Okay… finally, the post from last weekend. My camera never did wake up by the way. But I did manage to get all the photos off using a friend’s card reader. Yay! Unfortunately, no built in card readers on my printer or computer… Boo!
And, I would have posted this last night, but I spent the evening at Pioneer Woman’s book signing in Atlanta. Fun! Fun! More on that soon. Thankfully, I did have a working camera with me for that. A brand new Canon Digital Rebel XSi that I borrowed. It’s nice having generous friends. But, I kinda wish I hadn’t started using it. I might not be able to give it back. Bigger screen, More megapixels. And I’ve convinced myself the photo quality is far superior. It is. I know it is. Maybe my camera will be unfixable. Is that a word?
Anyway, here’s the goods or goodies from last weekend.
It’s coming up on Christmas, so I wanted to make some decorated sugar cookies. But I didn’t really want to make traditional Christmas shapes. So instead, I used a cute little cupcake cutter I recently bought. I also went with a less than traditional color scheme and chocolate sugar cookies to help make the colors pop.
I love sugar cookies. Too bad I love them more than they love me. I’m still trying to perfect my piping. I will not give up. I will have non-lumpy lines one day.
These were two of the better ones.
These … not so much. But squint and they’ll look better.
See …… Okay, I’m kidding. I kid. These are the good ones. Well, the better ones anyway.
It helps to plan ahead when you work with royal icing. Draw out the colors you want for borders and the colors you want to fill with in advance.
The cookie recipe is from the book, Cookie Craft. Get a copy if you have any desire to learn how to make these kind of decorated cookies. It’s jam-packed with tips and tricks.
Or maybe you’ll win this.
Yes, the original Cookie Craft came out with a mini Cookie Craft Christmas book.
Also with recipes, ideas, and tips. It’s very cute. And small, which you know I like.
You’ll also get this cute 2-piece cupcake cookie cutter set. Love it!
And some cupcake stencils. You can use these on cookies, too.
A cupcake-shaped cake tester. This totally unnecessary utensil was too cute to pass up.
And so were these mini spatulas. I bought all the goodies (except for the cookie book I picked up at the bookstore) from Crate & Barrel if you want to look them up. I like finding cute things. Hope you like them, too.
And it all comes stuffed in a sparkly stocking.
Enter to win it all.

I want a deep freeze for Christmas, so that I can do more baking and cooking up a head.
I really love all the cake pops you make. I am going to try making some this year, infact that is why I got on your site so that I could look at your stuff and start making it for my kids teachers Christmas gifts.
Thanks,
Lila mom of 9 in Kansas
For Christmas I would like a KitchenAid Stand Mixer! I have been asking Santa for a while now…
i wish it’ll snow in San Francisco, this year ! :)
Oh my gosh, ive never won one of these. Let it be me!!! Keithjohnson208@comcast.net
A new computer….mine is about to crash and makes funny noises!
I want a beautiful, relaxing Christmas Day, watching my 3 kidlets frolic among wrapping paper scraps while I sip on cocoa & eat yummy cupcake inspired cookies!!!! ;)
I want my dream job!! :P
OMG, those cookie cutters are too cute! And the rest isn’t bad either. :)
I am hoping for a safe trip back to our families’ homes and to see SNOW while we are there! I miss snow where we live now!
I’m not sure what I want this Christmas, but I know NEXT Christmas, I would love to have moved back out of my parents house. I don’t know if my bf is ready to deal with me that much, though… hehe
I want to be somewhere warm! Maybe Hawaii, but really anywhere that it’s not frigid and/or snowing.
I want an acceptance letter into nursing school!
I wish for a consistantly clean house, but would settle for a Roku.
I want a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer!
I want a Kindle so, so, sooo bad…
I just want to spend time with family and friends this year…money is tight, so it’s extra special.
I already have all that I NEED, and my wonderful hubby just got me what I WANTed: a new Nikon with a couple of different lens. It’s so much fun!
I would love to spend time with my brothers for Christmas since this is the first holiday they’ve been home from Iraq in 3 years! I am also still waiting on Santa to bring me that pony I’ve been asking for since I was 5….
