Easter Cookies

Bunnies, chicks, baby lambs... who am I to resist such cuteness? 

 I was so happy to make some Easter cookies for my dear friends.  They had gifted me with some great new cookie cutters, including a large cupcake shape. It was just what I was in the market for. Salem psychic powers at work!  Turns out the cupcake shape cutter makes a pretty cute Easter basket :)

No Easter set is complete without Easter eggs...

And a Bunny to love them 

Happy Easter! Happy Spring!

Happy days ahead :)

פורים שמח!

Happy Purim!  Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates a time when the Jews of Persia were saved from a plot to exterminate them.  The story is described in the Book of Esther which is read on the holiday.  It is a celebration filled with food, merriment, costumes, and the sending out of gifts.  My Sweet Eddie and I had our own little Purim celebration. We ate lots of cookies, as we do.

Our beautiful Queen to the Persian King, Esther informed him of the plot against the Jews and persuaded him to spare them.
Thanks to Art by Dena for the inspiration

Triangular filled cookies are a traditional part of the celebration.

We made some filled with lemon curd and chocolate.

What is a party without a clown juggling cookies. I think he is cute while Eddie says creepy. :-/

And what do you do when your super hot husband realizes he is a master Challah bread baker? 

You have him make you some every week and you take lots of photos. :)

Bread by Ed is amazing!

Happy Purim!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Is it really Thanksgiving tomorrow? Did we just light our first night of Hanukkah candles? Were we eating latkes while a pumpkin pie was baking in the oven? What is happening?! 

I sure do love this wacky holiday season! 

I made a few sets of Thanksgiving cookies to share with family, friends, and the internet.

And what celebration is complete without Hello Kitty?

These Pilgrim Kittys come bearing delicious dishes for the holiday meal.

I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving full of appreciation, love, comfort, friendship and pie, lots of pie. 

Thanks for looking and thanks for reading. I am thankful for the support of friends and strangers. 

I am eternally thankful for my Sweet Eddie and all the love we share. I am thankful that he lets me take over our home with mountains of cookie decorating accessories, supplies, gadgets, and gizmos.
