Christmas and some cookies

Okay… finally, the post from last weekend. My camera never did wake up by the way. But I did manage to get all the photos off using a friend’s card reader. Yay! Unfortunately, no built in card readers on my printer or computer… Boo!

And, I would have posted this last night, but I spent the evening at Pioneer Woman’s book signing in Atlanta. Fun! Fun! More on that soon. Thankfully, I did have a working camera with me for that. A brand new Canon Digital Rebel XSi that I borrowed. It’s nice having generous friends. But, I kinda wish I hadn’t started using it. I might not be able to give it back. Bigger screen, More megapixels. And I’ve convinced myself the photo quality is far superior. It is. I know it is. Maybe my camera will be unfixable. Is that a word?

Anyway, here’s the goods or goodies from last weekend.

It’s coming up on Christmas, so I wanted to make some decorated sugar cookies. But I didn’t really want to make traditional Christmas shapes. So instead, I used a cute little cupcake cutter I recently bought. I also went with a less than traditional color scheme and chocolate sugar cookies to help make the colors pop.

Cookies

I love sugar cookies. Too bad I love them more than they love me. I’m still trying to perfect my piping. I will not give up. I will have non-lumpy lines one day.

Cookies

These were two of the better ones.

Cookies

These … not so much. But squint and they’ll look better.

Snowflake Sprinkles

See …… Okay, I’m kidding. I kid. These are the good ones. Well, the better ones anyway.

Mess

It helps to plan ahead when you work with royal icing. Draw out the colors you want for borders and the colors you want to fill with in advance.

Cookies

The cookie recipe is from the book, Cookie Craft. Get a copy if you have any desire to learn how to make these kind of decorated cookies. It’s jam-packed with tips and tricks.

Or maybe you’ll win this.

Cookie Stuff

Yes, the original Cookie Craft came out with a mini Cookie Craft Christmas book.

Christmas Craft

Also with recipes, ideas, and tips. It’s very cute. And small, which you know I like.

Cupcake Cookie Cutters

You’ll also get this cute 2-piece cupcake cookie cutter set. Love it!

Cupcake Stencils

And some cupcake stencils. You can use these on cookies, too.

Cake Tester

A cupcake-shaped cake tester. This totally unnecessary utensil was too cute to pass up.

Mini Cupcake Spatulas

And so were these mini spatulas. I bought all the goodies (except for the cookie book I picked up at the bookstore) from Crate & Barrel if you want to look them up. I like finding cute things. Hope you like them, too.

Stuffed

And it all comes stuffed in a sparkly stocking.

  1. We’re due with our first baby on Christmas Day. That’s definitely what I want this year.

    Next year, I would like to visit our family, who are far away…and smaller pants. :)

  2. Well, after having 2 little boys (2 years and 7 months) we found out 3 months ago we were pregnant again! HUGE shock … but a blessing. Then we found out we were havings TWINS! We were scared to death but beyond excited. We found out yesterday that we lost one of the babies. My heart broke … and now I am beyond worried about our other miracle baby. So, what do I want for Christmas? To carry this precious baby full term with no problems and for him/her to be healthy in every way!

  3. Oh my, I may need to ask for the cupcake cutters. Your cookies are gorgeous! I bought PW’s book for myself. But, I’d love a Cricut Expression too!

  4. I’m going to LOVE when Christmas concert practices are over and I have time to cook and bake. My (kitchen) island is my paradise!

  5. I wish for a healthy mama (she’s been sick for 4 months now) and for a fabulous Christmas filled with family, baked goods, and kiddie cuddles w/ my nieces and nephews!

  6. beautiful cookies!
    here is what i want most for christmas: to have my whole family at home for christmas, doing all the things we always do. :)

    and cupcake decorating supplies!!! :) :)

  7. For Christmas I wish my Grandad could visit us on Christmas day. It’s been years since he’s been able to do that. We’ve been going to him for the past few years. I’m not complaining. I just wish his health was good enough for him to travel again.

  8. I want an AyyaWear jacket! -swoon- It would be nice to have something for pure luxury for once…

  9. a new digital camera!

  10. Merry Christmas! Love this site, can’t wait for your next inventive idea every week. Cute cookies.
    I would love some time and the energy to use it. And being able to help more people. And of course spending more time with my family. It all come down to time for me.

