halloween cookies

When we were children, we loved to Trick or Treat on Halloween... we spent weekends at my grandparent's house, and that night we dressed up and gathered with cousins and friends and sang "Halloween is coming!", "Hooray for Halloween!" and mexican composer, Cri-Cri, song "Las Brujas"...

In Cancun, we took our children to Poktapok, a development with golf course, to Trick or Treat... but they never sang... then we went to TGI Friday's Halloween party for dinner... they seldom ate, as they've munched zillions of candy and treats...

Now that they are older, they go to Halloween parties but still love to dress-up... And we wait for children to come and knock at our door, singing or screaming Trick or Treat!!!

fall is here!

I love to see how seasons change the weather, nature and activities in many places...

In Cancun we can't see leaves turn from green to yellow-orange-brown colors, and the weather is pretty much the same year round...

My children say they would love to live in a place where landscapes change according to seasons... they enjoy summer activities every weekend yet sometimes wish the days get cool... or really cold so the girls would get to wear Ugg boots!

Last year, I fell in love with Bridget's COOKIES, so when F. ordered Fall Leaves for her birthday, I knew I had the chance to try them...

bridal shower tea

Last week I traveled to Mexico City to do some shopping... while there, I attended my future sister in law's bridal shower... the theme was Tea Party, and my brother told me that Annie's favorite color "right now" is orange... so I made this Orange/White Tea Tile COOKIES for her...

MyAunt P. and I had a great time at Annie's niece home... her loving family made delicious food and desserts... they each brought a tea set, and displayed a beautiful buffet with a huge teacup centerpiece with tiny roses... her nieces played tea with a mini set and we all spent a beautiful afternoon together...

baby bunny cookie bouquet

I made this COOKIE Bouquet for S's family and friends... they came to Cancun and had a Baby Shower for S's SIL or someone else... sorry, I can't remember :)

I took the photos, and while looking at them I realized the base back was facing front... fortunately, I had time to turn it ;)


They chose Bunnies for the invitations and decoration of their Villa... I made white Bunnies with pink borders and pink Bunnies with white borders... I used white non-pareils to make their pompom tails look like cotton...

S. told me they put the jumping Bunnies COOKIE Bouquet on the gift table, and that everyone loved the orange flavored Bunnies!

baby cookie tiles

Last week I tried my hand with this COOKIE idea I've found all over the web... I made some for Christmas, and started calling them COOKIE Tiles because, as you know, mexicans loooove tiles...

My cousin's cousin was having her baby, so I thought they would be a great gift for the hospital... I was invited to her Baby Shower, but she never felt she should call and inform me she was at the hospital and hasn't called yet... "funny" don't you think?... I gave the COOKIES to someone else...

I don't think I was very happy with the result, loved the colors, and the images... hope they turn out better next time, don't know if I have to use a smaller tip or what... the best part is that we can ice COOKIE Tiles with whatever theme we choose...

You can get ideas from clipart, invitations, coloring books... I copied the images from a Baby Shower napkin I was saving...
