I know we are a couple months awayfrom Christmas, but I could not stop myself from creating some cute new Christmas characters for my Zazzle Store, JuniperBox!

| Christmas Gingerbread Girl Cookie Design |
One of my favorite
activities during the Christmas season is to bake cookies so naturally the
first thing I created was an adorable, rosy-cheeked gingerbread girl cookie. I gave this gingerbread girl slightly burnt edges
to give it that freshly baked appearance. I continued to give her black,
sparkling eyes, a sweet smile, and pink rosy cheeks. I decorated her in a red Christmas
dress, and matching red bow. Her dress has a green heart with a crosshatch design,
and I used white to give her a fine, lace collar. The hem of her dress has a
pattern of red, green and white stripes. I completed her look by giving her additional
fine icing details on her hands and feet and gave her a red and white striped candy
cane to hold.
I placed this design
on several products, but my top favorite products I created was a Christmas apron
and a Christmas coffee mug (or Christmas hot cocoa mug).
Every year my
daughter and I bake Christmas cookies together for our family and friends. We
have aprons that are designated just for this special holiday season. This gingerbread
girl apron would put anyone in the right mood. I love the vivid red and greens
in her dress, and her cheery, rosy-cheeked disposition. I also love that you
can further customize this apron by adding your own name to it. I know that my
daughter is at the age where she loves having her name on everything.
My daughter also LOVES hot cocoa. She is actually fond of a hotel, not for how nice the accommodations were, but because of the hot chocolate they served! She looked forward to having that hot chocolate every time she visited that hotel and was sad that new owners had taken over that hotel chain and discontinued serving the hot cocoa!
We love cocoa so
much at home that we create our own hot cocoa recipe and always top it off with
marshmallows. As the weather is getting colder, we are drinking more and more hot
cocoa at home. I think this gingerbread girl Christmas mug would make a
wonderful personalized gift for this upcoming season for those who enjoy hot
coffee or hot cocoa. Simply customize it with the recipient’s name, and add a
package of hot cocoa and marshmallows inside to complete the gift.