  11. Thank you for the give away. I want the pioneer woman cookbook.

  12. I want that sparkly stocking. Oh, and peace on Earth.

  13. I really want a candy thermometer so I can start making sweet treats.

  14. Love the colors you chose for your Christmas cupcake cookies! So bright and happy!
    My Christmas wish list this year includes (but is not limited to): a happy, laughter-filled day with friends and family, a sci-fi action figure or two under the tree, and a cozy evening curled up watching Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas.”

  15. I’m hoping for a Jessie Steele apron! I”ve been longing for one ever since your blog post oh so long ago!

  16. I’d love some new dining room furniture, but don’t really need anything. Maybe a couple of books. :)

  17. I want a full time job for Christmas.

  18. I would love a white Christmas.

  19. I want to enjoy several days off work and spend it all with my family. No work and all fun…what a gift that would be.

  20. I want this prize for Christmas. But I get the feeling I will be paying a visit to Crate and Barel during lunch tomorrow to get that cookie cutter! It is so cute. But what I really really want for Christmas is to spend time with a handome guy that I recently met. Time to get to know him. Time to kiss him and to cuddle. I just want him :)

  21. I want to stay pregnant. It’s the only thing I want and the only thing that matters this Christmas.

  22. Time with family and friends that I don’t get to see often enough.

    And a new camera lens. That would be just lovely.

    But I’ll be more than satisfied with the first. :)

  23. I want to make sugar cookies with my baby girl (she’s 2) for the first of many times! What could be a better way to spend Christmas day?

  24. Those cookies are SUPER cute! I’ve always been drawn to pretty sugar cookies. Anyway, I could go for a full-body massage. Or back/neck/shoulders. Or any spa treatment really. Heck, I’d settle for a scented candle, bubble bath and a good rub-down from the hubby. No need for those fancy-schmancy places. Although I wouldn’t say no….

  25. I want to win this cute giveaway!

  26. A baby sister!
    But that is 100% not gonna happen, so I’ll take a basket of kittens and cupcakes instead :)

    I’d also like to learn to bake. Especially those cookies. And eat them every day for the rest of life, guilt-free.

  27. This has been a GREAT year, so I want to be thankful for that, I want to be with my family and friends, I want to eat loooots of candy (that´s really important!) and I want for these holidays to last a little longer! Can´t get enough of Christmas!

  28. I would love some warm cable-knit slippers from the Gap, i love slippers. I think I would also really appreciate it if Santa left a Kitchenaid stand mixer under the tree. But slippers are good too.

  29. Very cute cookies!
    I want a new camera too. The white balance is off on mine, and too old to bother repairing!

  30. I just want my baby boy to be born healthy (he’s due Christmas Eve!). That would be the best Christmas present in the world. (Plus, all of a sudden I’m kind of wanting a Canon Digital Rebel XSi!!!!)

  31. I would really like a hug from my husband. He’s away for another 8 months but don’t worry because I’ll get my hug when he’s home on midtour in 3 months. I’ll hold on to his hug until he returns home for good.

  32. I’d love to be able to bake cute cookies with my cousins for Christmas! =)

  33. ok so i’ve been looking for a new camera and now that I’ve seen yours, that is TOTALLY what I want for Christmas this year. Well, that and a pair of TOMS shoes because, when you buy a pair, TOMS will give a pair to a child in need.

  34. I was going to ask my hubby for the Martha Stewart 24 pack of glitter, but then I saw the movie “The Blind Side.” I came home and told him I did not want anything. For Christmas, all I want is for any money he would have spent to go to the truly desperate children of the world. Cheesy, yes. Sincere, yes.

  35. i’ve been getting more and more swayed by the ice cream/bbc style of clothing these days (though i haven’t acted upon it). i was thinking of some dorky oversized spectacles, a fedora, and some nike dunks… because i love that paired with a flannel and skinny jeans (ahahaha! see?! i’m actually never all that into current styles, but it just really appeals to me…).
    oh, and a honey to share in the warm fuzzy holiday season. :P

    did you mention that you were too busy to post last night because of PW? funny… because i can never do my work because i’m either oggling at her site or yours. o.O

  36. I want a healthy ultrasound of this babe on the 23rd.

  37. All I want for Christmas is a shiny new lens to go on my fancy camera so that I can annoy my daughters by taking their picture a blue million times a day!!!

  38. i always look forward to spending time with my family and friends! that is always the perfect christmas to me. of course, i wouldn’t mind getting the couple new cupcake tins that i asked for too! =)

  39. Dang that spatula is cute!!! For Christmas we are traveling to visit my family, first time my husband has been away from his for Christmas. I want him to have such a great time that he will have an easier time being away from his family for Christmas. That’s my biggest Christmas wish.

