What Are You Grateful For? COOKIE GIVE-AWAY! Thanksgiving Cookies and Tutorial Cards

What are you grateful for? I took a yoga class at the local community college last year and one of the assignments was to write down 100 things we are grateful for. Easiest project ever. Even when things are awful, there are always ways to find the good in things and be grateful. I find that if I'm struggling, then going to volunteer and be of service makes things better and feels good and reminds us of all we have to be grateful for. So on my Facebook page today only, I am hosting a GIVE AWAY a box of cookies to two winners. All you have to do is go here and comment with something you are grateful for and I will choose two random winners tonight. Only entries on my Facebook page will count.

 Istas the Indian Girl. She is my favorite. I love her braids. I updated the cookie cutter so that the braids don't get stuck and there's plenty of room for her smiling face and the top of her outfit. You can get the cookie cutter HERE

 You can download the tutorial cards in the yellow section at the beginning of this blog post.

 Isn't she so cute? I LOVE her.

To make the skin tone for the Indians, I aimed for a "caramel" color. I mixed Americolor Warm Brown and Americolor Gold for the skin color. All colors shown below.

 Paula the Pilgrim Girl, with a nice simple to decorate face. She is so sweet. Cookie cutter available HERE

For the skin color on the Pilgrims, I mixed Wilton Copper, but wasn't happy with that color, so I added a tiny bit of Americolor Warm Brown and then I added Americolor White to tone it down.
