Fruitful Week ;)

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.)

Hawaiian Luau

The grand finale of my CRAZIE Summer Cookie week is cookies for a Hawaiian Luau this Sunday evening. The event will honor the graduating seniors of our church's youth group, of which I have two, Keith & Allison.

Sadly, Keith can't attend since he's been in his

Army Basic Training for one month now. (But he only has 40 days left.....yippee!)

Here's more Hawaiian shirts.....can you say "colors paired WILDLY"?!

 

My first try at hibiscus. These are not exactly what I'd hoped, but they're OK for the first try.

 

Hulu dancers......yikes. I don't like doing people on a cookie......too hard.....especially the faces.

 

Welcome to my palm tree forest......

and my flamingo farm....

and my pineapple grove. lol

This was tricky......sometimes photographing lots of cookies is like putting together a puzzle. I won't tell you how many pics I took of the grouping. ;)

So this is the conclusion of my summer extravaganza. Who knows what I'll get a notion to do next week. =)
