December First Fun

Here we are at the first day of December. It seems only yesterday that I was sewing Halloween costumes and watching the first of the Autumn leaves changing colors.

Today, I mixed up some sugar cookie dough which is now chilling in the refrigerator. We are planning a big, sugary decorating session later!

Speaking of cookies, Prudent Baby is hosting a giveaway to win a copy of Cookie Craft, a wonderful book with tips and ideas for decorating cookies!
