Welcome to CookieCrazie!

I'm Pam and I'm CRAZIE about decorating cookies. :)

Even ahead of cookie decorating, I love Jesus and am so thankful to be following Him with all my heart. Without Him, there would be no CookieCrazie, no website, no artistic talent, and nothing to share.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5

There is no doubt in my mind….that everything I describe here in “about me” is fruit that God has allowed me to bear in His name. I am eternally grateful to Him!

I've been married to Allan for over 40 years and we have five adult children. Plus I am Grammy to four of the most adorable children ever! My family is my crowning jewel. I am so proud of all of them and love them so much. ♥️

I've loved to bake since I was a little girl. I remember decorating cookies with my dad and sisters every Christmas. I wanted to pass on that tradition to my kids, so we decorated sugar cookies every Christmas.

I started decorating cookies for each season and holiday as my kids were in their teen years. Then around 2007, the internet opened my world to so many great decorators and challenged me to improve my skills. I found I loved corn syrup glaze icing over royal icing....and became determined to make it work in making beautiful, delicious cookies. I started blogging here in February of 2008 to keep a "journal" of my adventures. And the rest is history....

I’ve had the privilege since then to literally go all over the world and share cookie decorating with others. Wow! Who would have thought that such a fun and quirky hobby could become one of my lifelong passions?

In August 2018, I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I’ve undergone two surgeries and lots of treatments, modalities, prescriptions, and supplements since then. In May 2020, the scans showed bone metastasis. Even with treatment, things have continued to downward spiral.

My body has been so compromised that I’ve been unable to decorate cookies since September 2020. 💔 It broke my heart to surrender something I’ve loved and enjoyed for most of my life.

I’m not sure what my future holds, but I know who holds my future. I believe that God has me in the palm of His hand and will carry me through this with either healing here on earth OR the ultimate healing in heaven. No matter…..I’ve been blessed beyond measure!

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7

Decorating has given me much joy over these many years. There’s nothing better than pouring your heart into a batch of sugar cookies and then sharing them with those you love. It is a gift within my life that I truly treasure.

Thank you for loving me, encouraging me and allowing me to have this platform to share my passion. It has been an incredible journey to do what I love and share it with you. Your prayers, support, and incredibly encouraging notes these last couple of years is much appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ♥️
