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*

The FOUR Mummies...a family update

Please enjoy the following Halloween Cookie remix...

Mummy Family Update at the bottom!

Once upon a time, there were 4 mummies...

The first mummy was cheerful because he came through a 

very important birthday unscathed.

His wife didn't write about him on her blog

 (even though she loves him very much and this was extremely hard to do), 

he didn't have to eat cake or open presents.

It was probably one of his best birthdays ever.

The second mummy was cheerful because 

he got to go to the super cool car show with the other cheerful mummy 

and look at guy stuff like engines and wheels...

...and bring home RC cars...

He also has a really great new 5th grade teacher 

who gives a normal amount of homework.

This means the mummy has a social life again and no longer hates school!

Whew....

....and then there was the third mummy.

The third mummy was mad as heck because he had his 

tonsils and adenoids ripped out of his head.

This mummy decided life was miserable, 

and refused to eat or drink anything...

except diet coke.

No ice cream.

No popsicles.

Just diet coke.

He's really mad at his mom for letting this happen.

His eyes are crossed because 5 year old mummies get a little loopy when they have

 to take vicodin 4 times a day.

There should be a fourth mummy.

She's not here.

She might be hiding in the closet with the remainder of the vicodin 

until the whole thing blows over....

(someone let me know when its safe to come out...)

*update*

Grumpy mummy healed and is once again eating popsicles 

and has given up the hard stuff (diet coke).

Daddy mummy has had another successfully quiet birthday.

(love ya honey!)

Fifth grade Mummy is now Sixth grade mummy.

Looks like he'll have another great year that may or may not involve girls...

Mommy mummy....

Mommy mummy came out of the closet, 

but the vicodin is still in there in case of emergencies.

(please see above comment regarding Sixth grade mummy and girls)

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.
