Bits Of My Weekend
Though the weekend was jam-packed, mostly it revolved around one event: a cookie decorating party. See, every year my family has a tradition at Christmas of all baking sugar cookies and then getting together and decorating them at someones house. I decided it would be fun to continue the tradition here in NYC, but instead of Christmas, it would just be Summer themed. I invited some blogger friends over, and we went to town on Sunday. I made more frosting than you could ever imagine, and we drank cucumber mint limeade and watermelon lemonade fizzes while making a giant mess (thank god for owning a vacuum!) It was a lot of work putting it all together, but it was so much fun (Jenny posted some way cuter photos here – can you guess who the cat in a bow tie belongs to?). I wish I could have invited more friends, but I don’t own enough chairs! Ha. Now I’m going to force my coworkers to eat most of my cookies before all my jogging lately is reversed…
ps. don’t forget about the gulf fundraiser today at 12PST!

So sad to have missed this lovely party yesterday. Maybe cookie parties like this should be hosted seasonally. I would gladly host the fall party, by then my apartment will be less like the Sahara Meets the Amazon. Yay cooookies!

I would like to know the general soundtrack one puts on when frosting hundreds of cookies in the middle of the summer.
Amazing. Just amazing.

So neat! The frosting colors are so fun. At least your forcing you co-workers to eat them…I made the mistake of making “Fat-free” cupcakes this weekend…what a joke…why even make cupcakes? And no one wants to eat them…even me.

My family does the same thing every year!
This is a great idea to have cookie parties at other times of the year, though!

Once we get half-way through the year I always start longing for Christmas. This is a perfect cure, without going all green and red overboard :-)
