some cookies

i slacked on the cookie baking this holiday season, so i'm making up for it now with some springy cookies. i love these cookie cutter from bake it pretty.  i also got the button molds which i have yet to use, but have some valentines cupcake plans for.

i got these pretty little paper cups for lily's birthday (in may) but i'm planning ahead this year:

they are such a deal, $4.25 for 75 liners.  there are so many pretty ones to choose from.  i'm such a sucker for pretty packaging.  

here are the cute gnomes i made from the cookie cutters i got from them as well.  

i also got the beehive, mushroom and a snail, but i got tired last night and didn't do any of the snails.  truth be told, sugar cookies with icing are a little too sweet for me, so i end up giving them away or begging the girls to eat them, (for some reason they don't eat alot of sweets). so i might come knocking on your door friends with some cookies.  on a beautiful day like today, i feel like hanging laundry, walking for miles, and opening up the whole house for some fresh air.  i'm counting down the days to spring.
