I have these crazy Martha Stewart ideas at times, I see something and I think, "Oh, wouldn't that be the cutest idea, all made, decorated, beautifully wrapped and lined up in neat rows to hand out...", the idea I am thinking of, are Thanksgiving goody bags, or boxes in this case.Whether we had Thanksgiving at our house or someone else's, everyone always left with a bag of goodies, especially (my mom being an original New Yorker before she moved below the Mason Dixon) if cookies had been sent down from New York, you can't beat a good bakery! Divine cookies with sprinkles or nuts or a little cherry stuck in them; shaped like leaves and hearts and circles, they were a box of pure happiness!
I was looking for something this morning and went to the Bake it Pretty website and saw th
eir turkey cupcake picks and that started off my whole wave of crazy thinking. I thought wouldn't it be cute, if you made little pumpkin bread cupcakes, iced with mountains of cream cheese frosting (in these retro Sound of Music looking liners), stuck in a little turkey pick, whipped up some acorn shaped sugar cookies while you were at it and had everything all beautifully packaged in a box with some bakers twine or raffia tied through the handle, with something cute stamped on the box.
These are my Martha Stewart moments, the ideas that I would be insane enough to do, but will not. I just love the idea of it!(Images from the Bake it Pretty website)
P.S. I heard my 1st Christmas song of the season on the radio this morning, I did a Charlie Brown Peanut's dance of happiness!
