Okay, I have to be honest. The shop just called back on my truck and my mood has dampened slightly since my original plan to start this post. Correction - mood majorly dampened. Who wants to go from calculating the month's budget and coming out ahead, even after Christmas shopping, to then being so far behind you aren't sure how your going to make it through the 10th, much less the first of the year. Sad day. But, I am trying to tell myself that I am lucky, the problem is repairable, I am not totally without a vehicle (just until Friday), the engine isn't blown...I am lucky and it will be okay. Phewf. Enough of that....back to happier times.
So, company came just before Thanksgiving, and this company arrived wanting to make cookies! I had all of the cookies ready and the icing prepped so only the fun part was left. I really went all out. Made my first attempt at royal icing transfers, tried a new turkey design, and baked horse shapes (without an icing plan)... Here are some photos of the fun:
The few remaining transfers:
My best friend's niece catching on SOOOOOO fast:
I did not get enough pictures before, but here are some creations by the team, all packed up and ready for the Thanksgiving trip back home to the family:
This is a platter I arranged once our company had left and we headed north to celebrate with my husband's family. I know you have seen these already, but I feel like this is one of the best photos I have had to share:
At my sister-in-law's house I realized I had not gotten any pictures of my latest turkey creation (transfer and all). I also feel that a random remark from one of my close friends needs to be shared...She accidentally called the transfers royal icing "transplants" which is actually perfect in a way, and totally hilarious!
I am sooooo looking forward to my first-ever Christmas cookies!!!!
