More Story Board Fun

Andy woke up at 4:00 this morning and then Suzy at 4:30. Uugh. Since I really couldn't go back to sleep at that point, I decided to have some more fun with my new story board skills in Photoshop. Suzy's teachers asked me for the recipe for the cookies I made this year, so I thought I'd make some fun cards to share the recipe. I'll be including these in the family Christmas cards this year as well. (I finally ordered the pictures, maybe I'll get the letter done today... high hopes).

My Grandma's cookies are the BEST!! The two things I think of when I think of her is her claim to fame as Miss Indiana 1940 and her COOKIES! I love her hand-written touch on this one.


The way she ices them is AMAZING. She uses a toothpick and it takes FOREVER to do these. It is truly a huge labor of love. I love that Suzy gets to do it with her. This year, my Aunt Barb was kind enough to have some pre-baked for us to ice with Grandma on our visit to Indiana this year.


I hope you enjoy! p.s. If you copy this recipe, please don't bring them to the same gathering I will be at. This is my "secret weapon" for pitch ins. ;) Besides, if you make them once, I promise you are likely to only save them for special occasions like I do. ;P
