End of Chemo

End of Chemo

A friend of mine was celebrating her parents' anniversary and wanted something special to mark the end of her mom's chemo treatments as well. So we put together a few cookies for her. I'm glad she has a sense of humor! I enjoyed making these for her. Congrats!

Girly Cookies

Last week I had a request for a dozen cookies for a friend of mine. There were only two stipulations: they had to be "girly" and they should be pink, lavender, and cream. Well of course I immediately started thinking about all kinds of "girly" designs that I love or wanted to try. I was really wanting to try out some zebra print or maybe take my new makeup cutters for a spin. In the end, I considered the woman for whom I would be making the cookies. She is a classy chick. She has six boys. No, that is not a typo. She is really, really smart. And she is beautiful....in an elegant and thoughtful way. So...I wanted something elegant and thoughtful and who came to my mind? SweetAmbs. I love to copy her work! I had a moment of panic when my cream turned to yellow and the batch started to take on an Easter like feel, but it passed as I added more details. I think these turned out beautifully and I hope they blessed my dear friend!

Coloring Book Cookies

I wanted to create something fun and whimsical for a little girl we know who is in the hospital. What do little girls like? Well, rainbows, hearts, and butterflies, of course! I hope she will find this activity amusing as she colors in the cookies herself and then gets to eat her creations. These cookies should go a long way to combat hospital boredom. Please join me in keeping this sweet family in your prayers! We hope she will come home very soon.
