presentation

2011-04-23T07:47:00.001-07:00

I think that no matter how cute a cookie may be, how it is presented is so important. Every cookie I make comes in a plastic bag, wrapped with a matching ribbon. I put them in pink pastry boxes with pink and chocolate tissue paper. I also contacted a wedding supply store and had ribbon printed with my name on it. What as sweet touch.

Happy Birthday!!

2011-04-23T07:35:00.000-07:00

More cookies

2011-03-27T17:59:00.001-07:00

Here are a few more cookies that have not been posted!!

Photos that I have not yet posted

2011-03-27T17:33:00.000-07:00

I have to apologize for my lack of cookie photos. I have been torn lately between cookies and essential oils. Our family started using oils when my daughter was diagnosed with HSP. It caused bleeding in her joints blood vessels and kidneys. She was pretty sick for a few months. Since we used the oils her health has greatly improved and she is back to normal. So now our family is actively using these oils and they are becoming my passion. Many members in our extended family have been blessed with improved health since using them as well.

I promise to not quit making cookies, but I have a feeling there may be a little bit less than what I have done in the past.

Here is a link to my webpage for the oils if you are interested in looking into providing a safe and effective way to treat your family's health. I no longer have OTC products. I have replaced everything with essential oils.

So now I am the crazy oily cookie lady!! www.doterra.myvoffice.com/maryadams/

Baby Girl

2011-03-17T06:52:00.000-07:00

Birthday "Bots"

2011-03-17T06:48:00.000-07:00

I feel like I haven't made cookies for a long time. I have been busy with the new year and keeping up with my 3 children, ages 4-8. I did take time to make some fun cookies to hang from my light fixture in my dining room. They turned out fun! I have a cookie boutique coming up next weekend which I am hosting in my home. I will post pictures when I get it all set up!

Get well!

2011-01-24T17:13:00.000-08:00

2010-12-09T20:47:00.000-08:00

pumpkin pie

2010-11-10T13:23:00.000-08:00

I have wanted to make these cookies for some time now. I should have let the icing dry a little bit longer before adding the whip cream. I added pumpkin pie spice to the icing, and ground nutmeg to the dollop of whip cream. Who wants pie??

Mexican Fiesta

These cookies were so fun to make. They are for a Mexican Fiesta wedding reception. What better way to celebrate your big day than to have fun food, fun music and family and friends.

Ouch!

I made these for a teen who broke his leg when he was climbing a tree. They had to put pins in his leg to fix the break. The family calls his leg the robot leg. To top it all off he had to have 4 teeth pulled. I added the teeth just for a laugh. His family had a tennis court built in their back yard. Hence the tennis balls. We hope he is better soon!

Happy Birthday!!

I made these for a girl celebrating her birthday this month. She is taking guitar lessons, and loves to be fashionable. Happy Birthday to you!

Get well!

These were made for a lady who fell down her stairs and broke her hip. We are hoping these will make her feel better!

Firehouse dogs.

I made these for the cookie sale. I have never made the fire hydrant before. I need to make these for the firefighters in the area. When I suggested to the kids we should make some for them they had their own cookie designs in mind. My son said we should make a house with a fire coming out of the windows, and my daughter said we should make a cookie look like a hose spirtting water. What great ideas!! I will make them soon!
