Letting what happens, happen...
I had a customer order some cookies for a jewelry party.  This is what she told me, "It's for my sister in laws jewelry party and there will be a lot of older women there.  I am not sure what they like."  So, I started looking around on Flickr at my fav cookie artists there.  I attempted to do a few intricate lacework patterns but that did not work out at all.  I said a few words that would make my Grangie blush, took a deep breath and let it flow.  These are the result.  I started working with cookies in October and I must say that I have greatly improved.  I can see the mistakes on them but overall I am pleased with them.  Let's just hope the customer is too!
