Cookies for the Food Pantry

I am so happy to finally have a cookie picture to post.  The food pantry where I have been donating my cookies is currently going through a bunch of changes – personnel, needs assessments, etc. As part of their regrouping, they temporarily closed down the food distribution.  So, my 150 weekly cookies came to an abrupt stop!  They are starting again this week but only need 50 and only once a month.  I can’t believe what a difference the lower quantity makes!! It frees up so much time!

This week, I used a design completely inspired by   @iSugarfy (aka swissophie).  I did not use her entire design but it was definitely what I based the cookie on. Royal icing transfers were the key.  Here’s is a link to the template I used. https://www.isugarfy.com/suppo...adybugs-template.pdf

(I hope I did that link and credit correctly!)

The extra time has been an absolute necessity.  We had company for the first time in about a year and a half! It was delightful but I don’t know how I would have churned out all the cookies with a houseful of people.  Oh, and we also got two lab puppies a week ago.  Adorable but definitely cuts into my cookie time! I don’t know what I was thinking!

OMG, those puppies are so sweet! It sounds like it was a good thing for you that the order size came down?! I admire you keeping up the pace on this for so long!

Yes, it was a good thing the order came down.  It was rather abrupt, so it threw me at first.  Then as the past several weeks took shape, I have no idea what I would have done if 150 weekly cookies were added to the list.  I certainly wouldn't have enjoyed them as much! And even this week, when I only had to do 50, it really felt like a breeze.

Lovely thought and beautiful cookies Lisa @LisaF. Very adorable puppies.

Thank you dear Zeena.  The puppies are cute but they are A LOT of work!  These aren't are first puppies but it is easy to forget exactly how much work is involved.  So I guess we're all lucky their cute!!

I'm sure it's nice to have less cookies to make but wonderful that you can still contribute. Also, those pups look adorable. It's great that they have each other but I sense a little "double the trouble" in those eyes. 😬🐶🐶😅

Very true Christine.  Although lab puppy math is a bit different.  They aren't double the trouble they are 10 times the trouble.  Their names are Whiskey and Tango.  If you combine their initials with the initial of my last name, you get an acronym for a frequent thought. 😂

So sweet, Lisa!! The cookies and the puppies !! I love both! ❤️ @LisaF

thank you so much my friend.  I'm really thinking of you and your family.  Hugs from across the pond!❤️😘

Oh Lisa, I just love your ladybugs and flowers!!! What gorgeous cookies for the food pantry . Wow, that is quite a change going from 150 once to week to 50 once a month!! But with those 2 adorable puppies you'll keep plenty busy my dear friend @LisaF . You'll have some more time to play around with your cookie designs. LOL. 50 cookies is still a lot of cookies to make at one time

I just love ladybugs and what a  perfect design for using them!! Awesome work as always ❤️❤️❤️  Hugs...

Thank you so much dear Carol.  The puppies are adorable but they are growing sooo fast and are a ton of work.  Though this is far from my first set of puppies, I fear I may be getting too old for this!!❤️😘

Aww, your  🐞 🐞 are sooo cute!! Sorry to hear about all the changes in the food pantry and only hope all the dishes they were so generously supplying will still be available somewhere else to those who need them.

Glad you are enjoying extra time and those adorable puppies! I love labs, the very best breed ♥️. What are their names? What hasn’t been chewed yet😁

Heather, I too hope that everyone is getting what they need.  There is a new exec director starting soon so I am hoping I get more clarity.  In the meantime, it really has been all about the puppies!  Their names are Whiskey and Tango.  They are masters of seduction and destruction!  Very cliche.  We still have two old and ailing dogs so it makes us a crazy four lab household.  Absolute chaos.
