Sadly, I cannot afford $17.95 for each gnome cookie cutter; I thought Dani said the templates were available on her website, but it is still under construction. Does anyone know if the templates are available & where? Thanks.
I Love Darcy's hoop earrings!! Does anyone know where I can purchase them?
You can get the cookie cutter and all the decorating supplies from coppergifts.com
The cookie cutters are available here:

Scroll down to the second cutter listed for the Gnome and Gnomi! So excited to ice these with Martha! Xo
I'm also looking for the gnome cookie cutters! What a cute idea!
Where can I find the gnome cookie cutters? I saw them featured in the newsletter, and they are adorable! Thanks for all your wonderful ideas.
