Brush Embroidery Cookies

Today I tried my hand at brush embroidery cookies.

I was so excited to try this technique.

Unfortunately, nothing went right with them from the very beginning.

Every step of the way, something went wrong.

I thought for sure these cookies would only be seen

by the immediate family.

In the end, I think this technique hid a multitude of sins

and didn't turn out to badly.

I will try it again in the near future.

Next time I am sure they will turn out better now that I

have had some practice.

 

Until next time, 

Happy National Popcorn Day!

What!?

You didn't know it was National Popcorn Day?

Do you live in a cave?

I thought everyone knew that January 19th was National Popcorn Day.

Okay, I didn't know today was National Popcorn Day either

until I did some digging.

I suppose an explanation is in order so here goes!

I have this friend, Tammy, (she's weird but a friend none the less) that

came into work last Friday (Jan. 13th) and announced

that she was so excited that it was Adverb Day.

What? Are you kidding me! A day just for adverbs!

Well, I figured I will show her I can be just as weird as she is.

Because of the way our days off fall during the week, I haven't

seen her since "Adverb Day" and today will be the first

day we work together again.

I did some research and although I couldn't find anything as unusual

as Adverb Day, I did find that January 19 is

National Popcorn Day.

I have asked everyone at work to wish her a

"Happy National Popcorn Day" when they cross paths.

I also made this little bouquet and filled it with some royal icing

popcorn cookies I made, some microwave popcorn,

some yellow crinkle paper and some balloons on sticks

to commemorate the occasion.

The cookies were made quickly so they are not my best work

but I think they still turned out cute.

So, Tammy, HAPPY NATIONAL POPCORN DAY!

Hope it's a great one!

Until next time,
