Time to assemble my cookie tin gifts:
First, start shopping for cookie tins in October. I dragged Brad to three Michael's stores over Thanksgiving. I love the ones where you can see through the lids!
I've been collecting holiday cupcake papers all year. I think I have enough to last me a couple of years!
Then bring in all the cookies I made (somewhere around 94 dozen, not counting the candy, caramels and toffee...) from the garage fridge and freezer.
Assemble layer 1: Assembly line work is fun!
Assemble layer 2:
Ready to deliver to friends!
Spicy nuts and toffee are packaged in holiday bags:
Finally, a quick way to wrap a gift. I save my Trader Joe's coffee cans ( I go though MANY), wash them, and wrap them with holiday scrapbook paper. A simple decoration, and it is a perfect, quick wrap for small items.

WOW!!! It is like an assembly line or factory all run by you! (with a little bit of help from Brad). Simply amazing. Looks like you had a grand time.
