We've got yoga cookies : )

One of my friends is doing a promo for a yoga mat company, so she asked for some yoga cookies as a give-away prize.  At first I wasn't sure how to go about the task... then, a google image search for "yoga figures" came to my rescue.  I will be forever surprised at just how many different people have provided yoga stick figure drawings for the general public's viewing.  And thank goodness for that.

I chose a tulip cookie cutter because it is an interesting shape and it resembles the lotus flower, which is commonly associated with yoga stuff.  I love how the green looks on the purple background--so cute!

 I am a little concerned that the upside-down tulip looks like a ghost.  I will probably just do right-side-up tulips when someone actually wins a batch of these cookies.

 I think the stick figure cookies have a retro, 80's work-out videotape type feel.  Especially the pink ones.  But don't get me wrong, I still like them.

Namaste readers :)

Baby girl cookies

I have two cousins on my mother's side who got married last summer.  Because I am in medical school, I wasn't able to attend either wedding... So sad!

Well, as it turns out, they each got pregnant shortly after their weddings.  They both had girls!  I thought it only appropriate to do a tribute on my blog to my new second cousins ;)

Welcome to the world, babies!

St. Patrick's Day

My mother ordered some St. Patrick's cookies...  Since this will be a project that I can personally deliver (rather than ship), I thought I would try my hand at cookies-on-a-stick.

The cookie bag looks so cute!  I used florist's foam in the bottom of the gift bag, then put the cookie sticks in the foam.  Then, I added yellow easter grass to the bag to fill it up.  I put extra cookies (not on sticks) on top of the grass.  Last, I put tissue paper in the background (into the bag) to make it look like a present.  Looks adorable, if you ask me ;)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
