I didnt forget!

I haven't had any cookie orders recently, so I've had a few weeks off from the cookie life. Actually saying that I've had a few weeks off makes it sound like I am happy about it, but in all reality I have missed it. I love making cookies because it gives me an outlet. It's something creative that I am good at and enjoy, but I don't have to keep it forever. I've never been great at scrap-booking, nor am i much of an artist. I mean, I can draw just like i can frost a Cookie- but let's be real; while these pictures look pretty nice on a cookie its not something i would ACTUALLY want to hang on my wall for all of life.

Man I am having a really hard time with my typing right now. I keep expecting the spell checker to fix my typo's like my iPhone does. and then I have to backspace a million times so I can fix it myself. I guess I'm officially spoiled.

anyway, back to my cookies an how much I have missed them. I missed them so much that I agreed to make some sugar cookies for my husband and his friends tonight while they play Domino's. I had a technique I wanted to try and I think it turned out pretty awesome. Check it out!

I have also been trying to figure out how to make a basket weave with frosting. Everyones always looked so nice and mine always turned out so ugly and spiky! but I finally got around to "Googling" and I found out how. This is my first attempt (the correct way). It's a little sloppy but still SO much better than before.

Also- I ran out of white frosting for the background and I didn't feel like making more (Since this was just for fun) so i just used the teal to finish them and I sort of love them. 

In unrelated news- look at this picture of Harvey that my brother took!!!!!!
