Absolutely gorgeous! I got your newsletter a few minutes ago, and saw them highlighted
I am sorry to bother with something unrelated, but I could swear that in one of your Cratsy (Bluprint) lessons you featured cookies decorated with wafer paper? I cannot find it, and now I wonder if maybe I saw that some place else????
could you point me to it if available either there or here on your site? I seem to remember them as being round cookies, and the wafer paper had a floral pattern... I hate when I don't bookmark things properly (sigh)
Thank you, Sally! I didn't use wafer paper in my Craftsy class, but I've made wafer paper roses and I've used floral wafer paper to make meringue cookies. Here are the links:

awesome!!!! thanks... and congrats on the new baby girl "in the making"
wonderful!
I have watched your videos and have purchased several of your videos over the past few years.
One BIG question I have is how to you keep the royal icing from crusting for so long as you work on the details. For instance the marble cookie in this email.
Do you have a humidifier in your room or keep the room at a certain temperature?
I know you add one tablespoon of meringue power than most but do you do anything else?
Thank you in advance for all that you do.

Hi Katrina! I'm so glad you've been enjoying my tutorials.
I've found that the extra meringue powder is the biggest factor in keeping the icing from crusting over too quickly. I use 10 TBS per 2 pounds of powdered sugar, which is about double what most recipes use.
I don't have a humidifier in the room, but that would certainly help if you are still having trouble with the icing.
