Autumn GOODNESS Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

I’m dwelling on GOODNESS today…..and decided that autumn is filled with lots of it. :) It’s so vital that we choose to look for all the good in our lives, rather than dwell on the not-so-good.

Autumn brings such delightfulness and fulfills all the senses. I love the season and am truly looking forward to it with this super hot summer that we’ve had. I don’t want to wish my days away…..but the heat sure has me longing for cooler temps and all the GOODNESS of fall!

🍁🍂🌻🌾🧡

I’m headed to some important doctor appointments in the next couple of weeks. It seems appropriate to thank my doctors/staff for all the great medical care they have given to me.

Here is the first installment of thank you cookies for my healthcare providers. :)

What better way to love on them than to create and share some cookies of gratitude.

Harvest Blessings Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

Harvest time produces blessings…..so many things to be thankful for.
It’s a perfect segway into Thanksgiving.

When I reflect on blessings right now, it’s hard, yet easy. I DO have so many blessings…..and I’m working to not allow the negative things to get in the way of being thankful. When you sit still and look over your life, you realize that God allows us to continually reap a harvest of incredible things HE has done.

I’m blessed. I’m thankful. And grateful to express it all here.

🍁🍂🌻🌾🧡

Pumpkin Spice Decorated Cookie Collection

Pumpkin Spice is a favorite among many during the autumn months. I’m a fan…..albeit not as crazy as some. But I love chai tea lattes……so it makes sense that I’d love this spice combination.

The whole spices were made out of edible clay (recipe on this site) after staring at many many photos upon googling them. haha It was challenging….but loads of fun.

Happy Pumpkin Spice season! 🎃🥧🧁🍩🥤☕️🍨🎃

Autumn JOY Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

Oh autumn……you are so beautiful!
I love this season.
It brings me such joy…..thus I’ve created a set of cookies to express that autumn joy.

As I sit here on this 90 degree summer day and anticipate this upcoming fall season, I wonder what things will be like in just a few months when the weather turns cooler and the leaves begin to change colors. I’ve always done my cookie sets ahead so that I could have content for my site lined up in advance. It’s kind of ironic now…..because in many ways, there’s no need to “have content for my site lined up in advance”. I don’t do any of this to raise money anymore…..it is all purely out the love of creating. It’s what keeps me going everyday. It’s not really for anyone else, as much as it is for me. And right now…..it’s extremely helpful to think about something so lovely as AUTUMN. :)

May this cookie set bring someone else as much cheer as it did me as I created it.

Thank you God for bringing joy when there seems to be none. You have done great things!
