Helloooo!

Sound like an echo? Well it is! Jeez I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted because so much has happened. I need to find balance between all the stuff I'm trying to do and post to FB plus blog, plus everything else.

"Life expands or contracts according to one's courage." Anis Nin. This quote has helped make me brave enough to jump and open MoonLight Cookie Art store on Etsy.
Every year after baking dozens of holiday cookies, thank you cookies, birthday cookie gifts my mom would mention a cookie store or something and I have been making these cookies since the 80's.

More next time with more pics as I knuckle down to Just Do It.  Meanwhile... The new cookie venture has consumed most of my time for the last 2 months and I have barely painted or mosaiced as I work to get it off and running.

MoonLight Cookie Art

Quick post here to show my little flyer. I am working on the official site which will be the .com site that will be moonlightcookieart.com. I will add the word art because the moonlightcookies.com title was already taken and cookie art best describes what I do. So it all worked out for the best.
I just have to get some software. My illustrator died - for some reason it will not launch or reload. So I am forced to look on Craigslist for a used version. I will get an older version of CS Design Suite. The new CS5 Adobe Design Suite is around 1600.00 - no can do. So I will ask for advice from a couple of designers and probably get a CS2 version someone is selling on Craigslist.
Can make awkward things on Word, but it will only save in PDF versions with text. Really clunky.
And since blogger will only load jpeg. this is the flyer version with No Words. The PDF version will not load on this site!

Opening Night

Tonight I have officially opened my online MoonLight Cookies Etsy store.

No fan fare, no corks popping.
 Just me and Risa, my sweet companion. There are certainly a few things I still need to work on to get my store to link to my blog nicely and although I like Etsy, I might go for my own separate site where I have my name and a .com. 

Meanwhile, my cookies are out in cyber space and I love that! 

Oh, I like the way my green lion turned out! He is adorable and so are the dogs. Purchased some new baking sheets and a nice cooling rack and shared some cookies with a neighbor across the street who already ordered 2 for their grand kids. Meanwhile I am fading fast here so Yippee and hooray to me! I can't wait to post on FB tomorrow :~)
