Hi, all! One reminder, and an announcement!

First, don't forget: I'll be live-chatting with interested Cookie Connection members on Sunday, January 15 at 10 am CT. The topic is site feedback and goal- and priority-setting for 2017. My chat room is now open to receive advance questions (if you can't make it); otherwise I hope to "see" you there for this very important planning session.

Second, that announcement - and it's a good one, folks! Our Rising Star Chat Series, which features relative newcomers to Cookie Connection, continues in February (February 4, 10 am CT, to be exact!) with a heart-to-heart with Aproned Artist, aka Samantha Yacovetta.

Samantha's precise and beautifully detailed work first caught my eye back on August 29, 2016 when she joined the site and made her inaugural post, entitled "One Last Summer Picnic":

From then on, her posts have gotten better and better. I mean, don't you just love her recent "Mid-Century-Inspired Woodland Christmas" set?!

In our chat, we'll go beyond Samantha's basic bio (below) and explore how she honed her skills, her design process, her short- and long-term cookie aspirations, and more!

head shotSamantha Yacovetta, the decorator behind Aproned Artist, began cookie decorating in 2013. While working at a local bakery, Samantha became captivated by cookie art when a customer requested princess-themed cookies. Attracted initially to the precision of cookie decorating, Samantha soon found that the limitless design opportunities turned it into her artistic passion. Samantha began regularly stocking the bakery case with decorated cookies and has since transitioned to running her own company, Aproned Artist, a cottage food operation. She enjoys the challenge and inspiration of creating designs that feel personal and unique to each customer. Samantha lives in San Jose, California, USA.