I would like a Roomba so I wouldn’t have to lug our vacuum up and down the stairs.
All I want for Christmas is… a 90th Anniversary KitchenAid mixer! Oh, how freakin’ awesome that would be!
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. Well I guess I have those. I’d really like a white Christmas!
Ok…this time I just couldn’t resist!!!
This kit you have arranged is just the cutest of all times!!!
Specially because I adore Xmas!
It is just the best of times….with my family alltogether (at least most of it….hehehe)! I also want just to enjoy time with them and share laughs and hughs!
Well….and if I manage to get this wonderful Xmas cooking kit then my Xmas will be certainly the best one ever!!! Hehehe
By the way….once again you have made such cute cookies….I am in love!
Thank you for all your amazing and inspiring posts!
XXXXXX
Ana.
I want to visit friends and family.
I would love health & happiness for my entire family.
I’m hoping I get a Wacom tablet for my digital scrapbooking. :)
I would just like 2009 to end and bring on a better 2010.
I want a fun time with family and to go to the Pancake Pantry while in Tennessee. Just being with my husband and kids and watching them enjoy the season.
For Christmas I’d like some high quality art supplies!
LOVE the cookies!!! I want my husband to be healthy and me to be thin…. well let’s start with thinner. I would love a puppy and a kitten and a Kindle. Merry Christmas to all!!!…….
This might sound silly but all I really want for Christmas this year is to have my tonsils removed. I can’t breathe at night and I just want it done!!!
A baby brother for my little girls!! :0) We’ll see if my husband can manage that gift!
I want a snuggie! And all the teasing that would come with it :)
I want a New Ipod since mine has the white screen of death but i would rather have a DSL camera since i have really got into photography. Most of all I wish my family aunts, Uncles and Cousins would come together once again like we used to but I know that’s not going to happen because one family live in Korea and we wont see them in tell they back.
Those cookies are adorable!!
What I’d really like for Christmas is to arrive safely on our drive from Saskatchewan to Ontario for the holidays (with four adults and two giant dogs crammed into a neon!)
Also some baking goodies would be nice!
Besides wanting that adorable stocking filled with all the goodies?? Hmmm… an italian houseboy-slash-chauffeur would be nice.
*wink*
This is the cutest stocking/present ever! I want copic markers for christmas. but I would love this stocking, lol!
I want good enough weather to fly home to California for Christmas!
I like you would just love to spend time with my family this Christmas and all the days leading up to it. And i would love to have more cookbooks!
some quiet time with friends and family. (and a grad school acceptance letter wouldn’t hurt either!)
I want my f-i-l to come home from the hospital, so my boys can see their beloved Grampa for Christmas….but I’ll take a new green velvet scarf if that’s not an option.
This Christmas, I want everyone to experience the joy they felt as a child. Naive though it sounds, this is my favorite part about Christmas. I really just want everyone to be happy, and believe in the holiday magic, and all that jazz. So c’mon guys… turn up the Christmas music, watch some twinkling lights, and sip some egg-nog (and now that we’re “grown-ups” it can be spiked with some irish cream – delish). Just let all of that sickeningly sweet holiday cheer overwhelm you. Merry Christmas y’all.
What I REALLY REALLY want is a PINK kitchenaid stand mixer. And to have a nice Christmas with my family. Oh and those super cute cupcake cookie cutters would be nice!
Merry Christmas,
All I want for this year is World Peace, Time with my Family, and a little chocolate, or maybe alot of chocolate.
I’m not hoping for anything specific this Christmas other than my mother in law to get well. She had a stroke yesterday and can not move her left side. So a full speedy recovery is all I’m asking for! Love your cookies!
I just want a new house. With twins and a two year old our house is getting smaller by the second!
These cookies are SO cute! … I am looking forward to FUN times with friends and family who I haven’t seen in WAY too long! I’d like a purse for Christmas. Not a gigantic one, but it has to be kinda big to fit ALL of my stuff :).
