‘Twas the Night Before Christmas… and all through the house…
I’m wrapping, packing & baking… and trying to take time to relax & enjoy my own holiday decorations. Appreciating a wide assortment of ceramic ornaments I’ve made over the years… and realizing I might “need” to make some NEW ornaments for new year. Keeping the “standard ornaments” of course… let’s not get crazy!

And for those who might need a little more clarification of the main FESTIVUS festivities…. here’s some clarification from one of our favorites Frank Costanza… the “Father of Festivus.” So get your aluminum pole ready…

While everyone is frantically shopping, wrapping & cooking for Christmas…
don’t forget to take time out of your day to celebrate today
with a “FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US.” Today’s your day to let it out!!!

You know how I love a good texture… and I love a good cookie!!! So I had fun this evening doing a “practice run” with my new texture cookie stamps from Fun Food Tools!!! It was my first time so there was a bit of a learning curve… but fun the whole time! And I think this practice batch turned out pretty good… festive & yummy too!!!
