HELPFUL HINT FOR YOUR COOKIE DISPLAY....HOPEFULLY...

We're traveling this Christmas ...I'm bringing all the cookies!
Have made over 15 kinds and need something to display them on...
I wish I had a gorgeous multi-tered..........wait a minute....don't I have a closet FULL of dishes?
Your the one with the imagination.....Think of something!!!!
Once the cookies are all displayed ....who will notice NOTHING matches!!!!....Besides ...Your the one who likes to mix-it-up aren't you?....



Just start LARGE on the bottom and keep getting smaller as you layer up!...Works for me!!!


Maybe some festive candies in the very top...




Sometimes.....Just what your looking for.....You already have!...Hope that was a little helpful!
Merry Preperation...xoxo~Kathy.

    Kathy, I love this idea. Sometimes arrangements can look too matchy-matchy....this is inspired. Did you say 15 types of cookies?? I hope you'll show us a photo of what it looks like, fully loaded. Meredith xo.

    Somebody is going to be thrilled to welcome you and all of those delicious cookies into their home. What a clever and pretty idea to display them on. When you bake that many cookies, do you freeze them? Just wondering because I'm always afraid that if I freeze them they won't taste as good.

    Have a safe and happy trip and a Merry Christmas too!

    Clever and creative...can't wait to see it filled with cookies. I have baked just about that many. I layer them in glass containers of different sizes and shapes, tie on big bows and set them on the buffet for Christmas.

    I love this. We usually have what we need, don't we? OK, not always what we WANT, but what we need. Besides, this was so much more fun than buying a new one. I hope you get some photos of it filled!

    Where are you traveling? HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
