Welcome Home!

My best friend asked if I'd make cookies for their new next door neighbors.  She originally asked if I'd make them New Year's cookies however we had a little pipe leakage at our house which deterred me from making cookies for little bit.

That disaster at home gave me some extra time to think of something different to do for new home and neighborhood cookies.

Plus this gave me the perfect excuse to use the new cookie cutters I got from my parents for Christmas.  They're awesome. 

I decided to try something different.  Painting on cookies. I first flooded everything white and waited for them to dry overnight.

Then I used different airbrush colors, watered them down a bit and started painting, overlapping colors as I went.

I love how they turned out.  Such a rainbow of colors and so happy.  Cookies can be happy right?

Here they are.  I was also trying out different backgrounds to see what looked best.  I think my favorite is the last one.  The cookies seem to pop more.

Either way, the new home owners loved them, or so I was told.  Now I can't wait to paint more. Seriously, how have I missed all the fun on this?

Cookie Dump #567

Yep, it's cookie dump time.

I don't have a ton of photos of these cookies - that's why they're going into the cookie dump category. Not enough to make up their own post, but too cute to not share.

So enjoy a few of these.

And hopefully they'll brighten your day.  Even if it's just a little bit.

Happy day!

Here I am!!

Yes, it seems that I've disappeared for awhile. I'm apparently still suffering from my cookie hangover. Over two months ago.

Yikes!

However I have been making cookies. Really.

I made some for my brothers birthday. Valentines ones for my grandma, friends and people at the office. Then some Birthday cookies for another friend.

And then this week two different sets of 2nd Birthday cookies as well as birthday cookies for my cousins.

And now I'm in New York on vacation. Hoping to find myself more baking paraphernalia.

So until then I'll leave you with pictures of cookies I've made in the last month.
