My sweet, fun, gorgeous, thoughtful neighbor Tammy wanted some cookies.

Who can say no to sweet, fun, gorgeous people? Not I. Its like they have me under their spell. Some day I want to be one. I am thinking in 30 years when '60' is the new '20'.

It could happen.

Anywho, her kiddo was celebrating his 10th birthday on July 3rd, and she thought he might like some cookies!

Her criteria: Red, white, and blue (his choice), its his 10th birthday, his name is Jacob, he loves all things sports. He is a total boys boy.

(please tell me I can squeeze in just one more red, white, and blue post!)

I drew up some sportsy type guys for my inspiration.

Those sports guys were tough. I realize my football player is sorta pac-mans head on a body, and my soccer player could be mistaken for the white outline dead guy on Law and Order if there was no soccer ball there.

I kept making legs too fat and arms too long and sticks too short.

I was a total baby and whining and complaining the entire time.

Then I finished and was like, "That wasn't too bad!"

I have a really bad memory.

Just sayin.

So I hope Jacob liked his cookies. Happy 10th Birthday big guy!

And I hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th weekend!

(I promise no more red, white, and blue for a while! At least. Not together. On the same cookie. Unless someone wants some. Then forget I mentioned it.)

Share with your friends!

  1. WOW! You amaze me at each post. Everytime I think I’ve seen the cutest then you post something new!

  2. These are amazing! Your creativity boggles the mind ~ such talent. And no, they do not look weird or like the dead guy on Law & Order. 🙂 Seriously, they are all beautiful and I feel sure Jacob loved them!

  3. Wow Amanda… amazing cookies. I’m sure Jacob loved them. Every time I come to your blog I find yet another new creation. 🙂 Keep up the good work (fun)!
    Blessings to you this week, Kari

  4. Those cookies are awesome! I personally like red, white and blue. So keep’em coming!! 🙂

  5. These are AMAZING!!!!!!!! It looks like it was so hard to draw those guys! I don’t think I would have thought of it, let alone attempted to do them! You are so talented and creative, but I think I may have said that a bunch of times already here! Like others have commented, I have a hard time being original with my comments because all I think of is “amazing,” “incredible,” and “WOW!” Sometimes I can come up with a “fantastic” or “fabulous” but I’m going to have to start using a thesaurus 🙂

  6. Very cool looking Amanda. Love the simplicity of the design because it’s so striking! Great job, yet agin!!!
