Hello Sweet Ladies,

I want to thank you again for all the fun emails. I have not been able to answer all of them........but I will try to do so! I do enjoy it when I am at work and I get to read the comments you leave during the day................ it makes the day go so much faster! Sooooooo now with the news!

Create and Decorate Magazine and I have a surprise for you!

Some time back I entered a cookie contest with a really neat magazine called Create and Decorate. I have enjoyed this magazine for some time and thought it would be fun try the contest. Thursday after work I received a priority envelope in the mail..........yipeeeee! I was so excited...... now you should see the envelope....... not looking good.......can't use the flat Rate Mailing Envelope ever again!!! Anyway I knew I was going to get the magazines.......just not this fast. Inside was........a surprise. They told me I had placed just not where.

Do you see my name.......Linda Stubbs, Kansas.............IN THEIR MAGAZINE!!!!!!! I placedsecond! It was so fun................ just to be in their magazine!

Here is my little man............I love HIM!

I had so much fun designing this special cookie and I will use it a lot as a special gift during the holidays to give out. I will place him in a cellophane bag and tie a ribbon and it will be a gift! I named the little cookie a HOMEspun Snowman Cookie (click here for recipe)

The art work at the top is what I used for the snowman. I designed him for a fabric line some time back..............for the cookie I added to him a hat to go on his head with some berries and holly leaves,scarf, nose and buttons using Wiltons Pure White Rolled Fondant and using Wilton Icing Colors to color the fondant. Real fun and easy!

You will love this magazine if you like crafts and recipes............go to the store or buy a subscription for the magazine. Click here.