I want my precious Christmas baby to have the best birthday! And I want lots of wide eyes and “oh wows” to come from my two and a half year old this season! Oh yeah, what I secretly want is a FULL NIGHT OF SLEEP!! :) Got that Santa! WOuld love this kit to make cookies for my baby girl’s party!
i want more than anything to be back home in NY for Christmas this year. unfortunately i will not be able to make the trip from Los Angeles this year. so i am baking lots of cookies to ease the pain. thanks for all the inspiration.
This year I want to enjoy my kids and my hubby and not get lost in the hype. I love the shopping and all of htat but I want to show my kids that the real meaning of Christmas is found in a manger and not the clearance section. I want my share of goodies- lots of caking stuff and the random scarf or two. Christmas blessings to you and yours!!
Bosch mixer. C’mon Santa….dig deep!
I want to pull out of the funk I’m in and something new to wear would be lovely, too!
Sorry I totally forgot to include my wish: I REALLY want a new reliable camera too… sounds familiar?… And health for my 5 little kidos – the sniffles are trying to take away them for quite a while now.
And maybe some delicious chocolate truffles can help too to lighten up a bit more our Xmas celebration. :)
I want our new house to be finished!
I want a new camera– my current one has little memory and the batteries hardly stay in. I don’t just WANT one, I NEED one!
I want some fancy cowboy boots!
I want a new job :)
This year for Christmas I would love to get a new camera!
All I want is to have a nice dinner with my family, me cooking for all of them and enjoying the evening playing games, watching TV and eating lots of food.
OK!!! SO I cannot wait to enjoy christmas with the fam and watch my little pumpkin open gifts!! We already got our “big” gift from our parents….year round passes to Disney!! So nothing else:)…just enjoying watching others open their gifts!
All I want for Christmas is Martha’s cupcake and cookie books! And a remote car starter since it’s not fun scraping your windows at 6am every morning :)
Love your cookies. They look flawless, and delicious!
I want a plane ticket to Portugal!!! I’m Canadian but I work in Portugal and I still haven’t bought my plane ticket back to Portugal after Christmas.
Ooh!!! I want to win! That’s what I want for Christmas!! :D I want to get some cute black slouch boots. That would make me very happy!! :D
I’m looking forward to being in Orlando this Christmas with my family!
I want to spend this Christmas with my 7mo old nephew who lives 3000 miles away.
I want a kitchenaid stand mixer, one of the heavy duty professional ones, but thats most likely not going to happen this year seeing as my husband and I are poor newlywed college students. So my more reasonable wish list consists of cookbooks, cookie cutters, and my textbooks and supplies for next semester!
Mostly what I want for Hanukkah (we don’t do Xmas) is to watch my kiddo open her gifts. It’s so exciting!
I would love to win this, because I love baking, and because I never win anything! And what a cute prize this would be!
a stand mixer :D
I’d love a new digital camera.
I’d like a new job for Christmas…oh, and a digital photo frame.
I want a week off from work to sit around in comfy pj’s and watch chick flicks…. I wonder if santa can fit that under the tree?
I would like PEACE. Family peace. Just 1 week when everyone is happy and we can all set aside our problems and just God were still living.
I want a new alarm clock. It’s not very exciting, but my colleagues at work will be excited when I come in on time!
I want the packet my parents sent from Croatia to arrive before Christmas so I can enjoy all the surprise gooides they sent. I wouldn’t mind a tele-lens either….. but spending time just having fun with the family is the best feeling…
My ‘un-selfish’ me wants to spend some quality time with my husband and twin boys. My ‘selfish’ me wants a trip to a day spa. But the first one is more important…
I want peace in my heart and kindness on my lips. I want to enjoy my island vacation with my husband and make lots of memories. I want to swim all day.
I want to spend time with family playing games and making memories (baking, laughing, etc)
The cookies are adorable!
I would like to park in the garage Christmas morning! It would be so nice to be able to get in the car and not worry about scraping off snow and ice before I leave. Plus, it would get my husband to clean and organize the garage. :)
Happy Holidays!
A plane ticket home to see family and friends!
I love, love, love that cupcake shaped cookie cutter! And the little gingerbread guy… How did you make him?
I want a great, new digital camera for Christmas so I can take great pictures during Christmas!
Thanks for the inspiration!
