Are you just about set for the holidays? You know, I actually think that I am. I keep telling myself that I must be forgetting something because right up until Christmas Eve, I never feel like I am quite ready, but this year is different for some reason. No complaints. I’m good with that! It does indeed look like it will be a green Christmas, but the cold has definitely arrived. Yesterday morning when I got up, it was 7 below 0.
I promised you cookie photos, but believe it or not, I have not had my camera out in almost 2 weeks, so these are just quick snaps from my iPhone. This was the first set of 10 trays that I put together. Throughout this week, I will do about 20 more, and that will be it for this year!
Remember, there will be no Creative Exchange next week, and when The Creative Exchange returns on January 2nd, you can link up with your favorite photograph of 2011, if you’d like.
I wish each of you a holiday filled with all of the happiness and love that your heart can hold.

Oh my goodness - and I think I'm wonderful when I cook a tray of 12 biscuits! They really do look lovely.
Thank you Lisa for this year - unfortunately I only got brave enough to start joining in links such as yours during the latter half of this year, it's been so inspiring viewing others photos - yours particularly seems to gather such quality. Merry Christmas, looking forward to linking up and again in January. Renee

Lisa, you Christmas cookies look wonderfully delicious!!!! And there are so many of them! You are just wonderful to be able to make so many festive cookies. That is a lot of work, dear Lisa.
After looking at your pictures I began to think that I should be less lazy and more giving person.
And if you wouldn't tell us that these photos were taken by your IPhone I would never figured out it. They are great and sharp and beautiful and very impressive.
Lisa, I wish you also a beautiful holiday and I wish you happiness today and every day of the year!

Oh my gosh, Lisa, you are soooo ambitious. I haven't made oodles of cookies in years, but you have inspired me to go make my favorite sugar cookies. I like to make my own refrigerator rolls so I can just pull them out and bake just enough on a moment's notice.
Thanks so much for sharing.
Merry Christmas to you!
Now that's a lot of cookies! I've been very MIA lately b/c Peanut was here for a week! Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things soon. As a confirmed Santa collector, I love your shot of Kris Kringle. Have a wonderfully blessed Christmas. xoxo
All I have left are baking cookies!! Wish I could reach in and just 'borrow' yours! :)Hope your Christmas is peaceful and joyful!
OH Lisa, you must be tired! Love this post! Reminds me of holiday with my mother-in-law. My best memories.
