Yeah. We’ve all been there. That day where nothing goes right. It seems the odds are ever NOT in your favor. Well, let’s change that ‘oh crappy day’ into ‘oh happy day’ with this play on (some of) our favorite emoji.
my nerdy favorite, of course:

Pi Day 2016
Once a nerd, always a nerd. And for us geeks, there is no day like Pi Day- because math is the only subject that COUNTS…
A Hunk, A Hunk of Burning Love
Okay. So it’s actually “a hunk,” “a hunk,” AND burning “love.” Should have made them peanut butter flavor for the King. No matter. Elvis has left the building. Special thanks to the great Callye Alvarado (the Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle) for the original tutorial and hunky torso idea!
I’m Hooked
This valentine is for all those fishermen (or women) out there. Valentine’s Day is the season of puns so I’ve SCALED up my production.
GRATEst Valentine Ever
Who doesn’t love a cheesy Valentine? Well, this is certainly one of my GRATEst ever. So zesty. Ripping the word play to shreds!
Be Mine
A healthy dose of Colorado’s history circles around miners. Some became quite wealthy and you can still visit their homes today (ie- the unsinkable Molly Brown. Actually, she was never called Molly until the movie; she went by Maggie or Margaret.). You can also tour the Colorado School of Mines impressive gem and mineral collection for free (and I have). So when I hear, BE MINE, I don’t think of the usual Valentine. I went for a more literal interpretation. Courtesy of those beautiful, rugged Rockies (filled with all kinds of “rocks”), I give you a gem of a valentine… And thank you Neil Young. Can’t get that song out of my head. Cute presentation thanks to BRPBoxes!
Star Wars Valentine
Let the 2016 valentine season begin. First up is my ode to Star Wars 2016. It’s a War on word play.
You SLEIGH me
Oh the wonder of words and idioms. My fascination with the blend of visual and verbal art continues. Can you hear the sleigh bells ring, as you listen? Cookies hand painted and trimmed with Rainbow Dust edible ink pens. Background mat from InkandElmBackrops.
Polar Opposites Attract
This gingerbread ornament was my contribution to a project organized and installed by LoveBugCookies (per the annual holiday gingerbread cookie collaboration started years ago by TheCookieArchitect). A ‘tree’ filled gingerbread ornaments from around the US/world was placed at the Boulder Crest Retreat for Military and Veteran Wellness in DC. In keeping with my style, I created to a punny ornament that hopefully made our veterans pause for a moment and then smile. Thank you Beth. Thank you Rebecca. Thank you very much, veterans and military personnel.
For Sure, Architecture
There is a lot of fun banter that goes on via the Instagram feed. So it happened that the fabulous Rebecca Weld, aka the Cookie Architect, off-handedly inquired if a particular set of my cookies had a home. And how she was willing to volunteer hers if not. Those cookies were spoken for but the wheels started turning for a “structurally” sound solution. As ridiculous as it seems, there appears to be a pun/wordplay for every situation, including architecture. If you want to have your socks knocked off, click on the link above to visit Rebecca’s blog- and prepared to be dazzled! Her cookie art is one of the Seven Wonders (of the Cookie World).
