Mr. Claus......

That's right SANTA.

You can't properly do a corset for Mrs. Claus and not do something for Santa.  It's just not right.

So I thought and thought and came up with BLAHHH nothing.  My mind is just in other places right now...sorry it just is.

HOWEVER........I couldn't leave you with nothing for the big man.  So I made Santa's belt on a round cookie. I know, I know,  It's been done before in different forms. BUT, it's what I got okay.  Sometimes we just all have similar ideas.

When you think Santa, you think red and round right? SO....simple, yes a simple round cutter. If you cookie, chances are you have a round cutter.

Take the round cutter and make some round cookies. SIMPLE right?

Outline in red royal icing, then fill with a 15-20 second red icing.

Add a belt with black royal icing and let dry for several hours.

Add buckle with a yellow royal icing.....add gold disco dust and there you have it. SIMPLE Santa cookies.

Now if you wanna get fancy hop on over to

Sweet SugarBelle's

and see what she's whipping up tomorrow. She's going to take you step by step to make some adorable Santa cookies at

Katrina's Kitchen

. But that's tomorrow.

Today you just have me and you are stuck with my simple Santa belts.

Good things are to come though. I've got some really cute cookies coming using my ornament cutters from

Fancy Flours

.

Mrs. Claus's Corset Cookies

Brrrrrrr

I told y'all I hated cold weather.....with cold weather comes SORE THROAT!

No fun

scratchy

barely there, but sore enough to irritate the heck out of me.

Yep, I have sore throat.

Now for a normal, average, everyday kinda girl, a minor sore throat may not be so bad.

BUT....for a talking, cleaning, talking, baking, talking, OCD kinda girl it stinks! Did I mention I like to talk? Yeah that's me, chatty Cathy....or Chatty Giselle as some may say.

So sore throat is NOT my friend, and it must be gone....SOON.

Meanwhile, I'll text everyone I know because it requires no voice. But just so you know I'm not a texter.....I do not like to text. For today I'll have to learn to be more like my teenage daughter and text at warp speed.....like I talk.

Ok so let's get to the cookies. I made Mrs. Claus Corset cookies.....cute huh? Mrs. Claus can not be running around in a dress and apron around here. It's corsets all the way. What do you think? I used a 

scalloped edge corset cutter

 I purchased from coppergifts.com. It was item #4570....lots of plans for this cutter.

Meanwhile, I'll lay here in bed, with my sore throat and sketch out some Christmas cookie designs for a bit.....at least until lunch time, then I'm baking....nothing can keep me from my baking...lol. After all, Y'all need to see cookies.....right?

I hope everyone is having a WARMSORETHROATFREE kinda day.
