Every year I say to myself that I'm going to take the time to make and decorate cookies for Halloween. I do it for Christmas but time always seems to get away from me on Halloween. What got me motivated to actually follow through this year is my niece. She's been deployed and will be away for the next 6 months. Yes, even through Christmas. So I planned on doing several things for her to keep her spirits up during this time. I send at least 4 letters a month to start. For me, that is a feat in it's self. I also found out she loves antique dollies so I went to some local shops and found a few small enough to stuff in an envelope with a letter. I also planned on sending her a small Christmas tree with lights and ornaments. You just can't go through Christmas without a tree! Anyway I also wanted to be sure to send care packages and one of the care (or two or three) I told her I'd send her cookies. So thus the reason I actually got in gear this year.
I found this video on how to make the cutest pumpkin cookies ever! I often watch Sweetambs videos, she is so over the top talented! She posted this video and information for Halloween for free. She does sell videos on several technique at a low price so you should go check her out if you want to learn how to decorate cookies. Here is the link to the pumpkin cookies I made :

Here are the cookies I made after watching the video, I also made some ghosts and bats just for more fun, now mind you cookie decorating isn't in my real house but I did enjoy it anyway and I don't think they look too bad. So if I can do it so can you!
Bloglovin seems to have me missing several of your posts. You should have saved some of these yummy cookies for the retreat. OH WAIT you did and they were yummy!
