Wednesday was Zebra Day. Had a blast with them. I had a horse cookie cutter that I was going to use but it was way to big. I don't know what I was thinking when I got it. But luckily I could make one and it came out better than the mass produced store bought one. I love these zebras.

And of course more butter flies. They are still one of my favorite ones to make.

I made these cookies for friends. I had a batch of dough that I need to use. I went a little nuts with these. I actually saw these or something similar on another blog but they were square. I don't have a square cookie cutter with the scalloped edge so I used my heart one. The stripes on the others were more pastel too. Jim just came into the room and called my cookies "Jailbird Hearts".

Ha! Ha! Ha! he thinks he is sooooo funny. I kind of like the name though. The pink and orange hearts came about because I had extra frosting and ran out of the white.

Some of the cookies this week saved my sanity. I love making the Butterflies. I can be creative. I get all the frosting colored and in the piping bags and then just create what ever I want. If colors don't match, it doesn't matter because they are butterflies anything goes.

I was in denial for a short time. I feel better about posting theses now. Time softens the pain.

Cookie cutters I made today. the New England Patriot for me and the BYU logo for a Friend. I still need to work on the Oval its not ovally (is that right..ovally) enough for me. The ends need to be a little thinner.

These cookies were for a Young Women's Program at our church last night. The program was really great! The cookies did not come out as good as I hoped. The tendinitis in my wrist acted up. I had a hard time doing the lettering. Most of the cookies were gone in seconds so what really matters is that they tasted good. This logo doesn't show it but the sun is off center which makes some of the "rays" of the sun shorter in some places. Sorry the logo did not copy into my blog:(

I needed a shark cookie cutter. So I made one. I really like making my own cookie cutters. I can never find ones that I need. To make a cutter usually takes about an hour. I now have a good collection of them.

I haven't had a lot of cookies to make over the past month. So I was very excited to finally get back into baking and decorating.

Just got a new computer. Now I can down load pictures so much easier than before. Love it! Thanks for this picture Kent and April.

I forgot about these Santa's. I needed to get some done quickly for Jim. I actually kind of like them. Next time I think I will use jimmies or nonpareils for the hat and pompom. they need some dimention.

So.... I've been on vacation from cookies these past 3 weeks. Mostly because I wanted to be and I didn't have any cookie orders. These Mitten cookies I made (with Katie's help) for the Primary children at church. It was fun to do these with katie she is getting good at decorating. My brother Braden and his family came over and we decorated Gingerbread houses which was a lot of fun, messy but fun!

These are some of my Fall cookies. My daughter Katie helped decorate the fall leaves. I think she did a great job.

Pumpkin Witch cookies made to the Foxboro Ward Halloween Party. The Primary kids all got one. Fun to make! Thank you Sharon for coming over and helping. You don't know what a big help that was. you are the Best! The rest of the pictures are from the night before the party. We had just finished decorating. Thank you! Olivia, Katie, Douglas, Ashley, Jimmy and Jacob for all of your help. Jacob you are a rock star!!!!

Last Tuesday I got a knock at the door. The Mail man had a box for me. I love it when I get unexpected boxes. Its like Christmas. NOT!!! This box was a return over a year late. I had sent cookies to a Friends son who was working in Texas at the time. Obviously the box got lost in transit and was only just delivered. Unfortunately they delivered it a year to late. The box was refused and returned to me. I owe my friend a dozen cookies. Whats funny is that only 4 cookies were broken. My son Douglas still wanted to eat one.

50th Anniversary cookies

Onesies, but I guess you can't call them that because the name is trademarked. (What ever!!!!)So.... the Baby body suit and the Pea's in a pod were for a baby shower this week end.

Bridal shower cookies. How do I keep the Dark frosting from seeping into the white? Just wondering...... Baby shower cookies next. Pink Onesies and Peas in a pod. Then a 50th anniversary cookie my husband the graphic designer is helping me design that. I will post that next week end

Last week we had Grandma and Grandpap Irey and Aunt Jane come to visit. One of the things Aunt Jane wanted to do was learn how to decorate cookies. These are our efforts. I had a blast.

These cookies were for a conference last weekend. FSA is Families Supporting Adoption. I made a little hand stencil for them. The Temple cookies were a "thank you" at the same conference.

3 ya love 3!
Not 2 anymore
and not 4 yet.
Love 3!

Oh my gosh it has been so crazy around our house. With vacation, Irene, back to school stuff and what not. But I did get to squeeze in some cookies. They are my calm between the storms. Hope all my friends and family are well and safe tonight. Hope you like theses cookies. It's 11:30 going to bed. Oh I forgot! Olivia and I put up 75 pints of Salsa this past week. My dining room table is full, Salsa anyone?
