Special Birthday Girls

Two very special ladies share a birthday on January 30th, my mother and my cousin's daughter.  My mother is an amazing woman who supports me in almost all of my crazy ideas : )  She has been especially wonderful when it comes to supporting me in my cookie endeavors and most recently showed this support by being the first person to order Valentine's Day cookies from me this year.  I decided to send her Valentine's Day cookies out a little early this year (you can find the two batches I sent her pictured in the post below) along with some extra ones for her birthday.  I hope she enjoys them and I wish I could be there on her special day.

My cousin Ashley's daughter Sophie also has a birthday on January 30th.  Ashley ordered some princess cookies for her little princess that I was able to ship off with my mother's box.  I love it when people ask for new cookie types.  It allows me to try something different and specialize an order just for them.  I hope they enjoy eating them as much as I enjoyed making them: )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM AND SOPHIE!!!

Gearing up for Valentine's Day

I'm running a Valentine's Day Special : )

6 cookies without sticks $17.99 with sticks $19.99 (Plus $6 shipping and handling.)

12 cookies without sticks 27.99 with sticks $28.99 (Plus $11 shipping and handling.)

24 cookies with or without sticks 49.99 (Plus $16 shipping and handling.)

If you desire a basket to display them in please contact me for additional pricing options.

(PRICING ON BASKETS ARE NOT SET BECAUSE I DO NOT BUY THEM IN BULK AND INSTEAD BUY THEM AS ORDERS COME IN.  SETTING PRICES OF BASKETS AS ORDERS COME IN ALLOWS ME TO ADJUST THE PRICE ACCORDING TO THE BASKET MY CUSTOMERS ACTUALLY RECEIVE INSTEAD OF SETTING A HIGH PRICE TO COVER THE HIGHER END BASKETS!)

Orders need to be placed by February 4th in order to allow time to fill them and ship them out for the holiday.

One thing leads to Another : )

In preparation for what I hope to be a Valentine's Day rush I posted on Facebook some details on ordering information and deadlines for the holiday.  (If you know me well, it was too much to ask that I have specific examples ready at that time, however, they will be completed before this weekend is out : ) !!!)  I received a couple of inquires and hope they pan out,  but the one order I did receive for this week was not related to Valentine's Day at all.  An old college friend asked me to make a basket for the new addition to her family, her niece.  Congrats Becky on your new niece Nicole Marie and thank you for your order!!

Bella's Birthday

Yet, another birthday to celebrate this weekend!  (My mom jokingly asked if thats all I do is celebrate birthdays since it seems as though I'm on my way to some celebration or another on most weekends when I call!)  My niece Bella is turning 12 tomorrow, however, since tomorrow is a Monday, she celebrated her birthday with her friends this weekend.  Bella has been asking me since she first saw my Hello Kitty cookies to make her some in her favorite colors (lime green and purple) for her birthday party.  I bought some additional birthday themed cutters to go along with Hello Kitty to make the cookies a little more "birthdayish."  I also changed up the way I did Hello Kitty's nose on three of the cookies and have decided that this will be the way I decorate them from now on.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISABELLA!

Zion's Birthday

One of my favorite young men turned 4 today.  Zion's theme for his party was Spiderman - which was awesome because I had recently bought some cookie cutters in hopes of making some Spiderman cookies. (I love  it when things like that work out!)  Pretty happy with the way they turned out and even more happy to see them all disappear in less than 3 minutes flat.