Janine
For Christmas I just want to spent time with my family back home. Though it wouldn’t hurt if I got to do this with the new pair of boots and scarf I’ve been eyeing…
Those cookies are adorable! I wish I had piping skills. Decorating with royal icing is the next thing I’m hoping to accomplish. As for the holidays, I’m hoping to get a copy of Mark Bittman’s “How to Cook Everything: Vegetarian Cooking”.
Airline tickets to see my grandchildren.
I can’t wait to be with my family and hopefully a Cricut Expressions machine. :)
Those cookies are too cute!
For Christmas I want that book!
I want to go to Hawaii!
unbelievable delicious fat-free french fries.
I want my kids to be happy!
Health and Happiness thats what important.
(oh and cookies too!)
I’d love a pair of crazy printed, rubber rain boots – and it doesn’t even rain where I live… :o)
I want Santa to pay for my school tuition and books for Winter, Spring, and Summer quarters=)
I want a yellow peacoat– which I need like a hole in the head… That or a mint green mixer.
I just want to be with my family.Home is where the heart is as well as the laughs and good times and good food!This is my first year in 28 yrs moving away from my family and hubby is going to be away at work.Ill be spending lots of time baking the time away till i get to go visit them.
I want to hang out with my family especially my bro that I haven’t seen in 2 years. I have switched my brain off of even thinking about presents…I’ll just be happy with getting stuff for my son.
I want safe travel to and from all the family members I will get to see over the holidays and a bit of snow on Christmas day.
That’s an adorable mini-book and sooooo perfect for the Holidays season’s cooking preparations.
PS Hope your camera come back to life soon.
For Christmas this year, I’d love a wonderful day with my husband and daughter (and a gift of makeup or perfume would be bonus!)
I would like to have a stress free Christmas, with a decaf soy latte on the side, whilst watching my little one have a ball with her toys; all while Mahalia Jackson sings in the background. :)
Hi! This christmas I want some free time to bake ( not enough time with a full time job,part time school and 3 month old baby) and a kitchen aid stand mixer!
I would like to win this because my baking needs a little help! Thanks for all your great ideas. This is always the first place I check when I want to make something super cute. You are fabulous!!!
love the cookies! I secretly want a new sewing machine. But, since I won’t get that, I’ll take cash to save for the new machine! :)
I don’t stand a cupcake’s chance at a weight watcher’s meeting to win this, but this is what I want for Christmas:
World Peace!
Wouldn’t that be awesome??
Merry Christmas, everyone!
I really want to find a new apartment and get away from my nasty landlord and his inconsiderate family, finally have a kitchen big enough for a table & chairs and so my son can have a room of his own instead of the living room being his bedroom.
I want a nikon coolpix camera- and to get pregnant!
i am only wishing for the best of luck for my hubby to have a great interview tomorrow and get the job, he was laid-off work in May of this year and this is his first interview!!! good luck love!!! a job would be the best christmas gift ever! them i can quit one of my 4 jobs!!!!!
For Christmas, I want all the family together here for a joyous time! That includes 3 adult daughters, 1 son-in-law, 1 grandson, 1 granddaughter, and of course, my dear husband. I think it’s going to happen.:-)
I want a crockpot recipe book…the 365 days of crock potting.
Love the cooies you made, they are so cute.
a meatgrinder piece for my kittchen aid mixer ! – and a healthy baby in march :P
I want a KTec blender! I had one which I got through Costco road sales that I returned since it costs like $400. i miss that blender!
I would love a digital SLR. The one you borrowed sounds great! :o)
More than any one thing, I like surprises! So I would like to be surprised on Christmas (or Channukah– my family does both) with a thoughtful, unknown-to-me gift. Barring that, however, a pizza stone and peel would make me very, very happy. Also very, very popular with my roommates.
I want to be able to go home to California for Christmas, but that won’t be happening. Nevertheless, that is what I want.
I am wishing for the engagement ring we picked out a few months ago :o) (but I am not holding my breath). Other than that I want my family and friends to have a safe and happy Christmas! Happy Holidays Everybody!!
I’d like a box full of your sugar cookies for Christmas! Or I’ll settle for a white Christmas too.