  40. I want a Cappuccino Machine and anything that I can play with in my kitchen and make yummy goodies with!!! :)

  41. I want peace for our friends in Zimbabwe.

  42. I want to master my LensBaby and capture beautiful portraits of my family for Christmas. I also want to find the perfect gift for everyone. :)

    A sparkling stocking wouldn’t hurt either ;) Pick me! :)

  43. I want to have peace of mind and fun this holiday season. And lots of time and opportunity to bake!

  44. Time with my “babies” – playing with toys, baking, eating yummies, and hoping for snow.

  45. I love your blog!! You are so incredibly talented!! Thank you for sharing your amazing ideas!!

  46. I’m hoping for a KitchenAid stand mixer. I was making a birthday cake for a friend and burnt up my hand mixer. I’m planning on doing all my holiday baking by hand this year. It should be interesting!

  47. I’d like a new coat. It was 5 degrees here this morning! Oh, and a Lowell Ego. :)

  48. Someone to help me get organized! At home and at work – I think I need an expert!

  49. Gorgeous cookies.
    This year for Christmas I want some scrapbooking goodies and anything for my new bub due in Feb

  50. I want a full year of good sleep. I don’t sleep well at night and I could use all the help I can get.

  51. those are super cute! my christmas wish? to spend the holidays with my boyfriend.

  52. I would love to get Martha Stewart’s Cupcake book along with decorating accessories.

  53. What do I want…hmm, I’d love a new zoom lens for my Nikon, and a digital picture frame. Some comfy sweatshirts, and some dishes. I’d like to be able to buy my husband anything he wants, and give my kids everything they need. I would like a job (lost it this summer due to downsizing) and to not worry about the next paycheque. I’ve been good, put in a good word with the big guy for me, will ya?!

  54. I want to spend the day with my kids – going bowling and to the movies – our tradition for the last 10 years! I would really like a really nice camera – to take amazing pictures of my family enjoying our day together!

  55. I would LOVe to win this contest!!!

  56. I want a plane ticket to drop out of the sky so I can spend time with my mom overseas.

  57. I want to be able to spend Christmas with my whole family and have a fun time.

  58. Very cute cookies! This Christmas I would like to enjoy a little bit of snow, time with friends and family as well as a kopyrite image projector for cake decorating! Happy Holidays!

  59. I would like some new clothes this year! Oh yes, and this adorable little gift pack! :)

  60. I’m seeking to perfect my great-grandmother’s sugar cookie recipe. She passed on before sharing her secrets with the family, and every year I get a step closer to figuring out her secret to making them so amazing.

  61. It would be really nice if we could have a peaceful Christmas, and if my clothes don’t get any tighter as a result of what is ingested ;)

    Those cookies look fantastic! You’re such an artist!

  62. I want some new Jewelry. Nothing $$$, just some fun everyday stuff.

  63. I would love to return to beautiful Ireland, but this time, with my wonderful parents.

  64. I would like your new camera!!!

  65. I would like to be able to bake something yummy for my friends and family.

  66. I want to spend time with my family, enjoying their faces and delight over the joys of Christmas. It’s my wish every year and the gift I love the most.

  67. I want to hear a heartbeat! My husband and I are going to the OBGYN one week before Christmas to check on this baby and I really want to calm my nerves! Its our first one! YAY!

    Oh, and plus the lovely items from CookieCraft!

  68. I’m a couple years late to the party on this one, but I’d really like Santa to bring me a Wii this year. :) But really I’d be happy with a few days off work to spend with family and friends.

  69. oooh I want to go on a holiday with my darling husband! It has been WAAAAY too long!

  70. I want to return to wooing and being wooed by my husband. I’ve been working toward my Master’s Degree for nearly 4 years, the last two full time, and our romantic life has suffered. I graduate in May, and my last semester is much lighter, so it is time to look up from my books and into his eyes a lot more.

  71. I want my husband to get the keen job he’s going after, the one that will allow us to get out of the red and him to do what he wants to do. I don’t even mind that we’ll have to move, or spend a month or two not seeing each other much during the transition. Totally worth it.

    However, jobs don’t take up much room in Santa’s sack, so if he wanted to, I’d love a spinning wheel of my very own.

  72. I absolutely LOVE your cupcake cookies!! I’ve really been wanting to make some fancy cookies for Christmas for all my friends and family. I just got into the whole cake decorating thing this April and have been hungry to learn more and more. For Christmas, I would really like to have my own kitchen so I won’t have to share it with my mom! I know that won’t happen, so the next best thing would be to have my uncle build me a nice big work table for my sewing room. :)

  73. I would love a surprise gift from my husband. We always do something for the house or the same thing for each other, I’d love a fun little surprise.

