Project 1: Cowboy Cookies

I thought it would be fun to embark on what's called a Project 52 this year.  One project a week to keep me crafting.

I think it's extremely important to create.  Some religions consider the act of creation a prayer, or communion with God.  It's a way to get your mind to stop spinning and listen to something higher and quieter.  To be a blank canvas for new ideas to spring forth.  Unfortunately it's easy to put this on the back burner in our hectic lives, and sometimes I actually forget to create.  So while I'm not the best at setting goals or actually finishing things, I'm going to give this a shot!

So here's Project 1.  Cowboy cookies!

I've recently been inspired to start decorating cookies, and have been particularly inspired by The Sweet Adventures of SugarBelle, a great blog about, what else, cookies.  I've found a number of amazing blogs out there, and use the University of Cookie to learn all kinds of new things.

In progress...

The full set.
