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!

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...

Thanks for stopping by,

Lizy B
