Thank you to all my fellow "pea-ps" that tried to help me come up with a name. So many good ideas, but if you will remember, all the ones that I loved were already taken. It was at least another month before "Fresh Cut Flours" just popped into my head, and if I remember correctly it came to me while laying in bed at about 4:00 a.m....apparently when I do my best thinking!
Just for fun, I thought I would make it worth your while for stopping by! By random draw, TWO lucky winners will receive their choice of:
One Dozen Decorated Cookies or
Any Apron currently listed in my ETSY shop (in sidebar).
How can you win? Just take a minute to leave a comment and tell me what you like most about my blog. The name, the design, the cookies I posted today, whatevs! Double your chances and become a follower and then leave another comment telling me did so! Easy peasy, right? You have till Wednesday, August 25th to enter...names will be drawn on Thursday morning. If I get lot of interest, I will "sweeten" the pot by making it THREE lucky winners! Lots of time to enter, so please spread the word!
Speaking of cookies...I baked these up special for my first blog post. Occasionally when I am bored I will go into my pantry, rummage through my cookie cutters and pick a theme! No particular reason, just to bake and brush up on my decorating skills! This time I felt the need to make flowers and use my newest ladybug cutter.
Since I did not really have anything to do with these cookies right now, I have packaged them up, put them in an airtight container and froze them (don't worry, these are not the cookies I am offering as a prize, lol). I have frozen baked, undecorated cookies several times, but I am told that you can freeze the iced ones as well. Won't it be great to just open the freezer and take out a cookie if I need a last minute snack for someone?! I'll let you know how well they hold up!
Thanks so much for stopping by...hope you come back again!

Love the name and that everything is nice and crisp and clean. It looks like there might be some designs on either side too, but in my browser (Mozilla) on a non-widescreen monitor, I can't see them.

i LOVE YOUR NEW BLOG! THE NAME IS REALLY CREATIVE AND i LOVE THE COLORS!
Really cute blog! Great idea too..."Fresh Cut Flours". :D
The only thing I would change would be to put cookie clipart in place of your flower clipart in your logo.
Booking marking your site and "following" too!

Beautiful cookies!! Can't wait to see your other recipes. BTW,Love the blog title.
Very cute blog! And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the cookies. I can't wait until you share the recipe. :-)
My favorite thing about your blog is the cookies. I'm so jealous! I wish I could decorate as good as you do!
Great job!
I love the whole look of your blog and your name is super cute but my favorite thing I have seen so far are the adorable ladybug cookies.

I love how you just stacked everyday plates, cups and saucers to make an interesting layered stamd for your beautiful cookies. :)
Hopped over here from 2peas because hello? COOKIES!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the name of your blog. And I just want to reach out and eat those cookies.
So cute...I love the side swirl and it just really clean and simple! Beautiful!
Another Lurker from 2peas.....love the name,very clever...your cookies look delish!!!!
Good job on the blog!!
I'll mark it as a favorite
I love the flower cookies! So pretty. Can't wait to see more.
Beautiful cookies!
those are so pretty I wouldn't want to eat them:)
Love them! Melissa sent me over and as you know my hubby is addicted to your cookies!
I like the "clean" look of the blog. Fits the cookies nicely. The white won't "fight" with your designs so the cookies pop more than the blog design, KWIM? Those little lady bugs are darling!
I am a follower! (:
I'm a follower!
Your cookies are beautiful!
Also from 2Ps. I love how you decorate your cookies. I have many shape cookie cutters but am scared of them for some reason.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for using a shaped line in your blog. I am so bored with all the blogs which are written in a long rectangle box. The curves of your middles section (sounds sooo funny *Grin* ) are my favorite aspect of your blog design!
I LOVE the tower of cookies. I'm drooling over the cookies and adore the way you put it together!
Love your cute homemade dessert stand!
( cookies are cute too!)
:)
Beautiful cookies... and I LOVE your display!!
These are fabulous!! My sister would love the ladybugs! :)
I'm a follower now, too!! Can't wait to see what's next!
I loved this idea for a blog when you first posted on the peas. I hope you don't mind another "follower", but I have always wanted to make these kind of cookies but had to relegate myself to being just a fan of them instead. I like the clean blog design and love the glittery sugared flower cookies!
The ladybugs are so cute.

I absolutely love the name of your blog. Also love all of the flower cookies. What a talent you have !
Lorna

I love the look of your new blog! I love cookies and I am always looking for inspiration. I also love the name you came up with!
Hi! I love the cookies you showed today, my dh is sitting next to me drooling :) I would love to see more information about how you made them, I would have no idea how to go about decorating cookies like that. And how did you make sugar cookies so super thick? They look awesome!

I became a follower :)
your cookies are GORGEOUS!!! I love the name you decided on. I think my favorite thing, though, is that you started a cookie blog!! whoo hoo! who doesn't love cookies?!!!
Wow, those cookies look so pretty! It would be a shame to eat them, but I think I would force myself! LOL! consider yourself added to my google reader!
LOVE it all, but the name is great! I was always jealous of your card blog title, now this, too cute! (Maybe you can help Kel come up with a title for her mystery blog).
Love the cookie display at the bottom of the first post. Did you glue or use a dowel through the cups and plates for stability, or are they just stacked up?
Would love to win a prize! Your blog is cute. :)
Love your new Blog! I think the name is fabulous and your cookies look delicious! Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us...
Love these - keeps summer here now that school is back. IF I win, I'm going to be putting these into lunchboxes. My kids will be so excited.
Beautiful cookies! I can't wait to see more. Will you share your recipe?
Awesome blog, love your display.

Kim
Oh my goodness! Your blog is adorable but my favorite thing is the COOKIES, of course! I'd LOVE to be able to make cookies like yours! I also love the stack of cups, bowls & plates you used to make the tiered cookie holder. Very cute!
Love love love your blog! I have a ton of great cooking blogs in my favorites, but no cookie ones. You will fit into my favorites perfectly :) I am loving the design of the whole blog. The blue background, the white 'frosting' on top... great job!!! BTW, I am drooling over the paisley apron in your etsy shop!
BTW, I am now an official follower! :)
Oh, and I'm a follower!

Terri,
I can't just pick one thing I like about your blog. I think the name is soooooo creative, your cookies are beautiful and you are so generous to share your recipe. I can't wait for more!
What is not to love?! I'm just starting to play with cookie baking/decorating and this blog is such an inspiration. Thank you!
I am so happy that I learned about your blog thru a fellow crafter. I have been making sugar cookies since I was a child, but nothing as elaborate as yours. I am excited to try out your recipes and you have the most exciting ideas.
You are truly a baking inspiration!!!
So, now I have one question...how did the prefrosted cookies turn out when you froze them? :>)
