Inspirational Message Crosses by Simply Sweets by Honeybee {Guest Post}

You are in for a very special treat today at The Cookie Puzzle!

Today..I have a VERY special person guest posting here!

I am sooo excited!

Wanna know who it is?

It is Melissa of Simply Sweets by Honeybee!

I first fell in love with Melissa's cookies when I saw

These cookies, in March of last year.

I was totally smitten with them...and I totally started stalking all

her cookies and blog posts.

THEN...

I met her...well, not met met her...like online met her!

And...she is just the sweetest person.

She is so talented..and caring.

In just a few short months...she has become my PERSON!

Do you have a person?

If not, I suggest you get one.

Have you noticed that my pictures have gotten better?

That is because of Melissa!

More frequent blog posts...yep  Melissa!

We "talk" eleventy million times a day..she grounds me, uplifts me, makes me laugh

and just "gets" me.

Everyone needs a Melissa in their life...if you don't have one..well go get one

but get your own...this one is mine.!

So...enough Kim babble..

lets get to the real reason for this post

Take it away Melissa!

Thanks Kim for inviting me over to your blog. I'm happy to be here giving this whole guest blogging thing a whirl. I can't say enough nice things about Kim. She is so genuine, caring and kind. She is my person too. We do chat eleventy million times a day and have become great friends. We bounce ideas off each other for cookies and blog posts. We talk about personal stuff and TV shows. We have discovered that we have so much in common and we have similar beliefs. I don't know if we've decided yet but I think she's Meredith and I'm Christina (that's a Grey's Anatomy reference if you don't watch the show). I have met some amazing people all because of cookies. That's why I'm here today to talk about cookies so let's get into it.

One thing I love about Kim is that she loves things simple. So in honor of her motto simple is better, I'm showing you how to make these inspirational message crosses. They are made using a base coat of royal icing and food color writers. That's it. You don't have to have amazing decorating skills. All you need is your imagination to turn cookies like this into whatever you want them to be.

They don't have to be perfect because you are basically doodling on the cookie and they don't have to be religious at all. I made some square cookies too and one was made especially for my bestie Kim.

This technique would be great for Valentine's Day, with words of love on them, or for any other holiday or special event. 

If you don't follow my blog then you might know that I frequent Hobby Lobby a lot. I find a lot of my inspiration there and these inspirational crosses were no exception. All it took was me seeing this cross in the store and it instantly became a cookie in my mind. I collect crosses and this gem came home with me.

I put together a video tutorial for you to see how simple a cookie like this is to make. I hope you will give this technique a try.

I have plenty of other tutorials on my blog and would love for you to come on over and visit. 

Thanks for letting me take over your blog today Kim. It was fun. Hugs!
