Welcome to the New Year!!

Hello and welcome to the New Year.  Here it is three weeks into 2014 and I have not done one post for the New Year.  I will try to be more prompt with posting but as we all know, things just get in the way sometimes.  I have been so busy with family that I didn't really have time to do a whole lot of posting.  I missed Halloween, Thanksgiving and even Christmas!! Yikes!! It is a little late to post Halloween and Thanksgiving goodies but still not to late to post one or two Christmas goodies....Thanks to Sugarbelle, I was able to recreate her pointsetta platter for my co-workers for the Christmas holiday.  I flavored both the dough and the icing with anise flavoring and the cookies were delicious!!!  Thanks Sugarbelle for such a great tutorial(and an easy peasy one at that)!! The other set of cookies I am posting is from an online cookie exchange that I took part in with the CookiersRus gals...this is a great forum and if you are a cookie decorator, novice or otherwise; it is the place to be.  That is about all for this post. Until next time.....Happy Baking!!!
