Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his 21st year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast?
The New Year is Coming!
We have been very busy baking, decorating, and packing about 88 dozen,(1,056) cookies in preporation for the CHRISTmas season. God has seen fit to let us keep ahead of the orders, making this a very smooth job so far. As we look to the new year, we would lime to suggestthis platter of cookies to help celebrate thhe new year. They come on the tray, ready to serve. Just remove the clear bag and your job is done. Contact us today if you need any other ideas!
The time has come.......
Well, it was bound to happen, we are closed for orders till after CHRISTmas. All our slots are full, and our hearts are happy. We are thankful to all who called upon us. We will continue to update with new and unique ideas. Don't forget, New Years is just around the corner. We will soon post some ideas for New Years as well. So, from our family to yours, Merry CHRISTmas!
Who's ready for some auctions?
So, here's the deal.... Our 15 year old son, Jacob, has been led by God to go on his first overseas mission trip. He will be spending 2 weeks in the Philippines building, teaching children, and installing sand filters to help with clean drinking water. This is an amazing opportunity for him, and we could not be more proud. As with any trip of this size, there are expenses. The trip is sponsored by Hands and Feet Ministries out of Waynesburg Pa. We will need to provide $3300 for airfare, housing, food, supplies, and to hire local labor to help. So we will be holding 4 auctions. One per week for the next 4 weeks. Each auction is for 1 dozen cookies a month for 12 month. So, 12 dozen cookies total. These can be any design within reason. Each auction will start on Thursday at 9am, and last till the following Wednesday at 9pm. The value of each of these auctions is $215.40. So we need the starting bid to be at least $200. The winning bid is tax-deductable. So details will be given on where to send your check, and who to make it out to. If you feel led to just provide a donation, please message us and we will provide you with details. Feel free to share this with anyone that may be interested. All bids can be listed on Facebook, or by e-mail if you don't have Facebook. The current top bid will be listed each evening. Thank you for continuing to help our family serve Him each day.
Still space available'
We just put our latest round of orders in the ipad, and there is still plenty of room. Please don't wait till the last minute. Nothing is worse to us than to have to say no to someone. But we only have so many hours in the day,( and the wee hours of the morning sometimes). We will let you know when we are closed. Thanks for considering our little company. Know that every job we do, is done with love. We love to see your faces when we deliver, and we love getting pictures with our cookies. So won't you share some with us. Thanks.
More than CHRISTmas?
Well, we are well underway with our CHRISTmas orders, but, don't forget about all those other special occasions. We had a great time doing these owl cookies. All those eyes....... Stairing at me.....starting to freak me out a little..........moving on........many people have birthdays near December 25th. Why not get them something non-CHrISTmas related. We have endless possibilities. Just contact us and ask. And don't forget those CHRISTmas orders. Spaces are filling in fast.
Making A List, Checking It Twice............
As the month begins, we are starting to get our listings together for each of you.... A dozen here, 5 dozen there' 4 trays ready to serve for CHRISTmas everywhere! We recently purchased ALOT of platters with good reason. So many people are so busy this time of year. Work, dinners, parties, sports with the kids. Many people would love to bake cookies for the holidays, but sadly have no time. We LOVE to help with these problems. Take one more item off your hands and let us make a beautiful, sweet treat for your next get together, or party. All you need to do is tell us what to put on it, and we will make it look sparkly! Orders have filled in fast for CHRISTmas in the past. Don't be........left out in the cold.....sorry, had to.......
