Batters up..... Baseball Cookies

Baseball...

I have such fond memories of baseball games....

We went to Reds games when I was young.

I remember sitting in the hot sun.

Complaining.

I remember my Dad buying me hotdogs and ice cream to shut me up....

I remember Mom sneaking in drinks because she hated the concession prices

I remember the cokes from the concessions stand

tasting so much better than the cokes mom brought from home.

I remember watching the game for like five minutes...

and then....

reading my book.

Yes.

You read that correctly.  

Reading my book....

I was that girl....

My friend Barb is contemplating crossing me off her friendship list right now...

I hope she reconsiders...

So,

This post is for all your Reds and baseball fans out there.

Go team.

Batters up...

batter... batter.. batter... batter....

And that is all I can recall.....

about baseball...

But, that ice cream in a cup with the wooden spoon on top....

That...

I remember clearly.

Smiles,

Cookies for Cleveland

I have officially mailed my first batch of cookies.

Well, the first batch of cookies that were not going to family.

Family can be pretty understanding when a few cookies are lost....

Lost to the world of broken cookies. 

Kinda like the land of misfit toys in Rudolf.

Only in the land of broken cookies-

Gingerbread men run around without heads.

Butterflies lose their wings.

And animals end up with a few limbs missing.  

Luckily, I think that this bunch survived the trip.

To Cleveland!!

I was asked to create some cookies for a customer who worked on campaigning for issue 3 in Cleveland.

And my cookies were shared with the group.

The good news- 

Issue 3 passed.  

So, above is the actual logo used.

And below is my simplified interpretation.  

These cookies actually were a lot of fun to make.

And I enjoyed bringing the logo to cookie form.

Enjoy and I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day.

Chugging right along.....

I recently made some train themed cookies for a customer.

That's right...

A real live customer.

I think that they turned out pretty cute.

So, this cookie hobby of mine..

is chugging right along.

Although, I still stress a little when it come times to decorate.

As a critic, I always see the flaws and imperfections.

But, as long as the kids are happy...

I am happy. 

As always...

keep Chugging along...

whether that be trains...

beer...

oops did I say beer....

beer.. chugging...

anyway...

keep chugging away.

Smiles, 

Marci
