Birthday with Lots of Cookie Cutters

My son celebrated his 19th birthday last week. The problem was that he was about 700 miles away! This was the first time that he wasn't home for me to throw him a big birthday celebration. It was harder than I expected and I missed him terribly. I decided to make him a whole bunch of cookies to give out to his friends in college. And since I generally go pretty overboard with things, I made a bunch of new cookie cutters too. Thankfully my kids appreciate my craziness and they like cookies ;-)

Somehow I forgot to get a platter picture of the cookies. All that work and no platter picture. This will have to do. Get ready for lots and lots of cookies...

This one was my favorite. Birthday boy with cupcake. The cookie cutter is available at my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/cristinscookies

Cake Tier - I changed this one after I made these cookies. I didn't like the bow.

 Confetti 2 - I changed this one after so that it's not as thin

and then some more cookies with cutters I already had

As you can see, I had lots of fun making so many new designs of cookie cutters. They can be found at my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/cristinscookies

In all, I shipped 41 cookies to Nick. He said that he gave them out to friends and they were gone in a day. I'm glad they enjoyed them. He will be home for Spring Break in a few weeks. I'm so excited to see him. I wonder what I'll make for his return...
