Happy Thursday to my lovely readers!
Here we are again, it's almost that time! Soon it will be Friday and we will have 2 days of pure weekend bliss. I, for one, can't wait! Last weekend and this week have been very busy for me so I am ready to kick back, relax, and recharge!
I wanted to show you what's been keeping me so busy this week. C is in Florida right now for his cousin's high school graduation. While I couldn't go, I still wanted to send something for his family to enjoy. I got it in my head that it would be fun to make decorated sugar cookies...why I thought this is totally beyond me. But I was determined to see the project through!
By the way, I had initially decided on making around 30 cookies, but C quickly let me know that there was going to be a BIG party to celebrate and there were around 75 family members and friends coming [this is obviously the point when I should have turned and run away, but I have this overpowering desire to impress the family]...
After several failed attempts at getting the right shade of royal blue icing, I started to give up. But then I came up with the brilliant idea of e-mailing the Cookie Queen herself, and my goodness, she was so helpful! She was like a cookie angel sent from above! Armed with her excellent tips and advice, I set out once more to try to decorate the cookies and this time, I was successful!
