November Birthdays

I had two birthday orders over the Thanksgiving weekend.  One order was for a friend of a friend who wanted purple butterflies.  I threw in some pink ones too to add a bit of dimension.  I have had the containers I used for this project for months and was finally able to use them with an appropriately themed bouquet.  This weekend was also Nick's 16th birthday.  I told him he could have whatever he wanted... a cake, cheesecake, cupcakes..........  He said all he wanted were some cookies!  So I made him some sports cars with the number 16 on them : )  I got stuck at the mall and didn't have as much time to put as much detail into them as I would have liked, but for a first attempt they turned out OK.

Sunday Afternoon Cookie Extravaganza : )

Today was a busy, busy day!!!  My mom was in town for the weekend and asked me to make her cookies to take home with her.  I couldn't decide what exactly I wanted to make her - so I made her a variety.  I think the winter hat and gloves are my fav : )

Dr's Orders

This week was another busy one. I had two cookie orders and attempted to get the house spic and span for my mother and sister's visit.  My first order was the mascot for "Monster High." (Shown below)  A girl I went to high school with asked me to make 20 and mail them to Wisconsin for her daughter's birthday - until she asked me for them I had never heard of the dolls.  The mascot reminds me of a gothic version of Hello Kitty, which is perhaps why I ended up making more Hello Kitty's this week.

One of the Doctors at my office saw the cookies I was going to mail off, which lead to me showing him my blog and his order of cookies for his granddaughter's birthday.  I hope he enjoys the Hello Kitty Cookies and I hope the Monster High cookies make it safely to Wisco.

Sunday Sunday Sunday

Finished up two projects today.  One for a baby shower and the other for a birthday party.  Happy with the results for both occasions : )  However it might be a couple of days before I willingly pick up a cookie cutter ; )

Beautiful Fall Morning - Weekend of Projects : )

Woke up early this morning to take advantage of this beautiful fall day.  I have two cookie orders this weekend to finish up - one for a co-worker's baby shower gift and another for a 10-year-olds birthday party.  Spent part of the morning outside finalizing and sealing the display below that will be used for the 10-year-olds cookies.  The letters were pre-made of course, but I did drill the holes and paint and seal them myself.  (I'm power tool illiterate - so I'm happy with the results.)   More pictures to follow : )

Anniversary Gift

Shortly after posting pictures of the BSU cookies I made for my grandmother, my cousin Layna's boyfriend (Ken) contacted me to make BSU cookies and Arkansas Razorback cookies for their 4 year anniversary.  Below are pictures of my attempts at each mascot.  I'm much happier with the coloring of the BSU cookies this time :)