  74. I want world peace, healthy kids and those cute cookie cutters :o)

  75. I want my children to stop growing up!

  76. I just received the original Cookie Craft book in the mail from Amazon. I bought it because I remembered you suggesting it last year when you made those cute flower cookies. I love to make cookies at Christmas and have always dreamed of making “iced” sugar cookies so I splurged. What I want for Christmas . . . a better job with health insurance, to wake up skinny, and maybe a pet hedgehog! Merry Christmas Bakerella!

  77. i want an ipod touch! very, very badly. :)

  78. For Christmas, I would like to finally win one of these giveaways I’m always entering! Oh, and a KitchenAid 90th Anniversary Limited Edition mixer would be oh so nice. If not, then…to magically lose 30 pounds overnight! :D

  79. I want to have a wonderful Christmas day then spend the next few days successfully moving to a new town. New adventures ahead!

  80. I want to win a trip to the Super Bowl, so bad.

  81. I am just happy to finally go to Virginia for Christmas to spend it with my in-laws. My husband has been wanting to do it, and I know we’ll have fun with his parents, brothers, and sisters! Oh, and also I’d like a Garmin GPS watch to wear as I run! :)

  82. What would I like for Christmas? Just one holiday where all the wacky relatives got along and enjoyed just one moment of holiday bliss. Possibly too much to fit into Santa’s sleigh, but really something worth asking for.

  83. I want to win the cookie set!!! I love love love sugar cookies. I would really like a new kitchen aid mixer, too. Mine is getting up there in years . It ain’t what it used to be………..ain’t what it used to be….

  84. Yum, yum! Your cookies are adorable. Seriously–so pretty I don’t think I could eat one!

    For Christmas I want…a gorgeous pair of diamond earrings. Simple. Sweet. Perfect.

    Thanks for the chance!

  85. I actually want a new camera! My friend has the Canon XSi and I was thinking that or the T1i.

    Oh and these cupcake cookie cutters would go perfectly with my Giant Cupcake Pan. I have two little girls and they love cupcakes!

  86. I want money for bills for Christmas…and diamond earrings…:)

  87. I want Bakerellas talent for Christmas! And her camera!! Haha! I love you and all your ideas, you’re the greatest!

  88. I got my Christmas wish. My daughter is home!!!

  89. I want 3 weeks off from work. :)

  90. I want sleep, lots and lots of sleep!

  91. My garage is a little mess… I would love to have it organized before I give birth in the next 7-8 weeks and things get really crazy around here…. you know racks, bins… organizational stuff (if that’s a word).

  92. This christmas i want to have a great happy family time! and lots and lots of good food! yumm!

  93. I want something from Tiffany. Or, you know, to spend time with my kids. Both would be ideal!

  94. I would love for my husband to find his dream job!! He works so hard and deserves it so much!

  95. I want my daughter to finally be potty trained! If there is any way to package that and put it under the Christmas tree that’s all I’ll ask for this year!

  96. TOO CUTE!!

    I want new skates and wheels for derby. I REALLY want custom boots and special plates, but just an upgrade of the ones I have now would be great.

  97. A massage!!!!

  98. I would love for my husband to be able to relax and actually enjoy our vacation without worry or stress from what he’s left behind at work (or what he’ll come back to).

    Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

    Cheers,
    Amber

    p.s. those are the sweetest cookies, love everything you do Bakerella!

  99. This is my first Christmas with my 6 month old baby girl, Nora. I want her and my husband and I to have the best Christmas with each other and our family.

  100. I simply want a nice long break from work so that I can spend some quality time with my family and do alot of baking!!

  101. oh goodness! I love your giveaways! *fingers crossed*

    This holiday I would love a chance to visit my old friends at home…and a pair of new boots!

  102. All I want for Christmas is for my family to go back to normal….whatever that was. If I can’t have that, I’d settle for a Kitchenaid mixer. :)

    BTW, If I could pipe like you I’d send cookies to everyone and brag about my skills! :)

  103. I would love a king bed and the skills of bakerella. Baking is now my new hobby!

  104. For Christmas I would like a new cake stand because mine broke in a move and I miss it. Badly.

  105. I would love to have some All-Clad pots and pans! Totally unreasonable, but its Christmas so who knows!?!

  106. Bah! YOU ARE AMAZING! LOVE THOSE!!! You are such my inspiration. Ok, for Christmas i want a Mac. I should say I really NEED that for Christmas… and also want a healthy fam relaxing and spending time together. Happy Holidays Bakerella!

