I'm so excited to be setting up a new home office and studio upstairs.  I've been collecting ideas on my Pinterest boards for quite some time, and here are the critical elements I have been considering: color, whimsy, order, inspiration, comfort, and multifunctional.  Please feel free to send me your ideas and suggestions!

Ingredients:

Your favorite cookie recipe -- I used Martha Stewart's gingerbread cookie recipe
Chocolate covered pretzels
Red jelly beans
Chocolate chips

Instructions:

Prepare cookie dough as directed.  Roll into balls, flatten and gently pinch the shape into a rounded triangle.  Bake as directed -- I baked mine about 11 minutes on 350 degrees. 

While still warm, press the antlers, nose and eyes into the cookies.  Let cool on pan until set, about 2 minutes.  Remove to cooling rack and let cool completely.

Thought I might share my favorite household products made from scratch. These all link to my Pinterest board, "Frugality." Note: These are the only pins I have personally tested AND recommend.
