This star cookie is for you...

My middle son had his 4 year checkup today, and as I have stated before, I like to shower the staff at the clinic when we go in, they work hard, and they are always great to work with, so with yesterday being the 4th, I decided to shower them with star cookies.

Enjoy!

Summer Birthday Fun

When I went to bed later than I like on Thursday after finishing up a few orders I said to my husband that it should be a quiet 4th of July weekend. I didn't have any more orders on the books. After I dropped my cookies off for Ms. Debbie and her co-workers at The Clipper's Mate, I received a phone call from Sue. She asked if I had any cookies that she could use for her daughter's birthday party. I didn't have any sitting at home, but decided I would have time to make these for her. So here they are, these cookies are for a girl who is celebrating her 14th birthday. The cookies are cupcakes, stars, flip flops and beach balls.

Enjoy!

4th of July

These cookies are headed to Illinois to help celebrate the 4th of July as well as welcome a new member to the family. Thanks Elaine, enjoy your new granddaughter!

Enjoy!

Stars and Stripes for the 4th

Typically I like two weeks’ notice for my cookies, it gives me time to prepare myself, think and brainstorm how exactly I am going to accomplish them, and if need be it gives me plenty of time to do a sample or test run so that I am not frustrating myself and family because my cookies aren't what I think they should be.

So when Sarah sent me a message asking if she could get cookies for today on Wednesday, it threw me for a loop. I knew I would be making cookies for a 50th birthday surprise so having cookies wasn't going to be an issue, the issue was going to be getting my creative juices flowing on stars and stripes. Thank goodness I made some flags and stars for Memorial Day, so I "knew" what I was in for.

So here they are in all their glory...they were picked up this morning and are headed to Minnesota for a birthday surprise.

Thanks Sarah!

Enjoy!

Remembering those on Memorial Day

These are some cookies that I made in honor of Memorial Day, but in my “rush” to get them done, I didn’t take enough time to let them completely dry/set so they were enjoyed by some not so picky little boys in our house.
