shamrock cookies and a giveaway

    






I made these little shamrock cookies last year



and I am sure I will be making some again this year,
but I really wanted a 
large shamrock cookie cutter
and I especially like the three leaf Wilton cutter
but was unable to find it.
I began looking this year and couldn't find it either
I apparently wasn't the only one looking for it
While I was reading Janet's blog post here I realized she was having the same problem.
I had already had gone to two stores searching for it and the following day was going to the third store I hoped to find it...
but I didn't 
so I went online and ordered one.

Well I didn't just order one
 of course I would love for Janet to have one, so I sent one to her and on the day she received my box, you won't believe what I received from her..well lets just say it felt like Christmas morning as a kid..she is so thoughtful and I'm so glad we met, well met via blog.


I also recall seeing on Amanda's blog post here she had recently cut out shamrocks cookies by hand....
I'm still in aw at her work
so I ordered plenty for my blogging friends
 and was so glad that they didn't take long at all to arrive and I sent them right off to them
well I like to buy everything in bulk
so I bought an extra for 
one of 
you

hard to find

  4. What a great idea! Also love your new header - very pretty. Don't add my name to the give away - I was lucky enough to find the Wilton Shamrock at Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago. Just dropped in to see what you were up to - now I know!

  18. My kids saw the picture of your cookies and are begging to have some. What kind of food coloring do you use to get such great colors? I love fresh green grass in the spring.

  26. Okay, I'm green with envy but that's not my favorite green thing. Janet is my wonderful friend and she sent me here. I love everything green --- my favorite green things are my daughter's accent bedroom wall and my Thomasville green-checked dining chairs. Did I say I love green?
