Skateboarding Cookies...for Shane!

I have a friend named Caron.

 

Caron has a daughter named Calee.

 

Calee has a boyfriend named Shane.

 

 

Shane is a semi-pro skateboarder!

 

 

I have never met Caron, or Calee...or Shane.

 

But I know Caron is super sweet

 

and

 

I know that Caron raised a super sweet daughter in Calee

 

 

and

 

I am sure that Shane is super cool.

 

How can he NOT be?

 

He is a Semi-Pro Skateboarder!

 

He MUST be Cool...it's like a law or something...I am sure of it.

 

 

So....Shane has a big Skateboarding Competition Thingy

coming up this weekend in Colorado.

 

And Calee wanted cookies for Shane.

 

so

 

Caron contacted me

 

 

And I made cookies!

 

 

Now....I am not Cool...

 

and

 

I know

 

NOTHING

 

about Skateboarding

 

or

 

What is cool now.

 

(if you want 1990's...I got your back)

 

but 2012 cool

 

not so much!

 

So, I turned to my cookie friends

 

and they quickly

brought me up to speed!

 

 

 

So...I went to work and made what I  think are

 

some cool cookies!

 

Wanna See?

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

And just to prove I can stay true to my

Simple Cookie self....

 

I made some

Simple Cookies Too!

 

 

 

Thank you for the order

Caron and Calee!

 

Good luck this weekend Shane...I am sure

you will a ROCK STAR!

 

 

 

Until next time.....

Horsing Around

 

 

My husband informed me on Saturday,

That a good friend of ours

had a birthday on Friday.

 

 

I should be on top of these things

 

but, sadly

 

I fall short

 

like a lot!

 

 

So...what does any good cookier do when a good friend has a

birthday?

 

 

We make cookies!

 

Keeping in the tradition of The Cookie Puzzle

 

 

I went simple

 

 

And

 

I really like how these came out!

 

 

Our Birthday "Boy" loves horses

 

so horses he got!

 

 

And I also did a few "western" themed cookies!

 

 

 

and

 

because my husband was sitting with me

when I was looking for images

 

I had no choice but to let him

pick one!

 

Note to self...don't do that again..because if

you do...you have to make a cookie

that looks like this!

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Jerry!

 

I hope your day was wonderful!

 

 

 

 

 

Until next time.....

 

 

 

Hugs

Apple Picking Time

I love Fall!

 

It is my favorite Season..

 

Not too hot

 

and

 

Not too cool

 

Perfect weather for me!

 

Pumpkins

 

Mums

 

Beautiful Fall Leaves

 

and

 

Apples!

 

 

When I saw These cookies on Facebook

 

 

 

I KNEW I HAD to make them!

 

 

THEN

 

 

Pam posted a tutorial on how to make them Here

 

 

But I had a slight problem

 

 

I did not have a Latte cookie cutter or a mini moon cutter!

 

AND

 

I live in the middle of a Cookie Cutter Shopping Dessert!

 

SO

 

Dug through my cutters..and found some cutters that I thought would

work,a large gift tag and a mini flower, and gave it a try!

 

 

 

I have to tell you...I LOVE these cookies

 

While they are not a wonderful as Pam's

I am pretty darn proud of them!

 

I will be making them again..and better next time I hope!

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much Pam!

 

You are the reason I started this cookie adventure!

 

Each of your cookies make me smile!

 

You have a heart for giving and sharing,

and for that I am truly grateful!

 

God Bless You!

 

If you don't know about Pam, her cookies, and her

wonderful mission, please take a moment to visit

her site, CookieCrazie, I promise you

will fall in love...I did!

 

Until next time

 

 

Hugs

See that cool collage  up there...well...I did it with

Picmonkey!

 

 

Picmonkey is way cool!

 

My dear friend Melissa, of Simply Sweets by Honeybee

Did an amazing post last night about her

photo set up...and

 

WOW!

 

I had no idea about Picmonkey!

 

This is strange to me, as Melissa and I chat about eleventy thousand

times a day...and my girl was holding out on me!

 

While I SHOULD be mad...and not only talk to her, for

like 3 hours or so... but I can't!

 

Once I read her post...I quickly hopped over to

Picmonkey..and WOW oh WOW!

 

It was soo easy..like in one click, my pictures looked sooo

much better!

 

So, I have decided to be a mature person.

 

I Will forgive her this once...and instead give her a big

 

THANK YOU!

 

Cause I am nice like that!

 

If you have a second..hop over to Melissa's blog and read her post

 

Here

 

I bet you will find it as helpful as I did!

Until next time

Soccer Balls anyone?

My cousins, Cole and Luke, play soccer.

 

 

They wanted soccer ball cookies.

 

 

I know NOTHING about soccer.

 

BUT!

 

I DO know about cookies.

 

So I busted out my KopyKake, and my circle cutters

and made them some cookies!

 

 

 

 

 

See...I made a soccer ball cookie!

 

And I did not stop there!

 

I made lots of soccer ball cookies!

 

 

 

 

They were fun...lots of fun to make!

 

Oh...and in case you were a little freaked out

by the photos...well...the background at least.

 

Don't worry...the grass is scrap booking paper.

 

I DID NOT, make cookies for my cousins

then take them outside, and place them

on the grass to take pictures

 

BECAUSE

 

1.  That is just gross and and un-sanitary.

 

2.  We have no grass in Missouri...because we have no rain.

 

 

Good luck Cole and Luke...I hope you have a great season!

 

 

 

 

 

Hugs

Kim
