No Buyer's Remorse For This One

Since so many cookie cutters in my collection have NEVER been used,  I always hesitate to buy new ones.  However, I am so happy I didn't pass up this bargain in the sale bin!  A cutter that I thought I might never use, has turned out to be one of my favorites.  With just a few simple cuts of the knife, it can be quite versatile.

I purchased it in 2013 and used it for Mary Grace's ice-cream themed birthday party. . . a vampire just for fun. . . a gal at the spa as part of a retirement collection. . .and now a mermaid.

 This one is definitely a keeper.

Let's Make A Splash for Leann's 8th Birthday

Great-niece, Leann, celebrated her eighth birthday with an indoor pool party and requested mermaid cookies for her friends.

Maybe I am sentimental, but I thought it was sweet that I was able to use the same cookie cutter that I used for big sister Mary Grace's eighth birthday party in 2013.

Love, hugs, and cookies 

to

the birthday girl, Leann,

and

her family!

Cookies for Mya and Tara

 I promised two special little girls that I would make cookies for them.  I wasn't sure what designs I wanted to make, but as I was walking through my local craft store I found my inspiration in a photo box that will double as a gift box for the cookies.




Since I didn't have a Mermaid cutter, I used the girl cutter from Karen's Cookies and hand cut a tail.  The arms did not turn out the way I had planned them, but I know that Mya and Tara will like them anyway.  That's the great thing about making cookies for kids, they don't critique the designs, they just like to eat them.
