I found this super cute clipart and bought it with the specific purpose of using it to guide me in making these specialty Halloween cookies to send to a friend. I thought they would be really fun, but alas another friend of mine desperately needed cookies for a family get together and I just couldn't say no. At least I got to take a few pictures before they were gone.
I worked at a volunteer event today from 8am-10pm. Yep, 14 hours volunteering. My feet hurt, my back hurts and I am exhausted. The cool thing though is that I had a wonderful time and it felt so great to be of service. It was for a very worthy cause and I met a bunch of wonderful people and got to see a bunch of people that I think the world of and some I haven't seen since last year. The event really couldn't have been better and I feel truly blessed and honored to be a part of it. I have one more volunteer event tomorrow (only about 5-6 hours) and then I get to make field hockey cookies. I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. What do you think of a cookie challenge? I think we need one for the fall....
Yes please! To a challenge that is.
ReplyDeleteI'm a relatively new follower, and would love a chanceh to participate in something fun like this, and maybe get a few followers (or helper-out-ter-ers) along the way too :) Feedback is so wonderful.
I love these cookies, they remind me of the girl in all the peanut comics *grin*
Love, love, love your cookies. Great of you to volunteer like that.
ReplyDeleteI 'might' be up for a challenge but my husband will kill me. I just made some for Halloween and he is TRYING to lose weight. :)
He is laid off so it is hard to hide doing them. :)
I wish I could find a used KopyKake.

I'm game. What's your plan?
ReplyDeleteThese cookies are too cute Cristin! And yes I'm up for a fall challenge. Sounds great.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable and done free hand makes them all the more wonderful! Hope you get a good rest between all your busy volunteering and your Field Hockey cookies! Love your pumpkin blog background. I can't participate in the challenge but I'll certainly enjoy seeing what everyone else does.
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable!! And they are hand drawn, so cool!! I would love to try to get in on one of your cookie challenges!! :-)

Great ladies. We'll do a cookie challenge of FALL cookies.
ReplyDelete* Susie - participate anyway. Just put them in the freezer and pull a couple out now and then. If you leave them all out, it will be difficult for your hubby's diet.
* Paula - even though you aren't on Facebook, you can still play along. Just send me an email of your cookies and I'll post them for you.
* Sharon, Giselle, Carsedra & Biscuit (I don't know your name sorry)- I'd LOVE to have you join our next cookie challenge! That always makes it so much fun when we play together!
Some of the most adorable fall cookies I've seen! I can tell these were a lot of work! Have a good night's sleep, and Happy Halloween, Cristin!
ReplyDeleteCristin,
ReplyDeleteGood idea about freezing them. I'll check your blog over to see if you talk about the best way to do that. :)
If you ever hear of a projector for sale, please let me know. :)
Thanks,
Susie
Susie if you freeze your cookies to help hubby with his diet, just make sure they are completely bagged. I individually bag each cookie and then I put all those bagged cookies into a freezer ziplock bag or a sealed tupperware container. With a teenager in the house, I very rarely have any extra cookies to hide away, but that would be how to store them to save for later. Another thing is that when you take a couple out. LEAVE THEM BAGGED with NO AIR until they are fully defrosted. The second you open that bag with a cold or frozen cookie, the icing will start to get gummy/sticky.
ReplyDeleteCristin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great freezing instructions. :)
