October Birthdays

Kerry ordered the cowgirl cookies for her granddaughter's 2nd birthday. And as Kerry put it, this is Charlotte's life through cookies (we made her mom's baby shower cookies two years ago). I can't wait to make cookie favors for her wedding in about 20 years!!!

Anita ordered the other set for her husband's birthday that falls on Halloween. I made the cupcakes and balloons in Halloween colors, instead of just a bouquet of bats, pumpkins and ghosts (stay tuned though, they are coming).

Thanks to both of you for your donations.
