Hitchhiker's Guide... 42 is still the ultimate answer, even in Russian ;)

Cookie's Cookies

Jerry's Birthday Cookies

My friend and coworker, who I have done many cookies for in the past, told her mom about my new hobby and she decided to put me to the test. I apologize in advance for the really bad pics. I wish I had a good excuse but it was really early in the morning when I started boxing them up and I'm just glad I remembered to use the camera at all.

This set was for a friend that was turning 60. I was told his pride and joys are a '57 Corvette and a sailboat named Synchrony. His hobbies were crabbing, fishing, and duck hunting. This one was kind of fun because I could be really creative with what I wanted to do. We decided on a corvette and a sail boat of course, then a duck decoy, a fish, and a Maryland blue crab, since that's what he fishes for. I love the net behind the crab :) She said the birthday boy enjoyed them a lot... onto the next order....

ECU Tailgating Cookies... go Pirates!

The next order for Cookie was going to attend an ECU tailgating party. I'd done a few college things before but ECU had very stylized everything so this was a little bit of a challenge. We decided to use a little bit of liberty and try to embrace the spirit of ECU rather than be a photo copy of their logos and mascot. I went out a bought the skull and cross bone cutter and I found a really cute little pirate hat that we bought as well and I used on top of my skull and cross bones :)

Summer Fun... Flip flops and fishes!

So Emily sent me an email after seeing my very first cookies and wanted flip flops for her and fishes for her husband since he likes to fish. She let me have total creative freedom which was really fun. I probably made way too many colors for such a small order but I couldn't help myself. These were my first fish and let me tell you, that little "smile" makes all the difference, they went from looking like a cheap decoration to something with personality with just one little stroke of my magical markers. She said she wanted some sort of "gone fishing" sign so I decided to make matching dots to display her message.

They just went into the mail to meet them on vacation later this week. I really hope she likes them, I totally fell in love with them and they almost didn't make it ;)
