Christmas Cookies 2018 - Paint Your Own (PYO) Gift Kits

Christmas 2017: trees

I sure hope I am not the only one failing to multitask in preparing for Christmas this year. At some point I realized everything was packaged and I had not taken pictures (packaging = glare). As an added bonus, when you don't have a fancy photo set-up, late nights and bad weather mean you cannot get good lighting for pictures.

All of this to say, the trees were some of my favorites this year, and I have a very limited number pictures.

Christmas Fun with Family!

My best friend and her family live in San Antonio, and at the start of break, I headed south for a visit.  Her sisters-in-law have been pumped over this whole cookie endeavor and wanted me to show them how it is done.  So, I packed up 4 tupperware containers of stuff, icing, and cookie dough and went on a trip.  I didn't get pictures of everything, but these were kind of fun, so I thought I would share.  I would also like to mention that two of the gingerbread girls were harmed in the chaos, and I stitched them as a fun way to deal with their damage.




Christmas Cookies - Round 2

I received an order for Christmas party cookies, and she was wanting trees and snowflakes, and I had been dying to use the Christmas light cutter I was given.  So, this what I came up with:

Christmas Cookies....Round 1

Two posts, one day, I know....shocking.  While I have the camera, computer, time, and myself all together at once, I have to take advantage.  This past Tuesday I received an email inquiring about some basic Christmas cookies for an open house event.  Since I was going through dough trials at the time I had quite a bit of red velvet made up so I asked if that would be okay for the party, and with approval I proceeded with a cream cheese royal icing.  Now, I have really elaborate Christmas cookie designs pinned on Pinterest and I don't think there is any way to get all of them done this year.  Not to mention, I have to be very careful not to get too terribly excited with the orders or I will add too many details (which were not requested) and potentially push the deadline too close.  So, with the reins pulled in tight, I started on my first set of Christmas cookies (snowflakes, stars, houses, and trees).  

Have a look:










I would also like to point out that I learned how to use the white balance on my digital camera this week, and these pictures were all taken at night.  I will work on better backgrounds next, but hey, we have advanced to almost real pictures now!
