Flower Power!

Hello All!

I decided to do another challenge from LilaLoa this month.  This time it was to change up your photography. 

I have a potluck for a girl at work this week.  It is her last day at the company.  She requested that I make her cookies one last time.  How can I say no to that!  I thought it would be a perfect reason to participate in the challenge.

I made 36 flower cookies.  I might have had one or two.....Paul might have had a couple too.... Today at work I had to count the potluck sheet to see how many people are participating.  Last I looked it was 25.  I packaged up 28 cookies to bring to work.  Yes, I saved a couple more to enjoy tomorrow :)  I am addicted, what can I say!

I normally take a pic with just a couple cookies on a plate.  Boring, I know.  I don't normally stack the cookies on top of each other.  I would like to say it is due to some great photography trick I learned, but it is not.  I am too impatient to let the cookies dry overnight to take the pics.  I am a Do it Now kind of girl.  I figured I would take the challenge to heart and make myself wait a day before taking the pic so they would be fully hard.  That way they don't have indents from the other cookies or my fingerprint from smudging it while moving it. 

I stacked most of the cookies on a plate to see how I liked it.  It really does look different vs 3 cookies on a plate.


Of course I had to take a close up.  Creature of habit.

And then I decided to line them up in a row.  For a spur of the moment decision, I think it was a good pic! 


I am glad I did the challenge this month.  It is nice to venture outside of my comfort zone and do something different. 

Thanks for looking and have a great week!!
