CookieCrazie's Week in Review
_________________________________________________
Personal Side
First full week of June.....and crazy hot already.
This is not my favorite season.....but I know that's not the opinion of most people.
I WILL say.....I love sunny days. :)
It's just the heat that I'm not fond of...
It's been a successful week of cookies.
I made red velvet cookies with cream cheese-flavored glaze.
My son-in-law loves that flavor....so hopefully he will love the cookies I've created for him.
My other son-in-law also has a birthday right now, so I made him some baseball cookies.
My immediate family gets together this weekend....hurray!
I've been looking forward to this for weeks.
Let the celebrating begin...
This week's decorating was challenging on several fronts.
I attempted some difficult designs....and a few of them I had to lay aside.
My son saw my half attempts and wondered why I didn't complete them.
He told me I could have totally done it....and done it well (in his opinion).
But have you started a big project, bitten off more than you could chew (haha....EVERY time!),
and found that to relieve stress it was best to just get rid of the biggest stress-ers?
That's what I do.
Since every cookie for me is a fun adventure, why would I stress myself out over a design or two?
So......to keep my sanity, I just chunk the ones that are making me even more CRAZIE. haha
I can always try them some other time, right?
I also worked with my airbrush this week.
I planned on decorating a bunch of extra birthday cookies in white glaze
(for sharing with the entire family)
and then airbrushing them with color.
I had some issues.....but Ginny of Creative Cookier came to my rescue.
I got my airbrush working.....and found out that you're not supposed
to clean the airbrush between each color.....especially not with alcohol! haha
So I'm learning...
I haven't picked out the cookie designs for next week,
but I'm leaning toward something with mixed-media.

I love
Sugar Pearls Cakes and Bakes work and am anxious to continue to experiment. :)
No hospital work this weekend.....just time with family.
Awwww.......... :)
