Well this week is stacking up to be as cookie crazie as last week. It wasn't intentional......it just happened. :)
First.....here's a pic of the platter I took to the luau Sunday night. The cookies disappeared in minutes. That was a delight in most ways....but to watch them be devoured in just a short amount of time was a little sad too. So much time to create.....so little time to chew and swallow.
This week I had a bunch of icing left over from last week's "summer extravaganza". So yesterday morning I decided to make a large batch of cookies to quickly decorate with all those wonderful colors. However, my crazie-ness kicked into high gear......and suddenly I was headed full steam into decorating an extraordinary number of different fruit cookies. But boy, did I have fun.
And I used a lot of the old icing making the fruit and these simple, but cute smileys. (But I might add, that I made 4-5 more colors of NEW icing to make sure the fruit was more authentic.......My daughter was laughing at me for making new icing when I'm trying to get rid of the old stuff. =))
So here is evidence of my my "fruitful" day yesterday. ;)
First you have your citrus fruit......
then a bunch of fruit that grows on trees.....
add in some berries and cherries (yum!).....
and just a few more.......lol
and suddenly you have a fruit explosion......maybe this would be called the fruit salad. :)
I still have a batch of cookies to do tomorrow for an order.....so I'm not done yet this week.
Tired of my crazie-ness yet??? I hope not....because I sure enjoy having all of you here on my blog..... (Thanks for visiting, by the way.)
Here is the set I am going to use in small gift boxes for all the ladies I'll meet with for Bible study the second week. I wanted to do something extra special for them since they are near and dear to my heart. I'm crazie about the mini ladybug and dragonfly. :)
