It's Cookie Season!
Designate time to spend in the kitchen making batches of cookies to freeze. Treats will keep for up to a month packed in plastic containers and cushioned with wax paper.
Cookie Cutters Sans the Clutter
For organization and easy access, sort shapes by celebration (Christmas, Hanukkah, Valentine's Day, Halloween), then hang groupings on belt or scarf rings.
Razzle-Dazzle Them
'Tis the season to go all out when decorating. Be sure to have plenty of brightly colored sprinkles and sugars on hand.
It's a Wrap
Homemade goodies make great (yummy!) gifts. Show off your creations in cellophane bags, tie them with pretty ribbons, add tags, and--voilá--the perfect way to spread joy and good cheer.
