"Calendar be damned!" is right. Don't limit the joy to the holidays. I haven't done cut-out cookies in a long time and forgot how much fun they are. I wish you lived closer. I'd be over decorating stars with your 8-y-o in a flash. I like your 8-year-old’s attitude. “Calendar be damned!” is right. Don’t limit the joy to the holidays.

Those cookies look delicious. I'm all for spice cookies! I prefer them to standard sugar cookies. Love your moose and maple leaf. What a lovely gift idea for international friends.

I'm not a cookie cutter person. I do have one bag full of them, but they're mostly from my mother in law and I don't use them very often. The one exception is a fun star-shaped cutter. We actually used it just last week to make star cookies for Hanukkah, even though the holiday doesn't start for another two weeks. Trying telling that to an 8-year-old, though -- he didn't care at all. He just wanted his star-shaped cookies, calendar be damned. Sigh. I’m not a cookie cutter person.

I love the idea of giving these as gifts or giving the over-sized cookies they make. There's something about a handmade gift that is extra special. (Ugh. Did that sound as corny as I think?)

Ann has a really interesting story, too. She's an artist and made some cutters based on her characters and started up a whole new business. Love this kind of stuff. Thanks Dana.

Let me know if you want to do a decorating party. You're in charge of icing. I’ve got a whole tin of cookies just waiting to be iced. Let me know if you want to do a decorating party.

The moose is great, but I love the cup of tea. Now here is a laugh - I can make the icing - learned how when I gave Laura Cookie Decorating Parties. I'm really sorry she thinks she had out grown them. Can't wait until she realizes it is even more fun when 6 adults do it all at once too.

Just last winter I cleaned out my collection, knowing that I had way too many and only ever made the same shapes. Now I want more! Cookies are on the list in the coming weeks. I can't wait to see the girls attack the process. Oh great. Just last winter I cleaned out my collection, knowing that I had way too many and only ever made the same shapes. Now I want more!
