Does this look familiar? It’s my header (and all the elements) in cookie version, given to me by Arty McGoo~ Liz! Aren’t they AMAZING?!?
{The original artwork was done by CakeSpy~Jessie Olson. A couple of years ago I contacted CakeSpy about making me a custom piece of art to hang in my kitchen. I wanted it to feature my munchkins baking with me. At the time grandchild #5 was on the way, hence the cupcake in the oven:) I gave CakeSpy some particulars and I was so happy when the package arrived! I liked it so much, that I photograped it and have used it for my header ever since. It’s time to contact CakeSpy for a new one though because I now have 8 munchkins!}
I first heard of Arty McGoo when SugarBelle (Callye) linked to some of her cookies on facebook. What a great discovery! On her blog, I noticed that Arty McGoo lived only about an hour north of me:) A few weeks later we decided it would be fun to meet, so on Friday we met at Joann’s for a bit of shopping and then had lunch at Applebee’s.
Me and Liz (right)
We had such a pleasant lunch together. Liz is a darling girl, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her. We even shared a maple butter blondie for dessert and it was oh, so good! Liz is the first blogging buddy that I have met in person:) It was so fun that I think we should organize a California blogging-buddy get-together right here on the central coast! California is such a big (long) state, so it makes sense to meet in the middle. What do ya think?
Now back to the cookies…When Liz gifted me with these cookies, I was speechless(well, not really)! What a special, personalized gift! I know much thought, time, and talent were put into the making of these beautiful cookies. Such a sweet gift:) I can’t thank you enough, Liz!
Let’s take a closer look at the cookies…
Grandma and a munchkin
Liz made 8 hearts to represent my eight munchkins…each is beautiful and unique:).
Don’t you just love the cookie sheet!
Such cute cookies.
I especially love the mixer and refrigerator!
Look at the amazing detail! This cookie is 4.5-inches by 3.5-inches.
Liz paints the cookies with food coloring and brushes.
LOVE my cookies!
Arty McGoo, I thank you!
Stay tuned for a fun giveaway on Tuesday!