  107. This stocking would be the perfect thing to keep me busy this December, since I’ve been laid off from work for 3 weeks. Bummer, but whaddya gonna do? On the bright side I have lots of time for baking and decorating :)

  108. I want my husband’s injured leg to heal enough that he can drive! I’m growing weary of being everyone’s taxi driver! If I can’t get that, then I’ll take a subscription to People magazine!

  109. I so desperately want a deep freezer. And a new super-cool camera. Yeah, I set my sights high…

  110. I want a smaller digital camera so I can actually carry it around in my purse

  111. All I want for Christmas is to be with family.

  112. I would love a brand new camera as well, and of course take a lot o pictures o my family! I love Christmas!

  113. I’m actually using my (early) gift…my macbook, since my previous one was a casualty of our 2 year old’s very existence. I have missed it ALOT! (note to self: keep new computer away from any kids who go by the nicknames: mischief boy, little tough-y and/or pigpen) :o)

  114. OMG! I’m in love with these cupcakes! I was sitting here saying “omg!” “too cool!” “oh wow I need to learn how to do that” lol you get the point!

    Anyway hmmm what do I want for Christmas? I would love to go home and be with family for Christmas instead of being in my funk that i’ve been in for the past 10 months! I’m missing my little girl so much I could scream but instead she is spending this Christmas with God. Yikes totally didn’t mean to cry here. But I would really like to see family, and I talked myself out of doing just that! I would also like a new computer because ummm well between googling new baking sites my husband never gets a chance to get on the computer lol.

  115. Happy, healthy family!

  116. those are about the cutest cookies i’ve ever seen! they looked perfect, i don’t know what you’re talking about! I made some cute thanksgiving ones last month and it really is hard to pipe the icing exactly where it’s supposed to be.

    for christmas i’m asking for lots of baking supplies, especially a food processor to make pie crust easier.

    i love your blog! i just recently discovered it, so i can’t wait to start making some of those awesome pops!!

  117. Besides the power of super speed (I would like to be a super hero named Speed Woman, or maybe Zip Girl or something more entertaining if I could have a creative moment), I want a book shelf to store all my kids toys and books that are currently stuffed in clear plastic bins and stacked on the floor the polar opposite of zen! I have already picked it out…I know I have been a good girl, hopefully Santa was paying attention.

  118. For Christmas I would like the time and inspiration to bake some gorgeous cookies!
    :)

  119. I love that gift pack! SO so so cute!

    I know that my sister in law and I would have a BLAST making cookies from the book and that cupcake cookie cutter is so adorable.

    When I read “Chocolate Sugar Cookie” I was a little freaked out. I have never heard of chocolate sugar cookies. Now, I want to try one!

    ~Meredith

  120. A new glass cake stand! I haven’t replaced mine since it crashed to the floor a couple years ago.

  121. For Christmas I’d love to find out that my husband and I are having a baby. That would be a wish come true indeed!

  122. The Pioneer Woman Cooks is at the top of my list. Between all the fun baking here and all of her tasty recipes I think I will keep pretty busy next year!

  123. Thanks for doing this! I would like my dad to get a job and for my boyfriend to propose. :)

  124. I’m hoping for a cute cake stand to display all of my baked goodies.

  125. I want to spend lots of time with my family and friends. I know I won’t get lots of time (my husband is working) but some time is better than none right?

  126. I want peace on Earth, good will towards all men (and women!) and a Nikon 50mm AFS lens!

  127. Hmm- most of the things I would wish for are too expensive. A fancy camera would be awesome, but not feasible. I would like some cooking gadgets though! And I got my main wish already- to be able to take our dog with us to visit family several states away!

    Are those chocolate sugar cookies? I’ve never seen that before- I MUST have some!

  128. I really want a second child. :)

  136. I want lots of time with my family, lots of good comfort food, and lots of time to read, sew and play with our 7 month old granddaughter while I’m off work for 2 weeks at Christmas. I could use this to make cookies while I’m off too!

  137. I want my grandma to make it through surgery :(

  138. I am hoping for the Pioneer Woman’s cookbook…I can buy it, but hoping that my family listens tome would be a present in itself!

  139. All I want for Christmas is for everyone to see the sincere meaning of Christmas and find true love:)

  140. I really want housekeeping! And that magical burst of energy that women are supposed to get in their 2nd trimester. So far, it has eluded me!

