Thanksgiving TABLE Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

In 2018, I did a Thanksgiving Feast cookies set to represent all the things seen in a typical Thanksgiving dinner. I wanted to recreate the same concept this year, with new ideas for some of the cookies.

Oh… to gather around the table with family and friends to enjoy good food together….such a pleasant thought. And best of all, a time to stop and access how blessed we truly are.

God is so good! He is the giver of all that is good in our lives. 🙌🏻

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Give Thanks Decorated Cookie Collection

Giving Thanks……it is appropriate ANY time of the year. In fact, when I made these cookies in July, I was working to keep the “giving thanks” theme in front of me as I anticipated a series of radiation on my bone metastasis of the spine and sacrum. If we don’t look at all there is to be thankful for, we dwell on the negative.

As we enter this special season of harvest and thanksgiving……may we truly take time to be grateful and give thanks.

Autumn GOODNESS Decorated Cookie Collection

I’m dwelling on GOODNESS today…..and decided that autumn is filled with lots of it. :) It’s so vital that we choose to look for all the good in our lives, rather than dwell on the not-so-good.

Autumn brings such delightfulness and fulfills all the senses. I love the season and am truly looking forward to it with this super hot summer that we’ve had. I don’t want to wish my days away…..but the heat sure has me longing for cooler temps and all the GOODNESS of fall!

Harvest Blessings Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

Harvest time produces blessings…..so many things to be thankful for.
It’s a perfect segway into Thanksgiving.

When I reflect on blessings right now, it’s hard, yet easy. I DO have so many blessings…..and I’m working to not allow the negative things to get in the way of being thankful. When you sit still and look over your life, you realize that God allows us to continually reap a harvest of incredible things HE has done.

I’m blessed. I’m thankful. And grateful to express it all here.

🍁🍂🌻🌾🧡

Pumpkin Spice Decorated Cookie Collection

Pumpkin Spice is a favorite among many during the autumn months. I’m a fan…..albeit not as crazy as some. But I love chai tea lattes……so it makes sense that I’d love this spice combination.

The whole spices were made out of edible clay (recipe on this site) after staring at many many photos upon googling them. haha It was challenging….but loads of fun.

Happy Pumpkin Spice season! 🎃🥧🧁🍩🥤☕️🍨🎃
