Can Do Attitude

John Atkinson, over at Wrong Hands, has me in stitches. Chortling, nonstop.  The way this man thinks is right up my alley. And yes, I have asked to use his cartoons as a jumping off point for cookies. I may or may not have requested permission and then bribed him with cookies. In any case, this set started with inspiration from the brilliant brain of John and modified with some Mayer mania.  It was my set to encourage someone that they could do it!  It’s all about the CAN do attitude.

Stick with It

One advantage of waiting so long to post this set is that it is hockey season again (we are in that sweet spot of sports where it is baseball, football, hockey, and basketball season all at once.  Choice is a good thing, right?)

Anyway, back to hockey. … and word play.

Glad Grad

We have been renovating a 30 year old house since we moved to New Hampshire this past spring.  Many people will warn you about the costs and the timeline of renovations.  “Many people” were correct, correct, and, oh yeah, CORRECT! But, at last, catching up on the cookie sets never posted….

I created this set last spring for one GLAD GRADuate. Thank you Lawdy that that part of schooling was done (although she is now working on her Masters…). Impressive.gladgrad3.jpg

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus

Time for the annual Christmas Eve dinner place cards for my sweet friend Colleen.  This year she wanted something Santa inspired so I used SemiSweetMike’s mug cookie cutter to create this table setting.  Where there is hope and magic, there is wonder.  We could all use a little more wonder in this world.  Hope your day is merry and bright, where ever and whom ever you are.

Gingerbread Train

3D gingerbread trains were a little out of my box.  But what the client wants, the client gets.  The engine was a 5″ cookie with an additional “coal” cart custom behind. Included were two huge gingerbread men (one was a woman, actually) and two little ones that fit in the  front compartment of the train.  All to be decorated at the party and taken home in their custom box.

Fa Law Law Law Law

 

Holiday office party for the judicial courts in Colorado.  Please pun, the client said.  I don’t have to be asked twice. Her favorite were the ‘briefs’…

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

The main jolly old elf and his helpers made an appearance at this celebration. The helper elves were called out by name as they brought sweet treats to good girls (and boys). Ornaments added to the festive setting. Loosen those belts and let the season begin!
