For my part, I did what I've been doing best -- or at least the most these days. I baked.
I admit I was nervous putting them out on the table. I told Mike if they didn't sell for a reasonable amount of money my ego would be crushed. And yes, I did sneak away -- when I could -- and check out how the bidding was going. I am very happy to say they brought a total of $42 to Abby's school and there was some disappointment expressed from the losers. So I left the event feeling pretty good about myself.
I was surprised that they went for so much when you consider that my buddy ML was wandering around telling people they were horrible tasting cookies, so she could win them herself.
One of the bouquets went home with Abby's little friend -- who's a boy, but not a boyfriend, Mom okay -- and his Mom called me this morning to complain about them. Uh oh. When she asked her little guy how he liked the cookies he said -- well I don't want to hurt your feelings. And then he wondered if she would ask me for the recipe.
I wonder if I could use that as a testimonial if I decide to go pro?

Way to go, Shan! Sounds like a business ready to be sprung! You realize you raised almost 1/4 of the money for the sale?!
They look amazing!! You do such a professional job. I love the boxes they are in, too!!
That's great! Kids can really say the darnedest things! Your cookies look amazing. I must admit that I'm a little scared to make cookies b/c they will most definitely not be nearly up to your standards!
As per usual, You Rock! I've gotta come up with better kudos. That one is getting used by me too often with you!
