Honoring a mother's birthday is a joy, especially when you can create something beautiful that you know she'll treasure (both visually and in the mouth). Sometimes I think that my family must be so tired of receiving a package from me when they know it's just another box of cookies. LOL. Hopefully, each package is opened with the knowledge that love went into the work of creating something special just for the recipient!!
I love the simple lines of these designs along with the subtle color combination. I can tend to decorate with a tendency towards more details rather than less. This time I wanted to try to create a feeling of elegance and hope I've achieved that for my mom. I can't believe how quickly each year flies by. Thankfully, my mom is very healthy and I pray she will be with us for many more years . She amazes me in that she continues to knit every day making baby blankets for those mothers or mothers-to-be who are in need of baby "stuff". I applaud her generosity of spirit and heart as I know it's painful now for her to knit yet she carries on with determination and love.
Happy Birthday to your Mum!! Yes, can’t believe a year has gone by already😲
Aww, such a delicate and elegant set!! So, so precious ♥️ Yes, we tend to think that the family is tired of our cookies, but they are really looking forward to see what’s new and surprising. And you are so amazing at this!!♥️
Beautiful cookies Carol @Cookies Fantastique. I love everything about it. The colors and flowers are just so pretty. Happy birthday to your mom. Wishing her great health and happiness. I bet she loved it.

Thank you my dear friend @Heather Bruce Sosa for your sweet words!! You are so right about cookies for family... mom called today to let me know she had received her cookies and was really excited to get them. Not tired of my cookies. LOL Your kindness always warms my heart. I'm just so very thankful that we've connected here!! So much more in common than our cookie journeys. God bless you ❤❤❤ Hugs...

Oh Gabi, thank you my sweet friend @Icingsugarkeks!! Your words are always beyond kind and thoughtfully written. Mom loved her cookies . She called me as she was opening them and gave me a "cookie review". In other words, she said a few words about each cookie as she opened it. LOL. That's very much like her to make sure to let me know how much she appreciates the time, effort and love. I hope you are well my dear friend ❤️❤️❤️ Hugs...
These are gorgeous, Carol, and also very elegant. Happy birthday to your mom. Sounds like both of you are blessed to have each other. ❤️
Thank you so very much dear Christine @Sweet Prodigy!! Mom was funny as she opened each cookie and gave me a "blow-by-blow" commentary about each one. She knows I am always concerned that they ship well and arrive in tact (hence, the blow-by-blow). At 87 she sounds great. I haven't seen her in over 2 years now and may never see her before she's gone to be with God. Neither of us are able to travel so we enjoy lots of phone conversations and I send her cookies with cards as often as time allows. She's mellowed with the years. Believe me, we certainly had our mother/daughter issues. I'm so thankful that she's in good health "for her age".
Thank you again for taking the time to comment, Christine! I know you are a very busy woman ❤️❤️❤️ Hugs...
Gorgeous Carol. The colors are stunning. I’m sure your mother adored them.a big happy birthday to her and a big hug to you too!!❤️❤️😘🍪🎉
Thank you dear Lisa @LisaF!! I'm so happy you like the color combination. And mom just loved them. It's always more fun to make cookies when they're appreciated this much. You always say the kindest things. It means more to me than you know ❤❤❤ Hugs...
