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.

Snowflake cookies........

I love snowflakes.

Not the real ones.....y'all know I like SUNSHINE. I love fake cookie snowflakes.

The past two days have been so nice because I haven't had to go outside. That's right.

My fantastic husband has brought the kids to school for me! I love it. I can stay snuggled under the covers.

I wonder how long it will last? I mean he can only take Hannah Montana and Justin Bieber so long.  The girls told him he was boring and they want mom back.....HA.

Mom's fun......dad's boring.

Well while dad is out in the 34˚ cold weather, I'll be home in the toasty house,  baking wintery cookies.

Sound fair? Ok who cares if it's fair, right? As long as I'm warm. Besides, I can make you cute cookies.

Here are some snowflakes I made for those of you who love the cold.  The would go great with some Hot cocoa.  I had been wanting to try
