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

That sounds bad.

Sorry.  As a part of my new year's resolution to get more organized in my cookie life I've been organizing photos on our home computer.  Yikes.  Me messy.

And I've come across stuff I haven't posted.

So here it is.

In no special order with no special reason.

Just cookies.

Thankfully you'll all be happy to know that thanks to a fantastic new year's day sale on Amazon - I bought myself a new Canon 60D camera.  So I love taking photos now.  Lots of photos.  It's fun.

Get ready for lots o'cookie photos.

And now you can sleep easy.

Welcome!

A friend asked if I'd made cookies for new neighbors that just moved in next door.

And she gave me free reign on the design.

So I went with the obvious.

Houses. 

Little houses to be exact.

And a little key.

It doesn't open anything though.

Here's the "in action" shot...the packaging part that is.

I hope they enjoyed them.  They were fun to make!

Please Don't Go!

Friends of ours are moving to Minnesota.  We're sad to see them leave the Cornhusker State but know they'll be back in the fall for football games and heck maybe even some road trips up to the land of 10,000 lakes.

There was a going away party.

We went to it.

I took cookies.

I went with a "moving" theme.

Not movie.

Moving.

Like a moving truck.

Or packing boxes.

And a key to their new home. 

And a letter "A" because their last name starts with A.

They look pretty nifty all together.

Come home (to Nebraska) soon!
