~ Mug Cookie Toppers & Christmas Creations and Simple & Sweet Fridays #198~

I had a lot of fun making cookies this week. I wanted to share with you, my new star cookie.

I got the cookie cutter at World Market. It's a cute addition to a mug with either hot chocolate or coffee. 

I made the noses out of fondant so everything is edible.

We used royal icing for a finishing touch.

I decided to use an edible pen to create faces.

I added edible blue glitter to the corners of the stars and pink to their cheeks.

Here are more pictures of what I have done this week.

Happy Holidays!

~Lighten Up Your Kitchen and Simple & Sweet Fridays #129~

Adding more light in our kitchen and family room,

 was as easy as changing out our curtains.

I have always loved our burgundy and gold pen striped curtains,

but we needed a change.

Before our daughter, Katie, moved to England,

I had her help me find new curtains and hang them.

Boy, did it make a difference with the sunlight.

We found the embroidery curtains at

 Bed, Bath and Beyond.

I fell in love with the small flowers embroidered on them.

The white corbels are a good accent piece 

with the new curtains.

I love the softness in the room now.

Especially,

 with the summer light shining through them.

Now we have more of a view of our garden.

An easy way to change a room,

~NEW CURTAINS~

Carly made Stan and I dessert to celebrate.
