CookieCrazie's Week in Review

_________________________________________________

Personal Side

Whirlwind week......I've barely been able to catch my breath.

Thankfully, last weekend included cookie decorating.

That always gives me such joy and peace.

The new website is coming along......hopefully the unveiling will happen this next week.

It would help if I wasn't so busy with a million other things. ;)

But my web designer is awesome......and he's smoothing out all the rough edges.

Stay tuned for the big "reveal".

Going out of town this weekend and next.

It has really thrown a wrench in my "new normal".

Now that I'm working four days a week, I'm learning how to manage home life.

And it was all going well...... until some out-of-town events started coming.

That's OK......I'll figure it out.

The weather is supposed to get more fall-like next week.

I'm super excited about that!

This time of year is the BEST. :)

Anticipating a "gobble" any time now.....

Pumpkins are so fun to decorate....

May your Sunday be filled with many blessings....

Happy Tuesday!

This is probably my favorite autumn cookie from last year.

Autumn Scribbled Decorated Cookies (Tutorial)

Coloring books are big  and popular once again......even for grown-ups.

And it seems, scribbled style cookies are also gaining popularity.

The best part about this design is how simple they are to decorate.

Everything is done with wet-on-wet technique, so it only takes as long

as it takes for you to flood the cookie to be done with it.

This style has a very endearing look.....simple, quirky, and fun.

Pick shapes that are fairly recognizable on their own.

That way, if you're like me and lack a ton artistic ability,

most people will still know what the cookie is even after you've scribbled on it. :)

Flood the cookies with white glaze.

Immediately you can scribble on coordinating colors in all the right places.

(see photos below)

And once you've colored it in (it's OK to be sloppy.....yeah!), just outline it with a dark color.

Boom. Done.