I would love a new Ipod for Christmas! Mine doesn’t really work anymore. But I’ll just be happy to spend time w/ my family :)
A necklace with my son Nathan’s birthstone.
For my annoying health problems to be sorted out — and some new clothes. :)
Ironically I am getting a Canon Rebel XSI!! It’s already wrapped under the tree. :-)
I want to spend quality time, individually, with both of my children. It seems in our hectic lives that time alone with each child gets put on the back burner.
I wold like a Wii
More time with friends and family is my wish!
Great cookies!
I would love new slippers. Boring, I know. But warm feet in the winter would be heavenly!
I want to enjoy every minute of the holiday season. I also don’t want any of the calories I consume to count…. :)
I want a power wheels toy for my son. The motorcycle one. If I were to get a dream present it would be an H.D. Radio.
Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all men (and women, and children, and all living things)!
Those cookies are super cute! For Christmas I would like a leather chair from IKEA for my living room and any fun baking stuff to add to my already large amount of baking stuff.
I want a quiet Christmas with my family and lots of snow!
I want a boyfriend for Christmas :)
By the way, I blogged about meeting you at PW’s book signing this week:
http://stacijbrown.blogspot.com/2009/12/pioneer-woman-book-signing.html
I would like to move closer to family…especially since my husband and I are expecting our 2nd child and we will be telling them soon!
I really really want a kitchen aid mixer but I will settle for someone else doing the holiday dishes.
I want all four of my boys, two grandsons and their familys under my roof at one time. But if it doesnt work for their schedule – just to get to spend time with all of them.
For Christmas I would be so happy and grateful to have a new green Toyota Sequioa Platiinum to replace my faithful 13 year old car. I wonder if Santa could fit that on his sleigh?? Also, it would be awesome to have the stocking full of goodies you are offering so my daughter and I could try out the new tricks and tips. I am always so inspired by your blog!
I want a less stressful holiday, but since I doubt that will happen I want a Mother’s Ring, celebrating the birth of both of my boys! (and good results from my doctor that my cancer really is gone)
I want a Wii Fit! So I can burn off all the extra calories from visiting this site….and the aftermath it brings! Merry Christmas!
I want a piano for Christmas! It would be so fun to play along with my husband on guitar :)
What I really want this Christmas is lots of snow and a snow blower !ooh and also an acceptance letter to med school … now that would be sweet !
I would like some Time. Just a little. Enough to piece a quilt that is waiting for me. Enough to bake my favourite seasonal recipes. But will my baby nap…?
What I want the most is for my dog to smell less like a dog, He’s kinda stinky but still loveable lol.
I want a Garmin Forerunner so i can keep track of all of the miles I have to run to burn off all of the cupcakes and other goodies I’ve been baking :)
a tender heart
Mama needs a new purse! I would also really like to go away with my hubby for a few days to a cold, snowy place and just sit by the fire, sip hot chocolate, and watch the snow come down. But I don’t think that’s going to happen this year!
We won’t be spending the Holidays with my family, so this will make me feel a little better.
I want to win the cookie craft book! I love to decorate cookies but now feel that I MUST have some new and improved tips (such as the ones that you alluded are in the book)
thanks for all of your inspiration!
I want a set of large alphabet letters to make cute cookies like these cupcakes ones!….
I want to find a way to pay for my daughter’s 2nd semester at college.
Well I actually already got my big present, my hubby bought me a yorkie puppy last week – have wanted one forever so it was a big surprise. Infact she doesn’t have a stocking yet so this would be a win for her too. Only little things left on my list now new cutting board, rolling pin (dropped mine and it broke, I loved that thing). But the best present is a healthy happy family and a holiday spent together.
I want to see my family!
I want a job for Christmas so we don’t have to be on a horribly tight budget!
I want to spend some quality time with my familt . . . not running around sitting in traffic and flittering from house to house . . . . some snuggle on the couch and love one another time.
And for a gift? A wide angle lens! Santa – are you listening?
These cookies are just too cute!
I would really love a stand mixer for Christmas, but I’ve already been told that it’s not going to happen! So I would love some new baking sheets and muffin tins!
I want to spend time with my family enjoying good food and great conversation.
