Valentines Day Cookies

     Before I show you my first set of cookies for 2014 I wanted to give a warm congratulations to Nantucket Delicacy Set by Rebecca at The Cookie Architect 
who was the winner of Best Cookie 2013. Again it was my honor to be among the top 10 for the year at Cookie Connection. I can not thank everyone enough for their support through out the year. It is your support and encouragement that gives me the motivation to keep creating and improving myself.

     So with Valentine's Day just around the corner I created some cookies which reflect the romantic vision I have of this special day.

Enjoy the photos and wishing everyone a wonderful loved filled Valentines Day.

Since posting this article two of my Valentine cookies submitted to the Cookie Connection site were spotlighted and received the coveted honor of being featured for the week!

This is an incredible honor considering the level of participation worldwide. I do not have any hopes to be the winner, but the fact that I am in this position after only 8 months of cookie making gives me the courage to continue to create and move forward. I thank all of you for your support.
