My Year in Cookies!

It has been an eventful year, and I can remember each day by the cookies that I made. Some of you have been with me from day one and PATIENTLY waited as I totally erased and SLOWLY reposted my blog.-

You have also watched me get knocked flat on my butt, and cheered me on as I dusted myself off and got back up.  I am grateful to each and every one of you that took the time to encourage me and keep me moving, even on the days when I wonder why the heck I continue with this crazy hobby!  And I especially appreciate those of you who took the time to email me, and give me the little push I needed to get back into blogging gear...I TEND to procrastinate!  I appreciate it more than you will ever know, and hope I can give something back.

Here is my year in cookies. These are my favorites...some of them I've reposted, some never made it back onto the blog, so I am catching up now.  My goal for next year is to improve my skills, produce MORE original designs, and teach others to make gorgeous cookies also! Happy New Year!

    These are wonderful. How long does it take you to decorate a batch of cookies? Where do you come up with the cute designs? I hope your business is booming for you as it should!