I want to bring our child home from Thailand! We are in the middle of an adoption, and she couldn’t get here soon enough! Angela
I’m with you Ms. Bakerella. Family, fun, food and taking pictures sounds great to me! Oh, and a nice, new, big shiny camera would be icing on the cake. ;)
I wish for a real vacation for myself and my family. Just time to relax without a phone, TV, or internet.
A new camera!
I want a flight to Chicago to have a girls’ night with my mom!
I’ve been rushing around since Thanksgiving trying to get the kids’ school stuff finished so I’m hoping for a nice, relaxing Christmas break with the family and health and happiness for all. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you!
My boyfriend and I gifted ourselves a trip to Vegas for Christmas, so winning big would be a nice present!
so many things to want for Christmas……but I really want a healthy happy 2010 for my family! We take so much for granted and we have so so much! What else could we need…..um, some great stuff from cookie craft (which is on my gift list) and crate and barrel. fun!
If I could ask Santa for one gift it I would love for my husband to find a job that will keep him working through the winter. We are blessed that we make it through with my pay and I am grateful for all we have. But Santa is magical…
It would be such a blessing for my fiance to get a car, so then we could get more of our wedding planning underway and not have to worry about getting around!
…A nintendo Dsi would be great too ;)
Good job on the cupcake cookies. I have yet to try to make iced cookies. Afraid. Like to make it perfect. Fear that I won’t. You inspire me. Cupcake cookies look so cute. Crate & Barrel is one of my favorite stores!
I’m going on a long road trip with my family. Wonderful Christmas gift would be safe trip, that car doesn’t break down, that we all have fun.
Love to cook. Hate to clean. Perhaps wishing for housekeeping service???? =P
Merry Christmas!
I’d like a gel floormat for the kitchen so I can stand to stand for longer periods of time without a backache!
For Christmas I want me & my family to be OK. I want things to get better for all of us. We’ve all had a really bad year where the only thing that has gone right is the fact that my little girl was born happy & healthy. (Which I’m VERY thankful for, don’t get me wrong, I love my little angel) But man does my family ever need a break. My dad lost his job, mom lost 2 of her jobs & lost her apartment. My husband & I lost our place only a month before I gave birth. My mother-in-law has gone off the deep end & cares more about her new boyfriend & money than the fact that her son & grand daughter are homeless. Mother-in-law had her brother haul off our dog so he was MIA for a month after I had the baby. We finally got him back but he ended up having to stay at a friends house & she wasn’t taking care of him properly & he got hit by a semi truck last month, we don’t think he made it, we haven’t been able to find him anywhere. We’re having to try & find a home for our female dog now because the person who was keeping her doesn’t want to anymore. Lastnight my friend who was cat sitting told me I have to come get her because she doesn’t wanna deal either. So not only did one of our pets die but now we’re going to be forced to give up the other two. My stepdad passed away over the summer. And it’s been total hell trying to get my little girl on peachcare & WIC. It just seems like nothing can ever be simple. Now my husband’s looking into going over to Iraq to work for a year because the pay is great & we could pay off all of our debts in a year if he gets the job. I am terrified about him going over there but the money would help us out so much. So this has been a pretty bad year for my family, for Christmas I’d love to win the lottery so I can give everyone money & take all that financial burden away, so that we can just spend time with each other & enjoy watching my little girl grow up.
I want HOPE for a New Year with New Possibilities. The cookies are incredibly adorable.
All I want for Christmas is my husband to be home and have all the family together. I suppose any cake/cookie/cupcake or baking item stuffed in my stocking wouldn’t hurt either ! :)
I want my apartment to magically clean itself!
I want my baby to have a great Christmas. This is the first year he will have a clue as to what is going on. I can’t wait to see him so excited for all the new toys.
I would love to go on a mission trip!
If money were no problem, i would love to wake up christmas morning to a new car with a big, shiny red bow on top. :)
Dream big….
I really want my Kitchenaid Pro mixer that i have been envying for months now!!! I am hoping that if i dont get it, I get enough gift cards to cover :o)
I would love this prize so I can make pretty cookies with my sweet little girl! She has been asking to make some cookies :)
I would like a new job!
