Finn's Lumberjack First Birthday Decorated Cookie Collection

It's hard to believe, but my first grandchild has turned one year old already! He was born November 2016 and suddenly one year rapidly went past us, and he turned ONE! Wow.

My Finn (Finnegan Asher) is all boy. And he's super precious. (Spoken by a new grammy....) He was born premature (34 weeks) at 4.1 lbs and things were a bit scary on his birthday. My daughter was in critical condition and they had to deliver Finn in an emergency. But praise God, he has grown and developed well this last year and is all over the place now. You'd never know by looking at him that he was so small when he was born.

I've enjoyed decorating cookies for many many years now......but nothing tops making cookies for my grandbabies. What a joy it is to dive in there and create memorable cookies for their very special days. I count it such a privilege for the opportunity.

Happy Birthday Finn! 🎉🎂🎈  We love you so much. ❤️

Rustic Weathered Wood Ombre Heart Decorated Cookie

This idea came when I saw a photo of a rustic ombre heart with vintage paint across the wood surface. So I guess it's a combination of ombre, wood plank, and peeling paint. 😳

 

Add impressed lines across the cookie dough before baking. 
Paint the cooled cookie surface in white food color gel.
Using thickened glaze, spread random amounts across the planks to give it that rustic look.

A fairly simple technique for a very trendy design... 💗

Homespun Christmas Tree Decorated Cookies (Tutorial)

This is one of my favorite Christmas cutters.
Several years ago, I designed this shape with some good cookie friends and the cutters were made in mass quantity. But eventually, they sold out of the cutter and it was hard to place another order. Thankfully, my good friends at Creative Cookier agreed to offer this shape in their shop. You can find the "Homespun Christmas Tree" cutter HERE

Refer to the video and photos below to learn how the two homespun tree designs were made.

And there you have it......two fun homespun Christmas tree cookie designs.

 
 

We Gather Together Thanksgiving Decorated Cookie Collection

The best part of the Thanksgiving holiday (besides the giving thanks to God part!) is gathering together with family and showing gratitude for all the things we are blessed with. I always immediately think of the hymn "We Gather Together". I have sweet memories from my childhood of Thanksgiving Day preparations with my dad and then the time for the family to gather for the day and enjoy each other (and lots of food.....of course 😳).

Here's a collection of cookies to express my heartfelt gratitude and thanks to God for all He does and that He allows me to express myself here on this blog. What a privilege it is to carry out His purposes each day of my life.

Thank you for "gathering" here on a regular basis and supporting my work and mission for Him. ❤️

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
