Just in time for Christmas...Giveaway!!!

One of my favorite cookie ladies wrote a book this year!
Lisa Snyder!!!  The Bearfoot Baker!!!  Yay!!!!

And....she's giving away a signed copy to one of my readers!

How awesome is that!

I love this book and I know you will too!

Lisa is my 'go-to' lady when I have airbrushing questions, or cutie pie animal face questions, or royal icing transfer questions....or just about any other cookie question really.

Not only does she always have a great answer, but she happens to be lovely and sweet and kind. 

I don't know anyone else who would go so far as to 

make a sleeping bag to keep her cookie animals warm!

SSSSHHHH!!!!

Don't wake up the bear!!!

Okie Dokie, here's the Rafflecopter!

You know what to do!

Good Luck,

Raffle will be over on Saturday!

Noodlehug Tea Towel Giveaway!!!

I have been waiting, and waiting and WAITING for this day!!!!

I get to giveaway one of my new favorite things!

To one of YOU!!!

Do you remember a while ago when I listed some fabulous  Etsy finds that your kitchen diva would love?
Well, a few of my favorite prints from NOODLEHUG were on that list, as well as a few tea towels from some other shops.
So...then I obsessed  was thinking that I would really love a tea towel with my  favorite Noodlehug prints....and I emailed them.
I couldn't help it.
I might have even emailed them twice.
and then...dun dun duuun....
They did it!!!!!

Oh my stinkin' heck how cute is that!!!!

I know what you're thinking...

How am I ever going to pick one?

That's where the genius of Noodlehug comes in...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO!!!!!

All the prints on one towel!
You just wake up in the morning, have your coffee, decide what kind of day it's going to be,  and voila!
Fold that towel!!!

Take A Peek Tuesday! Cookie Cutter Giveaway!

The cookie cutters I use most often,  are kept in a drawer right where I roll and cut my cookie dough.

Notice anything?
Yup, all sets of basic geometric shapes.
(well...except for those weird twig shaped cutters.  Those are just there because I was being lazy and haven't put them away yet)
I recommend these sets all the time, they're so versatile!
The only downfall to these sets?
They can be a bit pricey...
So when I found them at Wal-Mart for only $2.88 each,  I did what any conscientious blogger would do....
I Instagrammed!

...and caused a bit of a swarm.
Not sure why, but apparently these have been hard to find.


A lot of friends asked where they can be found once you are in the store.

In my neighborhood, they were in the seasonal Easter baking aisle, middle shelf under the Wilton Sprinkles.
I went back to buy some for my cookie friends that couldn't find them, and ended up with an extra set of each.
Hmmmmm, what to do, what to do?
I know, I'll give them both to one of you!!!
Giveaway time!

Jack's 'I Love You' Cookies

"Jack!  I made something just for you!  Come look"
"Mom, I thought you were doing cookies?   I don't like icing, remember?"
"Of course I remember....I'm your mom."

"...you put the pink in the cookie...not in the icing?!"
"I did, just for you, so that you could still have a fancy cookie, but without the icky icing. They even have words,  can you read them to me?"
"I....Love...You. They say I love you!!!! How did you do that?"

"I used this little stampy thingy I had. Do you like them?"

"That's the bestest thing you could have ever given me."

"They even taste like love!"
"I'm so glad you like them little man.  I love you lots."


"Mom.....can I have another one?"
(and that's all the thank you a mom ever really needs.)

Witch Hat Cookies!

I received the following letter yesterday....




Dear Ms. Lizy B,
While we appreciate your concern for the lack of imagination shown in our wardrobes, your recent shoe designs have created quite an alarming trend.
Our teenagers are now refusing to wear their hats,  stating that they are unfashionable and stifle their creativity.  
This is completely unacceptable.
Unless you create a solution to this matter,  we will be forced to visit and 'inspire' you in person.  
We thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Madame Jainie Grey Chairman of the Board of Magical Education



Um.
Yes Ma'am.

If you happen to win the giveaway...and make witch shoes...

Please don't forget a hat.

Good Luck!  Winner will be announced Wednesday!

Halloween Cookie Cutter Giveaway!

*giveaway at the bottom!*
After I reposted those witch shoe cookies, I had a record number of emails asking me,

"Where ever did you find that Witchy Shoe Cutter??"

Uh....hmmmm.
That would be a good thing to know wouldn't it?




Well, I was out and about today, and there it was!!

Yay!!!
It was just sitting on the shelf, minding its own business, when some crazy lady (me) started clapping her hands and jumping up and down.


...and then, do you remember those spider sprinkles?

I found those too!

Oh my word!



Because I have an addiction to stickers.. I threw some of those in, why not?

All for you!
Yup!  
Now you can make your very own witchy shoes!!!


*giveaway open to all U.S. readers* *not in any way sponsored by Martha or Wilton*

BOO, Spiderweb Cookies and a Silpat Giveaway!

All of my cookies have a few things in common.

 
1. I always use the same sugar cookie recipe. (and it's pretty yummy, if I do say so myself)

2.  They are always made with smiles. You can't be grumpy and make cute cookies.
It doesn't work (I've tried).

3.  I always, always, always use my silpats.
Always.

I know what you're thinking, 
"She can't ALWAYS use a silpat.   This lady bakes a lot of cookies. Always, really?"


Yes, I have 8. I may have an addiction.


Nothing sticks. Nothing burns. Super easy to clean. They last forever.
Love 'em.

Silpat is giving away a medium baking mat to a Online BlogCon Attendee!!!

Woo-Hoo!

It will change your life, seriously.
Giveaway is open to U.S. residents only and will run through October 21. The winner will be announced during Online BlogCon.
