Thoughts before I sign off for a while...

As I wrap up my last couple of cookie projects up to begin my vacation, I am sad to say "no" to anyone who wants cookies.

I decided a couple of weeks ago to finish up any cookie obligations and take a long break from cookie decorating to Pursue my career in Ambit Energy. I want to help change lives in this very bleak economy This new journey will not be without hardship but I will be persistent and I will grow myself as well as my organization. It's a wonderful thing to know that the hard work I do today will continue to pay me and my family for as long as we own the business. I believe in Ambit and I know that we will be successful in helping our friends and family save and make money. No other company tells you to put God first, family second and Ambit 3rd. That in itself means so much to me.

Here are a few pictures to leave you with today...

Get Well Soon!

Yeah I'm not good at putting titles on my blog posts. My thought is that I should just type and if something jumps out at me then I'll put it as a Title. 

So this past week I made two rather large bouquet's. The first of the two was for a young man who plays baseball for UMHB.  He had surgery this last week. I hope to see him back out on the baseball field soon. 




The second of the two bouquets was for a young lady who is on the Equestrian Team at Baylor! She had surgery for a knee injury. I hope to see her back in the saddle again soon. 



I hope you guys are doing well this week. I myself just had a procedure yesterday so I'm trying to recover too. Bless you guys and may both heal quickly! 

I have a Question for You...

So....I've been thinking. Yes I know, it's a dangerous thing for me. Can you smell the poor dead hamster?  I must have run him to death with all the thoughts going on in my mind. Yes, my mind is run on hamster wheel power. What? Not funny? 

Well, anyway, I've got a dilemma that I really need some input on. I have two options for my cookie classes. 

1. Cancel the ones I have and start new with a different plan of action beginning in July.  
2. Stay with the classes I have and just supply the tools as "use in class only" items. That way they don't have to spend anything other than on the ingredients. They would still need to bring the other supplies. 

I'm not sure about either option because I'm afraid that I will just give up and just cancel altogether. I'm not happy with how I've done these classes but it's a learning process. I just feel like I've left people out because tuition and all the supplies. People that have talked to me about it have said that they would do the class but the supplies cost more than they can justify spending on top of the tuition amount. 

I'd like to do a 4 week course (one night a week). Would that be worth $125? Plus the kit for like $10? If you make cookies at home you would still need to buy the ingredients, so why not learn how to make them look amazing right? What would you want to learn? What information would you need to know to make a decision on whether or not to take the class?

Bunnies...

Decided to make some bunnies for Easter! Here is the results of that decision. Got a few more coming but I'll post them later! :)

Mounds of Love!

I don't have any pictures to share with you from March's class but, I assure you, everyone had a blast! I ended up with 6 students and that was just fine! We had a blast! I showed them how to flood cookies so that they look smooth, feathering, and some neat tricks to get images on cookies without being an artist.

They all said they just wanted to impress their grand kids. I thought that was sweet! They very much enjoyed watching me demonstrate these things and I'd love to share some of their creations but, sadly, I didn't get pictures of them.

My next class will be on April 13th! I'm going to be showing how I bake these cookies to absolute perfection and create smooth and enticing cookies.

I've been busy the last few days and I'd love to share a couple of sets I made for a few friends.
