Visions of Sugarplums

The Christmas rush has had me going around in circles here in our little part of the world.  While I would love to say that I have spent hours in the kitchen making beautiful Christmas cookies - the fact is - I haven't ~~ 


Everyone on my Christmas list will still be getting beautiful cookies tucked inside their Christmas bags - thanks to the talented and wonderful Christmas cookie elves on ETSY.  These little decorated trees will grace our Christmas eve dinner table. 
 
These little candy cookies will be tucked inside treat bags for some of my co-workers. 
A little something special for the mailman, and the lady at the post office who helps me mail all THOSE nests, and for the sweet lady at McDonald's who serves my 2 unsweetened ice teas every morning at 6 am as I go to work!


The most adorable reindeer cookies for the little ones at our family gathering on Christmas Eve~

And because I still have not come down off the "Partridge nest" high - the most perfect Pear cookies to share with my friend Mary who helped me to make those incredible nests.   


Beautiful Christmas trees to share with some very special friends~


More special cookies for our Christmas Eve table~


 and also for our Christmas Eve table~

~~~~
To all of my dear friends this Holiday Season~
I wish you every joy, every smile, every precious moment your heart can hold.  I wish you love, and laughter, and hope for a bright New Year.  I wish you love this Christmas and always~~
Vicki

ps - when I return just after the Holiday break - we will start out the New Year with a little traveling to the top of the world.  I will take you to a beautiful place "where treetops glisten"~~

You mean you didn't make all those cookies?!!!! ok I'm out of here! haha

are you kidding I haven't decorated a cookie in a decade! maybe more. You do so much and heavens you have a full time job to boot. That's what etsy is for after all.....to support the ones that have a certain talent. Yours is to make incredible nests!!!!!which bring joy to so many.

Love to you for this holiday season.

Those cookies are just the perfect touch to add smiles to everyone on your list. Those pear cookies sure do sound good right now "peared" with a nice hot cup of tea. heehee xoxo ~Lili
