My sister, Libby, is a Children's Education minister and she wanted to give her Bible class teachers cookies as an appreciation gift. I suggested five cutters and then I asked her just how many teachers are we talking about. She said . . . . . .
130 teachers!!!!!Okay, do the math . . . 5 x 130 = 650 cookies . . . give or take a dozen!
So that meant 11 dozen for each of the 5 cutters: boy, girl, book, heart-shape, and cross.
My friend, Denise, and I got the cookies baked. Then Libby, her daughter Gina, and Gina's friend Tim came on a Friday night and we got them all decorated by 5:30 am and then took a nap. We had the cookies bagged, tied, and in a sack by 2:30 pm.
I loved seeing the cookies all layed out on the tables. We pretty much did an assembly line for each design.
The book cutter made the Bible cookies. We added a red ribbon.
Here's what 55 dozen cookies look like in 15 paper sacks! The cookies made a special gift and the teachers were delighted to see them. This little cookie business has blessed lots of people and that's been my prayer all along.

It's funny what sisters will do for each other! (and occasionally "to" each other!!)All of your cookies are gorgeous! Your blog is making me hungry and wondering why I gave up sugar???? (Oh yeah, cuz i'm a glutton...*sigh*, Oh well, I can at least look, I don't think that adds any calories does it?)
