Nutcrackers......I did it!

Sometimes I get grand ideas in my head.....mainly because I want to make something special for a friend. This week was one of those times.

I have a good friend who lives in Cleveland.....and she is one of my biggest fans. She loves my cookies and gushes all over them every time I give her some. In fact, she loves them so much that she wants to keep them for weeks and show them to everyone else before she lets her family eat them!

I wanted to make her something very special for Christmas and found out that she collects nutcrackers. I really didn't study the subject well, because once I had the nutcracker cookies made and the piping bag hanging over the cookie......I realized that it was a bigger task that I'd thought. But I plodded through and decorated four Christmas nutcrackers for her. And I was happy with the results. Apparently my friend was too. Her husband said she "nearly flipped her lid". :)

Since her husband and four sons have been so patient to wait to eat cookies each time, I decided to make some "plain" Christmas cookies for them so that they could all eat theirs right away. hee hee

So here's the "plain" cookies for the boys........



And Debbie's nutcracker cookies.......


Very fun, indeed. Especially to bring such joy to a friend. :)

This week is very busy for me. Hopefully I'll have time to pick the winner of the give-away tomorrow. Stayed tuned for the announcement.
