped red hots for the "fruit."  (Although I went overboard on the leaves.  In this case, less would have been more.)
 "There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit."
Isaiah 11:1

Christmas Stamps
Day and Night Snowy Window

 These trees were fun to try too!





My "Curious K" got a LOT of practice decorating cookies this Christmas.  She created this one at her preschool Christmas party.  Now, that is my kind of craft!  (I baked the cookies and frosting.  Katie helped make the star-shaped mints for the topper.  They are decorated with M&Ms.  Fun and YUMMY!)

Merry Cookie Christmas!

Sarah

P.S. - I am also very much aware that it is painfully obvious that I can not count.  I can, in fact, count... I just have too many fun cookies to share, so I am having to squeeze them in somehow. ;^)
