CookieCrazie's Week in Review

_________________________________________________

Personal Side

Yeah.....I'm back to decorating cookies!

It's been more than a month since I've gotten to decorate cookies in my kitchen, 

and boy, does it feel great. 

I've missed being in my "happy place".

I'm starting to try out some of the new things I purchased at CookieCon,

plus try new techniques and inspiration gained there.

That's one of the coolest things about CookieCon......

what it spurs us on to do afterwards. :)

Be sure to check out the CookieCon book giveaway on Instagram.

The giveaway is open until Sunday Oct 18 midnight, CST.

CookieCon 2015 Book

CookieCon 2015 held lots of fun surprises.

One of them was the creation of this book about Cookie Connie entitled,

"If You Give a Cookie Decorator an Order".

Each of the twenty pages feature a scene full of cookies......created by a different cookie artist.

It is truly a one-of-a-kind book that brings a smile to the face.

The first "official reading" of the book was done at CookieCon 2015 on September 24, 2015.

After the opening ceremony, every participant was given a book.

I had the distinct privilege of designing a page in the book.

When I saw a chance to create a grocery store scene, I jumped at it. :)

The aisle cookies were huge.......around 10" tall at the longest point.

I joked about giving a thumb to Cookie Connie.....as she was thumb-less in the original photos.

But how in the world was she going to hold a grocery list without a thumb?! haha

I put so many ingredients in the grocery cart that you could hardly see the cart cookie itself.

Here's a photo with fewer ingredients so you can actually see a bit more of the cart.

There are so many wonderful pages in the book.

The details are FABULOUS!

..................................................................................................................

I have some good news and some bad news.

First....the bad news. (I always like to get it over with first.)

This book was only made for those who attended CookieCon 2015. It will not be offered for sale. :(

BUT..... the good news....

I have an extra copy that I'm giving away on the CookieCrazie Instagram page!
