Happy Birthday to Princess Jenna!

Wedding Shower Cookies

I was so excited to have several cookie orders the week after Christmas. These were for a wedding shower and I thought they turned out very cute! Thank you Denise!

Christmas Ornaments

These are some of my favorite cookies that I have ever done! They were for a little girls' cheerleading Christmas ornament exchange party. It was so fun to put all of the girls' names on their cookies. I am sure they loved that! Thanks Lisa!
 
 

Christmas Cookies for CityChurch

I got to do cookies for the CityChurch children's workers for three different weeks in December. I did bells & candy canes one week, then snowmen, hats & mittens one week, and lastly (no pictures) I did trees, presents and ornaments. Thanks Misty!
 
 

Tis the Season...For Christmas Cookies!

 I did a LOT of Christmas cookies this year! I was very excited to have so many orders! It kept me very busy. I wish I would have taken pictures of them all, but it just didn't happen! Thanks to everyone who placed Christmas orders!
 

Razorback Cookies

This was a first for me...Arkansas Razorback cookies! When asked if they were cute, I said, "Well, if a hog can be cute, I think they turned out very cute!" Thanks Kristi!

Christmas Cookie Bouquets

14 Christmas Bouquets & 3 dozen cookies for our STBC Staff family. (These were gifts from us, not orders.) This definitely kept me busy for a few days!

I had fun with these firetrucks and dinosaurs! I made them for the Craft Fair, and they were some of the first ones to sell out.

Cute Cupcakes

One of my very favorites...a cupcake and cookie in one! Does it get any better?!

Cookies at the Craft Fair


I am now "officially" in the cookie business! This was my first attempt at selling cookies at the Craft Fair at our church, and it was very successful! I have to say that I was very stressed out about it. I joked with people when they asked how I had time to do this, that the girls had been in their pajamas for the past 2 days, and both Grandma's came to our rescue! Honestly, I could never have done this without my mom and Brian's mom. I made close to 200 cookies, and 5 cookie bouquets and sold almost all of them. This was a great way to get my name out there, and to let people know that I am starting to do this now. I really don't want to turn my kitchen into a full time bakery, but I am hopeful that I can make some extra money here and there. It would definitely help out!
The table looked so pretty! I loved spending the day with my mom! She taught me everything I know about making cookies. I couldn't help but think how much Grandma Jean would have loved to be there to sit and visit with us. She would have been proud of me, and that makes me smile!
It was fun to see which cookies people picked out! I think I had close to 20 different kinds.
