Valentines day 2011

Finally it is the day after! LOL, it wasn't that bad, had a few orders for Valentines things with a baby shower thrown in there too.
Here are some pics of orders...

I had an absolute blast making these, I pretty much had creative license! I also received the sweetest email from the customer and his wife after Valentines day thanking me for them.

This was another customers order that also had some mini conversation hearts and  glitter heart teddy, for some reason I didnt save the Pictures to my computer and I have been having a bugger of a time trying to get te images off Facebook! no idea whats going on there, so there will have to be a catch up post at some later date! Sorry!

Valentines themes and ideas

My whole idea with going into this biscuit thing was to be able to make and create exactly what YOU want, custom cookie creations per se, BUT this seems to be kinda difficult.
It usually involves endless amounts of to and fro in email form which i'm sure is tiresome and just ANNOYING to me everyone involved.
I have been doing my usual trawling of all the US cookie blogs, they have some great ideas with packs made up ready to order as standard. I am thinking this may be the way to go? I have been playing around with an email order form site, trying to see if I can customise it, in a way that would work for me and the customer, just to simplify things a it.... ahhh, it all takes time.

Anyway, here are some more Valentines things I have been playing with.

lingerie hearts...cute huh?

Hugs and Kisses...

and there is more too...still to come...

Don't forget to enter the Vday comp, here, to win $25 worth of Valentines biscuits.

Back to my original musings...What do YOU think? do you think the idea of offering a set pack of biscuits at a set price is a good one? like 6 or 12 (up to 24) biscuits in pack, one theme and 2-3 designs per pack?
please let me know..
Thanks!

Competition time!

I can't believe that January is almost behind us, already! Since becoming a mum, the years just seem to fly by with seeming haste, leaving me feeling rather dis oriented!

With Valentines day coming up, (and all the FB BS about having competitions, or not as the case may be!) I figured doing it on my blog would be a better way to play.

So in order to win yourself a $25 gift box of Valentines cookies, comment below and tell me about your first memory of Valentines day...

My first memory of Valentines day was when I was 12, I had a BF by the name of Stephen, (we held hands at the train station occasionally!) I met him in the entrance of the station, he had a gift for me, I was EMBARRASSED! LOL, I'm sure I went bright red as he handed it too me, I opened up the tiny box and found a silver necklace with one of those hearts inside that you break in two pieces and each gets one. I fumbled around with it, my hands shaking so badly, he took it off me and put one around my neck then put the other on himself, I think I mumbled "thanks" and ran off to my friends...Ungrateful little so and so, wasn't I ??  ah well, I dumped him 2 days later...young love eh? LOL

so here is some of what you could be getting

"Puppy love" set, of 6 biscuits/cookies.

Spell it out set

more to come...
Good luck, Competition will drawn at 8pm (adelaide time) on the 7th of February, using random.org to choose a comment. Only open to Australian residents (due to postal restrictions) I will also need you to leave your email address so I can contact you to arrange delivery, taa!
Happy reminiscing!
