Wow, I am really amazed by your cookies! I love making sugar cookies (I think i might today since we are having some rare rainy days in San Diego)but I am not as great with the details of decorating something specific.

ReplyDeleteYour cookies are always amazing Susan but I must say you find the most adorable ribbons to compliment them. You really have a talent for putting together the whole package. By the way...just looking at these photos is making me want one. Any chance that you could mail one my way? :)
ReplyDeleteSusan, Thank you for this. What a treat. The red/white/and blue cookies are amazing.... the swirls! Will enjoy your blog! Best, Matilda
