Hi again! This morning my friend, Amanda, and I were able to finish our cookies from yesterday. My two-year-old almost thwarted our plan with a runny nose, but we pushed on. Modern-day pioneers, huh? :)
After outlining and "flooding" the cookies yesterday, the royal frosting had finished drying completely overnight and was ready for a little more detail. If you didn't read Part 1 from yesterday, here's a link. We used the same piping bag of frosting to add the veins on the cookies today. This part went really fast, though maybe I should have slowed down a little. :)
I thought this was such a fun activity to learn, that it made me a little sad that I hadn't tried it earlier. One of the many reasons I'm grateful for this blog, is that it forces me to be creative and to try new things. We've had this blog up for a little over 6 months now, and just reached 15,000 views today! That definitely deserves a giveaway to show our gratitude to all our friends, and new friends that take the time to see what we're up to. So here's the question for today's giveaway:
What is something creative that you would love to try/learn, but have been too scared to actually do?
If you answer that question before Monday morning, you could win a mini-starter kit to decorate your own cookies. This kit will include:
Meringue powder (frosting recipe is on Part 1)
Disposable frosting bags
2-Tips
Gel food coloring
Thanks for sharing in this new venture. And a HUGE "thank you!" to my friend, Amanda, for teaching me. I can't wait to try decorating cookies again. Now I challenge you all to go out and try something new. Have a great day!

Something I have been wanting to do would be to make a headboard for our bed. I have seen so many ideas - but it freaks me out to go and buy all the materials and then fail miserably...
ReplyDeleteTwo things for me . . . cookies just like this - which I WILL try - soon. And doing a family picture wall, mostly because my husband doesn't like holes in the wall, but he's up for it and so am I. We just need to get on it.
ReplyDeletepainting.
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn how to knit. And how to sew. Hopefully someday!
ReplyDeleteHow to work my Costco sewing machines. My girls have quilts to finish! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou Tube... that's how I learned. :)
DeleteSewing. When my grandma died I got her sewing machine but I'm terrified I'll break it so I've never used it. my mom even gave it to my cousin because she knows I don't sew. Then I threw a fit about giving away my heirloom so she got it back for my spoiled butt and now it just sits and collects dust while I avoid looking at it so I don't feel so guilty. wow I feel a little better for finally confessing.
ReplyDeleteWow... that's quite the dillemma! :) You can do it, hermana!!

I would love to learn how to knit scarves and hats :-)
ReplyDeleteMe too!!
DeleteI would love to learn a fun craft I could do with Emily. (I don't care what it is as long as this uncrafty mom could do it with her 11 year old!) Winter is here and we will be spending a lot of time trapped inside on cold days.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn how to reupholster chairs :)
ReplyDeleteYou did it! I would like to learn these cookies, as well as quilting ( like I mentioned on your fb stocking picture). Someday.....when I don't have busy young children :).
ReplyDeleteI wild live to learn how to refinish furniture butnI am too scared that I will ruin the piece of furniture during the process. I have seen so many cute second hand pieces redone...
ReplyDeleteOkay that was supposed to be "would love" not wild live... Love auto correct
DeleteI have a fun chair/desk that I bought at a garage sale 3 years ago. It has a lot of potential but needs a lot of refinishing. I've been wanting to refinished it but haven't gotten around to figuring it out.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, to Cherilyn Halls for winning the cookie decorating kit! Thanks for all your comments!
