So, did you know that newborns take up, like, ALL of your time? I consider the day a win if I brush my teeth AND put on a new shirt! To make things a bit easier while the wee one is still…well…wee, I’ve enlisted a couple wonderfully talented bloggers to share fun recipes with you!
Today, I’m super excited to introduce by bloggy friend, Hani, from Haniela’s. She is the real deal – she makes GORGEOUS, elegant treats (like these lovely Winter Doll Cookies, Poinsettia Meringues, and beautiful Angel Gingerbread Cookies). Plus, she makes video tutorials. I mean, how awesome is that? She’s got some serious skills!
Jennifer is one of the sweetest bloggers I know. But you probably already knew that. Thank you for having me over today Jennifer.
This is the last weekend before Christmas. I’m sure many of you are finishing decking the halls for the most magical time of year. And perhaps some of you are behind(like myself) and are looking for last minute ideas for desserts or a pretty edible gift?

Haniela that’s a great idea, I love watching your tutorial. I don’t think I’ve missed any of your videos since I started watching you.
They’re great, aren’t they?
Thanks Loretta, I’m glad you like them, they were really easy to make. I really like how they looked on the plate. There is more to come in 2014.;-)

Beautiful platter, Hani. I love that you didn’t go completely to the edge of the cookies with the icing. The cookie dough color is a great accent color with the reds and greens. Great guest post! Merry Christmas, Hani and Jennifer!!
Merry Christmas, Mike! I hope it is awesome
Hi Mikey! Thank you. I also like the colors in this platter. Merry Christmas to you too.
