tree

Hey owl! It's okay, you can come sit with us! Here, borrow my scarf, you look cold. Do you want some of my hot chocolate? So when do we get to dig into this awesome cake anyway?

It's time. I know, it's crazy how fast this all happened. We have to start talking about Christmas now. These 3D cookies are going to the top of my list!

The delicate bit of blush on the cherry blossoms here is really what's getting me all swoony. So dreamy.

Salty, sweet and perfectly snack sized. I want a tree like this growing in my yard.

What an awesome timeline of romance! The birdies meet in the Fall at the bottom there, fall in love during the Winter months, and have a sweet little family by Spring! Huzzah for life and love and sugar!

This cake makes me think of the book "Afternoon of the Elves" by Janet Talyor Lisle which I read when I was only 11. It's reminiscent of a girl in boots that are too big who spends all her time building houses for elves out of leaves in her back yard. But now she's all grown up and getting married to an equally elvin man and they are having a simple barefoot wedding in the woods.

So the kid who finds the fish head on the tree Christmas morning gets extra tripe for dinner?

That looks about like the weather here right now. Maybe I'll go fly a kite like this dragon.

I imagine it would take a tremendous effort to restrain myself enough to get chips onto these little trees without eating them all first. Let's just say that's possible and move on. Any party with chip trees is probably the best party ever. Please invite me.

Kleenex boxes are not so cute, just be careful to not blow your nose on Eeyore.

The best thing about these cookies to me is the fact that they didn't turn over all the M&Ms to make them plain red. I see this as a sign of smart priorities. Just jam the chocolates on there as fast as you can because the sooner they're done, the sooner we can eat them!

Do you think your flowers and cuttings will last longer in a vase that seems to be soothing them with a song?

There are few things more evocative of Christmas spirit than the little sad tree from the Carlie Brown Christmas Special. Putting it on a star is giving it the respect it deserves.
