The Huskers and a Hail Mary

I don't know what you were doing last week, specifically Saturday around 6:23 pm CST, but much of Husker Nation was watching this...

Talk about a crazy play.

And a fantastic victory that Husker Nation needed.

I'm sure it was my cookies that helped.

Right?

Either way...we'll take the win.

Go Big Red!

Halloween was so last week...

And I made cookies to celebrate.

My mom had asked if I'd make some mummy cookies for a Halloween dinner party they were having for their friends.

Perfect excuse to try making them.  Can you believe I've never made mummies?  Yeah, me either.

The rest I made and took down to Kansas City when we visited family.

My rendition of a chic-monster.  I mainly wanted to try out my chevron stencil.

And apparently I thought gold was a good color choice.

Boo.

Scared you didn't I?

And since I was in a "black-is-cool" mood, I continued with black sparkly pumpkins.

My absolute least favorite...but at least I tried...was this skeleton.  Yuck.  I only did three and then gave up.

How's that for follow through?

Hope you all had a fantastically spooky Halloween.

What Do You Get from a Kangaroo & the Number 50?

Another week decorating cookies.

The 50 cookies were for a lovely couple who were celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary.  A little gold airbrushing and some red frosting fun makes for great cookies at a party.

The second set of cookies were because of a bet I lost with friends.  I won't mention the stakes as you can see I lost.  And it was requested that I make a dozen kangaroo cookies.

Challenge accepted.

Difficult, but accepted.

Especially since I didn't have a kangaroo cutter.

But I have a husband I can convince to make one.

And apparently they seemed to work...

Frosting them was a true challenge...mainly because I had zero idea what I wanted to do.

Nothing like going into decorating a cookie blind.

I'm happy to report that they were a hit.

Both sets.

Just another normal week decorating cookies.  Kangaroos and 50's....I wonder what next week will bring?