    I like your cookie, bumpy piping and all!

  141. A new bike rack for my car!

  142. I’m wishing for snow! and I think I’m the only person in Seattle that feels this way :)

  143. I would love to have a weekend away with my hubby!

  144. I would love to have an iPhone! Is that bad? After 8 years of my husband being in medical and residency, we are finally upgrading ourselves technologically. A new iPhone would the cherry on top!

  145. I want to learn how to sew!

  146. I want to win this for my daughter who is 4 going on 5. My daughter wants a Holly Hobbie doll with the Hey Girls.

  147. I want to enjoy some fun times with my nieces, eat some yummy food and hopefully have a white Christmas! I really hope I win. Thanks!!

  148. (Almost) all I want for Christmas is a dSLR camera!!

  149. I want a Christmas miracle – for all of our debt to be paid off so that my hubby could be home more and we could have less daily stress.

  150. A new TV to go with the awesome PS3 we bought on Black Friday!! :)

  151. LOVE IT! Crosses fingers! Oh I hope I win this. I can just see me making a bunch for my son’s Kindergarten class in the school colors!

  152. I would love have one of those cute aprons…like flirty aprons with cupcakes on them!!

  153. Definitely, just being with family is enough!

  154. I’d love to have mine AND my husband’s tuition taken care off so we can focus on saving for our girls! That would be a VERY merry Christmas :)

  155. I want Santa to organize all of my pictures from the last 5 years, print all of the good digital ones and put them into an album for me – and I want him to label and date all of them too!

  156. I would like a necklace from Lisa Leanard Designs with mine and my hubby’s intitals on it. Oh wait! I already bought it for myself and yes, I’m wrapping it and putting it under the tree!!! LOL!

  157. I want a puppy for Christmas … just a little one.

  158. I would like more time…I don’t know where the year went or how it became December all of a sudden. I still have a long list of things I would like to accomplish before the year is out.

    Thank you for this giveaway. Such a sweet collection.

  164. My husband is in the Air Force so we are getting moved across the country a week before Christmas. We’ll be looking for a house once we get there and this will be the first time I’ve lived in an actual house (not apartment) in 12 years, since I left my parents’ house!
    So… I want a house for Christmas.

  165. I want my son’s father to quit putting himself first all the time. Btw we made your cupcake pops which he just loved :)

  171. I want a good book to curl up with! Anything but my textbooks!!

  172. All I want for Christmas is some snow boots… it’s a little silly to live in Denver and not own a decent pair of snow boots.

  173. I want more baking supplies for Christmas! I’m asking for an apron, some piping tips and some pans.

    But I would kill for a shiny Digital SLR camera, preferably the Canon Rebel :)

  177. a sewing machine, I used to use my mom’s until we moved a few years ago and I always think of the stuff I could attempt to make

  178. Sadly, I’ve been saying all I want for Christmas is a new sewer line. I didn’t actually think I’d get it. Turns out I am.

    Now I would like to add to that. I would like a new sewer line, and also a new leather handbag.

  179. I just want to take a nice, long break. :D

  180. for christmas i would like my college degree!!! or snow… it’s a toss up!!

  181. I want a new digital camera, as well! I have a niece due in February and feel it’s my duty to document every second!

  182. I kind of feel like I already got my gift. I was able to convince my husband to donate some money to a local charity! Feels so good to give!

  183. I want a filter and external flash for my camera. And to win this, lol! Other than that I am in heaven already after getting to talk to Ree on the phone tonight thanks to an amazing friend who was at the Nashville signing

  184. i don’t really want anything… i’m more excited to give gifts to my family and friends and see them after 4 months of being in another country!

  185. I REALLY just want someone to hand over $40,000 so I can have no more student loan debt. Is that too much to ask for haha?

  186. This Christmas all I want is to enjoy every moment of Christmas morning with my family. I love that our two little ones has brought the magic back.

  187. I want nothing more than to have my Grandparents here for Christmas!

  188. I just want to feel non-guilty from having a Christmas list that contains actual things. There will be none of that (again) this year, but maybe next year things will be different.

  189. I want to spend time with everyone I love. I really enjoy buying gifts for people and had a hard time coming up with a wish list for myself this year. I’d really love a new camera (I have a little digital point and shoot right now that my children have practically destroyed…I’m considering bringing out my old film rebel just to take decent pictures again!).

    So enjoyed meeting you at PW’s signing last night!! I’ll keep looking for you in Cake Art!!
