Thanks so very much, Sandy! Happy 2023 to you too. I'm about to break open some champagne if I don't fall asleep before midnight first. LOL!

Cheers, Julia!
You could always watch CNN and watch the last hour of Andy Cohan and Anderson Cooper at Time Square. I watch these two every year because Andy always makes Anderson (who doesn’t drink), drink shots of Tequila and he gets totally bombed. He is hilarious. He get sooo giggly. I hope we can all be as happy as Anderson for the entire upcoming year. ~ Sorry, I know we’re not suppose to talk about anything other than cookies but I couldn’t help it. ha ha ha. Best wishes.

I usually watch them each year too and am actually watching them now 😃, but CNN banned their alcohol consumption this year, and, sadly, they’re not nearly as funny. Anderson is still giggling incessantly though, which is cute but a bit annoying at the same time. LOL.

Happy New Year to you too my friend.  Many thanks for keeping us connected and making life sweeter for all of us.

Happy New Year all!  It’s going to be a great year for cookies!

Love the cleanless, the colors and the pattern!! Great dear Julia!! ❤️

A Happy and peaceful New Year!!

I hope so - it seems as if year keeps getting better and better for cookies!

I love this set Julia!! The designs are wonderfully festive and so intricate. Shows your "more is more" mentality which I also love . Thank YOU for your consistent support throughout the years!! You have been a huge influence in my cookie decorating life. You are a true artist and a patient, encouraging teacher. Sending well wishes for 2023. Can you even believe it?!

Warm wishes to everyone for 2023. May this year truly be a year filled with blessings, love, joy, good health and success in your endeavors. And may we stretch to learn NEW things and grow as cookiers. Gain more self confidence in our work and less self criticism (one of my biggest challenges!!!).

Love and hugs to all ❤️❤️❤️
