an all new decorated cookie...and painted marshmallow

Some day I'll fancy up this blog and get some real software like Photoshop and maybe even actually hire a graphic designer or someone with at least a semblance of programming knowledge. But in the meantime, I used the blogspot features, my lacking computer awareness, my limited skills with Paint and Publisher, my scanner and some pen and paper to update the decorated cookie. And I'm still fiddling with the header. Of course, I tend to get bored easily with the style of this blog, so don't expect these changes to be permanent.

I almost changed the name to "the decorated cookie and the painted marshmallow" as I'm so into my semi-new brainchild (and hence, the picture above, the meeting of cookie and marshmallow). But alas, way too long. Instead, make sure to notice the link on the right to my collection of marshmallow ideas.

Features to note:

• the appliances on the right lead you to my book, my shop, and my column at craft gossip
• click the Help button to ask me cookie decorating questions
• the "decorated cookies" button leads you to most of the decorated cookie how-tos posted on this blog, all in one handy place (and updated as I add more to the blog)
• the same goes for the "marshmallows" button... all the ideas collected in one place
