Standing Order: Baby Cookie Boxes :)

Interesting story..........a few weeks ago I went for my regular OB/GYN appointment. As my doctor and I were chatting, the subject of me decorating cookies for mission work came up. She was very interested in the idea of ordering cookies for her birthing parents when they have the baby. Within a few days and several emails, we established a weekly arrangement of cookies boxes for her to share with her birthing parents. 

I started off by making minis like I'd done for Easter and spring. That's 2 minis of each of 8 designs. The first week I had to make 160 minis to make 10 boxes. Oh my! That was only the second time I had made mini cookie boxes.....and the first time was for pure fun. Suddenly I realized how much work minis were.....and that I wasn't charging enough for each box.

We've readjusted our arrangement since then to a bit larger cookies.....but only a few per box. 

Here's the first week's sets of mini- cookies.

and everyone together......


None of these cookies are hard......but doing 160 of them was much more time consuming then I thought it would be.

Always learning new lessons every day. ;)
