cinnamon ornaments

Liz & I whipped up the Martha Stewart recipe for cinnamon ornaments

and let the kids go at it last week. We skipped the glitter, although I think that 

would look pretty groovy sometime. The little stars in the background will be 

tiny trinkets to add to gift tags. I'm planning on painting the name of the creator 

+ 2010 in white acrylic on the backs of the rest and sending them to the tree.

I kinda feel like this screen should have eyes.

It looks like it could be a very mischievous character.

oh, sugar cookies, how do i love thee?

Let me count the ways.

I whipped up these little guys yesterday for teacher gifts
while happily chatting with Adrienne (great to see her again!).
I like how the colors came out, but the icing never hardened enough 

to stack them, and even saran wrap smooshed things up. 

Not sure what went wrong. I may have to go back to good ol' royal icing.

The kids received new frisbees this weekend and decided to use 

a little sticky putty to give the ol' playmobil guys some adventure.
