Twilight Cookies

Hi....my name is Elizabeth....
and I love the Twilight Books.
So I thought I'd make a few Twilight Cookies!

I know....they're not exactly classic literature.
But I'm a sucker for a 'good girl saves edgy bad boy with great hair' love story.

For three and a half books, and four movies,

 we waited with baited breath for the moment Bella became a vampire.

...And right at the last moment of movie number 4....

...there they were.

Bella's bright red vampire eyes.
And then the movie was over!



ACK!
Just like that!
So not fair.

But now the Breaking Dawn Part 2 is here!!!

Just a few more days.....

We get to see Renesmee!

Not quite sure how I'll feel about Jacob and this whole imprinting deal.

I'm hoping he'll just seem like the world's best nanny.

Mostly, I'm looking forward to Bella not being a clumsy mess.
She'll finally get to stand up for herself.

Finally.






I won't be there at midnight, or the first weekend...

but as soon as those kids are in school monday morning....
I'm there!
(popcorn is a perfectly respectable breakfast, right?)



See you at the movies!

Bat Cookies for Halloween!

I've been told by a very reliable source that I have a huge and loyal following among eight and nine year old girls in Virginia.  

I thought I'd do a little series of Halloween jokes just for them!

Why do vampires need mouthwash?

Because they have Bat-Breath!

(Hi Kaylin!!!)

You can see some more creep-tastic bat cookies HERE!

Those Witchy Shoes! Halloween cookies...Take Two!

As I go through this 'bloggy makeover', obsessing, agonizing, torturing myself, 

thoughtfully choosing color schemes and fonts, 

I'm procrastinating by also re-editing photos and doing a little much needed site maintenance.  

Ahem.

And....quite a few of these posts were written 

before I was on facebook and still only had three readers.  So I'll be reposting here and there with bigger, hopefully better, pictures (without those dreaded black corners!).  

Don't fret...there are TONS of new Halloween cookies on their way.  

Just know, when you see one of these, there is some blog design decision I just can't make and this seemed more productive then banging my head on the wall.

Enjoy.

Halloween Shoes!

I never quite understood why witches wear all black.

I mean, I get the whole 'menacing, scary old witch, swooping down on a broomstick with a high-pitched cackle' thing.  Clearly, while doing that particular job, the plain, black outfit is appropriate.

But, c'mon.  

If you were the type of person (would a witch be a person?) that could brew potions, had magic mirrors and turn princes into frogs....don't you think you'd show a little imagination in your fashion choices?

So after I thought about that for a bit....

What if you were a teenage witch!

...and you conjured up some fabulous new shoes!!!!!

And you couldn't wait to go to school and show your friends!

But then......

That girl....the one that likes the same boy you like....

conjured up shoes just like yours!!!!

*GASP*

And she got to school first!  

She was showing off her shoes before you could even get to the door!!!!!

So, you pull out your wand and aim it at her!

(now she's scared, you'll show her)

Oh no!  Someone heard you....here they come!

It's your teacher!!!!

Uh-oh, she's mad!

She's running!

Whew!  You put away your wand just in time.  She'll never know what happened...

Besides, purple roses are way cooler than orange...

Pizza Cookies for Jack's Surprise Party!

A few weeks before Jack's 6th birthday, 

he caught me looking at Sweet Sugarbelle's pizza cookie tutorial.

(You can find it HERE)

It stopped Jack in his tracks as he rushed by the computer.

"Whoa Mom!  Those are the coolest cookies ever!!!!

Are you going to make those?!"

Right at that moment a little light bulb turned on over my head.

Surprise party.....Jack....PIZZA COOKIES!!!!!

"Yeah Jack, someone just asked for pizza cookie favors.

I'll make them in a few weeks."

he-he-he

I love surprises.

Why a surprise party?

Jack has a summer birthday, late August.  

So, while it is easier to track down his friends through email and evites,

 you never know who is out of town and able to come.

I figured this way, 

if it turned out that not a single one of his friends could come....

no broken heart.

What...you don't quite believe that?

Okay, fine.  

Maybe that was only 50 percent of the reason.

I knew, without a doubt, if I had to hear thirty days of,

"Is it my party yet?"

"Is my party today?"

"Will Ryan be there?"

"Will Paige be there?"

"How many tokens do we get?"

"Will there be pizza?"

"Are Grandma and Grandpa coming?"

"Can I have soda?"

"Can I invite Riley?"

(the 15 year old neighbor)

"Can I invite Adena?"

(she cuts Jack's hair)

"Can I invite the mailman?"

I might strangle the giant mouse when we finally showed up at Chuck E. Cheese.

It's not cool to attack the giant mouse.

It's just not.

I told him he needed to come with me to deliver the cookies.

I had to show him the balloon with his name on it 

before he actually believed the party was for him.

He was shocked.

Way beyond surprised.

We took pictures with all his friends when they started arriving.

He was more and more excited as each one came through the door.

They all talked strategy before he headed into the magic ticket booth.

At the end of the party, he stood in front of the prize counter 

with his little tickets and kept repeating....

"I just can't believe I'm doing this...

this is awesome."

Score one for the Mommy.

Happy Birthday Jack Jack.

You make our hearts smile, 

every

single

day.

The One With The Scar....More Harry Potter Cookies

This is absolutely, hands-down, my favorite Harry Potter Inspired Design.

I can say that because I didn't come up with it.

When I asked Erin (of TheWanderingReader.com) if I could use her 

Mischief Managed design,

not only did she say yes....

She asked,  "Are there any other designs you'd like to use?"

Um.....yeah!

(I tried to keep it to a couple, but it wasn't easy)

This bookmark was the first item I spied.

Harry Potter Inspired Scar and Glasses Bookmark

...is there a 'cookiefy' spell?

Love.

Then I saw the Expecto Patronum bookmark!!!

Harry Potter Inspired 'Expecto Patronum' Bookmark

I knew it would be the perfect cookie to paint.

I try not to play cookie favorites....but....

Sometimes you can't help it.

It's like a perfect little Harry Potter cookie family!

Now, remember all these cookies were for Hannah.

Hannah, like almost every other girl around her age who loves to read,

also loves the Twilight books.

I'll admit it, I've read them and loved them too.

Edward is certainly swoon-worthy,

but he's no Harry.

I'll take a magic wand over eternal youth any day.

'Vampires vs. Wizards' Bookmark

 Pretty much says it all.

I told Erin the whole long, sordid story of why I was making all these cookies. 

(I figured she'd appreciate a Harry Potter cookie party since she loves books so much.)

Know what she said?

Any guesses?

She said.....

"Would you like me to come up with some party printables 

that you could use for your party?

Maybe you could share them with your readers afterward, 

do you think they would like that?"

YES!!!!!
