Sorry sea star, I'm afraid you're not long for this world with big bad sharks all over the place.

Are these adorable pets from something? A TV show? a movie? A series of books? Wherever they are from, they are pretty much the cutest lil fuzzy wuzzies EVER!

You don't have to tell me twice.

This brings the whole taking-a-picture-of-everything-you-eat thing full circle.

I'm sure the evil queen is NOT happy about her collar being broken, and in front of Snow White!

Which is your favorite Santa? Personally I like the guy on the top right, he's got a sweet, sleepy face like maybe he had one too many eggnogs.

There's practically a whole garden in that bird's plumage! Just looking at these cookies is like taking a fancy, exotic vacation.

Imagine waking up on Sunday morning after a super fun night out on the town for your friend's birthday. You're exhausted, you're sore, your voice is hoarse from proclamations of merriment, your hair smells funny and you still have one sock on. Now imagine that this donut appears on your nightstand. Feeling a bit better now? I thought so.

I'm loving all the different takes on popcorn as inspiration for desserts I've been seeing lately. These bite sized cookie morsels are so decadently snackable!

I've never been a huge fan of syrup so this photo speaks directly to my soul. I'm not sure if that's icing, cake batter, melted ice cream or what, but whatever it is, I want it in my mouth now.

I get a little tired of the traditional red and green all over everything this time of year. This is so much more pleasing to the eye. Plus, who wants to eat a blood red cookie?

It's nice to see Hello Kitty and Cathy and their golden-tanned Pacific Islander cousins getting together for the holidays.

Goomba, get out of my way, I need to get that question mark! I was always terrible at this game.

When I was a kid we had a couple Japanese exchange students stay with our family and they would often bring kokeshi as a gift. I still have those lovely dolls and wouldn't turn down a cookie version either!

The best part of these treats is that the inside is also a rainbow of fruit filling. Magic!

Did you spend a moment yesterday giving thanks? What are you thankful for? I am thankful for having family nearby and an amazing network of friends who I also consider family. I am especially thankful to you, my dear readers, for being so patient with our new arrangement and embracing all that cute has to offer. You guys are top notch!

Time for a turkey sandwich!
