Cookie Swap Cookies - Part Two

Last week, I shared with you cookies I made for a cookies swap I did,

 

 

you can see them Here

 

 

Today, I want to share the cookies that

 

 

I and Collin got in the mail!

 

 

I had no idea what to expect...or what I might get,

 

 

But let me tell you..

 

 

When I opened the box

 

 

Collin and I were both in SHOCK!

 

 

Collin was grinning from ear to ear!

 

 

I was in tears!

 

 

As we pulled out cookie after cookies,

 

 

we were both shocked and amazed!

 

 

The package was from

 

 

The Amazing Jodi of Serendipitous Sweets!

 

 

If you are not familiar with Jodi..please take some
time to check out her amazing cookies!
 

Some of my favorites are These, and These

 

 

and of course THESE!
 

So....would you like to see what we got?

Ok...prepare to be amazed!
 

 First up Jodi made me some Christmas Daisies!  Daisies are my FAVORITE flower!

Then...I told the ladies in the swap, that Collin and I fight over cookies when

we get them in the mail, so she made cookies with our names on them! No more fighting!

 

 

Then...I pulled these beauties out of the box


PUZZLES!  Lots and Lots of Puzzles!


And in The Cookie Puzzle colors...be still my heart!

 

 

 

Then.....wrapped in red tissue paper, were the most amazing cookies


Cookies JUST FOR COLLIN!

OMG!


These are COOKIES!

Collin has collected Nutcrackers for years, he has well over 200 of them, we are
actually running out of room, but when Collin saw these cookies,
he quickly told me

"These are NOT for eating"
and they are now on display, with the rest of his Nutcrackers!


Thank you soo much Jodi, Collin and I really enjoyed the cookies!

Until next time....

Cookie Swap Cookies - Part One

I know this is a little late...
 

but you know what they say...
 

"Better late then never"
 

I had the great pleasure to be asked to be a part of a very special

cookie swap organized by Lene of Not Your Everyday Cookie

she had us all fill our questionnaires, then handed them out

we then made cookies based on the answers given by the person we were given


I was SOOO nervous....making cookies is stressful enough

BUT

making cookies for another cookie decorator,

that adds a whole new level to the stress.

BUT..

Then I got my name!

WOOT WOOT!

I got a good friend of mine!

Someone who has had my cookies before,

and I have had the pleasure of having her cookies too!

She is just the sweetest person on the earth...

and crazy talented as a cookie decorator

and she just so happens to be the mom of two of
the cutest kiddos in the world!

I got to make cookies for

Stephanie of Ellie's Bites Decorated Cookies!

If you are not familiar with Stephanie's work, you are missing out

Check out These, and These and These!

Really...I could go on and on....Stephanie makes amazing cookies, they are
almost as sweet as she is!

Please take a moment to look around her blog...you will not be disappointed!

So....I get to make cookies for Stephanie...and thanks to the questionnaire
she filled out...designs were easy to choose.

So...lets get to know Stephanie a little better shall we, I made cookies
that represent some of her favorite things.


Stephanie loves coffee

Disneyland is her favorite vacation location

she is a dental hygienist, who loves koala bears  (two for one cookie)

she loves mint chocolate chip ice cream

if she was stranded on a desert island, she would want a loaded nook and Hershey Kisses

and she loves to collect art work with her kids hand prints on them!

The entire collection!

And remember those two cute kids I told you about,
well, I HAD to send cookies for them too!

Then, when Collin found out I was making cookies for Stephanie,
Collin just HAD to make cookies for Ellie and Ben too, he says they are his
cookie buddies!
(I totally forgot to take pictures, so Stephanie sent me a picture she took, thanks Steph!)

These were really fun cookies to do...and they could not have gone to
a sweeter person.

Thanks for being such a great friend Stephanie

you ROCK...

and so do you cookies!


Next time...I will show you the AMAZING
cookie I (and Collin) got in the mail!

WOW...they blew my mind!

Until next time....

Hugs
