Unfortunately, I did not always take pictures of my cookies, so this will always be an "incomplete" record. Nevertheless, I decided to update the blog to include some pictures that I found from my early days of this cookie adventure.
In 2009, Kaley, the oldest of my "great" nieces/nephews, was the first to receive cookies for a Graduation celebration. Looking back, they are quite a mess, but at the time I was proud of them.
A year later, Kaley's cousin, Chiann, graduated and some improvement can be seen in my decorating skills. At least I added the point on the mortarboard!
As graduations followed, I added different designs and my decorating skills improved.
Diplomas with heart shaped ribbons and the book cookie have been part of every grade school graduation set since 2011.
School celebrations-- There have been so many with this large family, I am sure I missed many achievements, but I tried to acknowledge them whenever possible.
Birthdays. . .
Special cookies at holidays. . .
a baby shower when Elliot arrived early . . .
and a serious illness from start to finish.
I hope the kids in the family have enjoyed receiving their special cookies as much as I enjoy making them.
Finally, this Peter Rabbit cookie became my cookie "identity" along with the moniker, Cookie Friend, when I first started sharing cookie photos and ideas on FLICKR, then via Facebook. It is still one of my favorite designs.
