Hi, everyone! I'm giving @LisaF a well-deserved break from Spotlights this weekend! (I hope I can measure up to the great standard she's set in my absence!)
I also hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I was thrilled to be able to find time to do something I love almost as much as cookie decorating - setting a festive table! Even the rain couldn't deter me! The dried hydrangea and bittersweet in the tablescape below were stealthily clipped from my neighbor's yard during an all-day torrential downpour. I looked like a drowned rat by the time I was done, but my table definitely looked sharper with the added botanical accents!
Though I digress . . . back to the matter at hand: this week's hot list!* With themes straddling fall and winter, our Spotlightees seem (dare I say) a bit indecisive! 😉 But, whether sporting autumn leaves and pumpkins or Santas and snowmen, each and every cookie on this Top 10 list is a true delight! I was especially enamored with the bold beauty of @Gingerland's black-and-white rubber-stamped advent calendar, which sits in this week’s cover spot. Congrats to Berni and our other nine honorees pictured below!
