Stress Awareness Month - is only in April? Geez when you're decorating cookies or cakes I thought it was every month!! icon_lol.gif
I haven't done any of the monthly themed cookies yet, but would like to for April... here's hoping a good one is picked!
My vote goes to the idea of "spring has sprung" by Destini

Too far fetched??

I asked my husband to tell me what his first thought was when I said 'April' (trying to get a new idea for cookie club).
He said 'rain and floods' icon_confused.gif
I'm not too sure I could make cookies about rain and floods... umbrellas?..Noah's ark?.. house cookies half-submerged in a bowl of blue frosting?..

Can you tell it's been raining here?
