Every once in awhile I sit back and marvel at what my life has become. Just a few short years ago I was busy bustling away as a professional woman…dealing with rush hour traffic, cranky customers, lazy co-workers and trying to find time to “find myself”. Fast forward and here I am a completely different woman…well on the outside at least 
I’m now a stay at home Mom with two beautiful little girls and a passion for cookies. While the two lives sound vastly different, they really have many many similarities. While I used to work in a zoo…I now draw zoo characters for my almost 2 year old to test her “Mooooo’ing” abilities 
I wouldn’t trade it for the world!!
One of the blogs I stalk, LilaLoa, announced they were having a cookie design contest. I immediately saw my zoo animals and thought “Hey, why not!”. The design contest required that all entries use a certain cookie cutter (which I didn’t have so I used a homemade stencil) and the more creative the better. [Here are the official rules]
What started out like this (pay no attention to my daughter’s scribbles hehe):
Was mixed with 9 different colors of icing:
And turned into this:

Do it!! I’m sure your design will look fantastic!! If nothing else it’s great practice. I learned don’t swirl the icing too much or it’ll crack when it’s drying…poor little froggy
