WOYWW 59: Decorating Delights


ATC by The Paper Princess at Create With Joy
Happy What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday, dear friends! Excitement is in the air at The Paper Palace as Valentine's Day - a holiday ranking right up there with Christmas and Thanksgiving in my world - is just around the corner. Prince Charming and I am celebrating 13 years of marriage this week. Even Legend is impressed!

Such Pretty Colors To Play With!
I thought it would be fun to try my hand at creating Valentine Cookie Pops, which are essentially Valentine-themed cookies on a stick, then arrange them into a creative bouquet for gift giving (if, indeed, they last that long!) Since I'm new to the world of cookie decorating and lack the tools to do it properly, Prince Charming - never one to stand in the way of progress - rushed to the store and surprised me with a bag full of baking delights! My mind is racing with possibilities as I admire the pretty tubes set before me. Although it may be a few days before I have a chance to make them - I'm looking forward to the chance to play!

These Cushioned Cookie Cutters Are The Best!
In the meantime, if you're in the mood for some Valentine cards, go to:

    I have seen those cushioned cookie cutters but have never bought any. Of course, I would just use them to cut polymer clay, so it's best I don't buy any (grin). So where are the cookies? You are such a tease!

    Hi Legend,
    It's us again The 3 Katz. Well actually it's just me Wrapper and older sis Bagpuss cos Wimpey is having a mighty sulk up the side of the washing machine. He had to go visit the vets for his MOT/Jabs yesterday and the grownups had to hoodwink him into thinking he was just getting an exrta dinner treat and a cuddle in the garden. Mum has put our portraits on her side bar for you to go and see. She used some of our fur from when she grooms us.
    Paws.
