CookieCrazie Classes at CookieCon 2018!

View fullsize

Excitement is in the air!

CookieCon 2018 registration begins next Wednesday, March 14 @ 7 PM MDT on www.cookiecon.net.

I am happy to share with you that there will once again be CookieCrazie classes offered before CookieCon gets underway. 

This year they have streamlined the Add-On Workshops (formerly called Pre-CookieCon Classes) so that you sign up for them WITHIN the registration for the main CookieCon ticket. [In the past, these were done separately and with multiple pre-classes offered by nine different instructors, it was pretty chaotic.] 

This year there are TWENTY instructors doing Add-On Workshops....so there are TONS of hands-on workshops to choose from. You can read about all the add-on workshops HERE.

I'll be teaching a total of four classes. 

Wednesday September 12
Falling for Glaze - 8 AM to Noon
Falling for Glaze - 2 PM to 6 PM

Thursday September 13
Tis the Season for Glaze - 8 AM to Noon

CookieCrazie's Week in Review

_________________________________________________

Personal Side

I've been busy this week creating more and more and more new cookie designs for winter.

This week is was one of my favorite subjects, SNOWMEN. 

The fun never ends. :)

I had the privilege of sharing my extra CookieCon book with the winner of the giveaway, 

Misti Ring of RoyalR Confections.

Congratulations Misti! 

I wish I could send all of you that were unable to attend CookieCon a copy of the book..... : /

Hopefully, you're able to see enough pages from the book (with the artists sharing) 

that you get a good idea of what it is like.

I hope your autumn is going well and you are enjoying the season as much as I am.

♥♥♥

Instagram photos for this week:

A simple reminder......
I hope your Friday is filled with wonderful things.
#givethanks #thanksgiving

Yes, It's nearly cold enough to make these appear this morning.
#snow #snowflake #brrrr #winter

Happy Sunday! #acorn #pumpkin

And the WINNER is...... @misti_royalrconfections!
Congratulations!
I'll be contacting you via your FB page, so be looking for my message.
Thanks to everyone for your interest and support!

Here's the cookie scene I contributed to the #CookieCon2015 book
"If You Give a Cookie Decorator an Order".
I jumped on the chance to create CookieConnie at the grocery store
getting ingredients to make her cookies.

May your Tuesday be filled with sparkle and shine

A favorite random set of cookies done last fall, using Philippians 4:8,
"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

2015 PreCookieCon Classes

  

There was a new feature at this year's CookieCon.
Pre-CookieCon Specialty and Hands-On classes were offered on Wednesday and Thursday
before the actual event began.

I had the honor and privilege to teach classes on glaze and share lots of fun decorating techniques.

The first class was Glaze Cookie Decorating 101: Gratifying Glaze.
This four-hour hands-on class covered all the basics of using glaze.
Most of my students had never used glaze before,
so this allowed them the chance to decorate with it and learn all it's great properties.

The second class (offered both Wed afternoon and Thurs morning) was
Glaze Cookie Decorating 201: It's all in the Details.
This class covered the more advanced techniques I use, in particular adding texture.
We also made edible clay in class, discussed all it's uses, and added it to our class projects.

What a delightful time we had!
I was a bit nervous, as there was SO MUCH to think about
with doing hands on decorating far away from home.
Just getting all the supplies there and prepping beforehand in the hotel was quite a task.


Two of my students couldn't make it to class because of some severe extenuating circumstances.
So we did a little "make-up" class on Saturday morning
where I attempted to pour everything I could into both of them in a shorter amount of time.
It was fun to have all the one-on-one time.

Thankfully, I had two AMAZING ladies who helped me through the whole process.
We worked hard for about 48 hours straight (not quite enough sleep in there!).
There was lots to do from the moment we arrived at the hotel
until the classes were over on Thursday afternoon.
I could NOT have done it without Nancy Paine and Cristin Sohm.
(Thank you ladies again. I am blessed to have such generous friends!)

The Pre-CookieCon classes were such good experience and
I would do it again without a second thought.

In fact, I'm considering teaching more classes on my own.
If you're interested in helping me set up one in your area,
I need some assistance with a venue and a source of local help.
Email me if you are interested.

 CookieCon was amazing all by itself.....but to add these hands-on classes put the week over-the-top.

Thanks Karen and Mike for the opportunity to share and grow.