I want an all expense paid trip to NYC for Christmas! :)
Such cute cookies!
I want to spend time with family. We’ve been blessed with many miracles this year, so we are so happy and thankful that family members are on their way to recovery. I’m also looking forward to spending our first Christmas together with my husband.
I, too, am looking forward to spending some time with my family and I’ve been wanting a Cricut machine!
Hi! I’m 16, love to bake, and love your blog!
This Christmas I want my dad to be able to not have to work at all. We live overseas because of his job, and he’s always working. I hope that this Christmas we can have just family time.
Thanks for your weekly posts!!
Sasha
I want some new cookie sheets to bake with, a rolling pin, and a good mat to roll dough on….oh and a bigger area to work on in the kitchen. I’m not asking for too much am I? :)
I want to spend time with my brother who is coming over to visit me in England while I’m on a year exchange teaching. I can’t wait to relax with him and enjoy time together. I would love it if all my friends in Berkley, Michigan could come and visit!
I want to find out that my husband will not be leaving for another deployment next year! (he’s a soldier) Sorry, that might sound bad since it is his job but I am selfish and want him home with our kids!!
Spending time with family and friends. I really have been wanting to trade my SUV, but it looks like we’ll be replacing my hubbys truck first. It caught fire Monday night and burned. But no one was hurt and it didn’t catch the house on fire either.
Adorable Cookies!
All I want for Christmas is for my babies to be happy!
I just want a little happiness, this year has been a rough one. Your sugar cookies are sooo cute! They make me smile :)
Time spent with family and friends!
I would love an opportunity to be able to stay home with my kiddos!
All I want for Christmas this year is ………
news that a grandbaby is on the way!
i want to spend time with my family this christmas and watch the joy and excitement of the little ones as they open their presents!
I am a photography enthusiast and I want to take tons of pictures of my kids (one in college and one in high school) and my niece and nephew (both in college) at Disney World! We haven’t been in several years and my sister and I and our husbands are taking them one more time before they are all grown up and don’t want to go with us anymore! I miss their little kid days and bringing them to Disney World makes us all kids again. Spending this special time with my sister and our families… that is going to be all I need for Christmas. But the supplies to make these adorable cookies would be a wonderful surprise! :)
I want a really nice camera like the one you use!! :)
I want a peaceful, relaxing Christmas break with dh and our 5 kids, with no bickering and a clean house. Is that asking too much?
Other than that, would love a serger, but just can’t seem to justify spending that kind of money on myself.
I’d love your lovely filled stocking though. :)
Oh, my goodness!! So gorgeous…..love these cookies!!
The main thing that I want every year for Christmas I have been blessed enough to get every year is a healthy and happy family. I would like to get some new crafty stuff, too, this year! This awesome prize would be a good start! : )
I really want a food processor and some new cook books!
I’d love to have a Christmas where I don’t feel obligated to spend a lot of money and can just enjoy the season with family.
But I certainly wouldn’t say no to a new food processor. ;)
i would like new running shoes to run off all these delicious baked treats i’ll be making i mean eating!!! merry christmas, bakerella!
i want to have an amazing trip with my boyfriend to victoria!
btw, i loved how your cookies turned out – amazing!
I want an extra hour in each day. Is that too much to ask? I’d actually like that *before* Christmas, but I’ll take it after!
I like to have lot of chocolate =)
I want a kitchen aid stand mixer!!!! i need it!!! i have to have it!!!
I would really like to get a nice camera, so I can document more of my life. I have so few pictures of the ones I love, and I want to capture my progress on planning my wedding!
So sorry about your camera – glad you were able to save the pics. I’m with you, I’d love a big new shiny camera for Christmas, but I’ve already gotten my gift, the Hubs and I went on a Mediterranean Cruise last month! So I will look forward to enjoying the spirit of Christmas with the family.
Time with the person I most.
I would like for my 8 month old to stop trying to pull the Christmas tree over on top of himself and to stop slinging presents around by their bow… It is cute though and makes for great excercise.. Hmmmm! Maybe all of that excercise will x out all of the Christmas goodies I want to eat!
