I have a HUGEEEEEEEE order going on right now..
50 large cactus
100 mini cactus
50 sun
300 half-slices of lime
50 logo
I have to make 50 cookie box with them.. I'm exhausted... 
I will need to work so late tonight and tomorrow.. they are for wednesday morning 9am. I'm so pleased that my sister will do the ribbons! And my mom is babysitting my 2 kids at her home.. 
And yesterday, I went to bed at 1am, up at 6:30 this morning.. 
But I love cookies 
Now that sounds like the life of a cookie decorator!!! I wish you luck and lots of rest when you're done!
I lived that life for years too...to bed at 2am and up at dawn.
Just remember, you'll soon be done, you'll enjoy that money, you can have a drink and then go to bed! (Just be careful with your wrists and stretch them every few minutes, you don't want to get carpal tunnel syndrome.) 
:
Bonne chance! J'aime vos biscuits, ils sont si jolis!
Thanks everyone!
I'll take a break for a few minutes.. the outlining of the lime slices killed me! The top of my hand is hurting even if I took a lots of break..!
But this order is getting me more money than what I was making in at least 2 weeks when I was working out of my home!!!
Wednesday night I'll be in my bed at 8pm, just like the kids! lol
very, sore... but my shoulder hurts the most, from the outlining
Right now, everything is hurting.. even my eyes..lol
But from the back , it's the middle of it that's hurt.
I can imagine it hurts all over lol That is ALOT of cookies!!!!
I get sore back only doing a 2 dozen cookies (they take awhile) cose i tend to hunch over alot and get a sore lower back and yeh sore shoulders too.
I'm lucky I don't get sore wrists when piping but that's cose i only do max 24 at a time no like the amount you guys do!!!! If i did that many i would be falling apart lol However excessively typing posts on CC makes my hand and wrists hurt though lol
I've recently been working pt at a Bakery. Two days before Thanksgiving was extremely busy. I frosted and placed nuts on 276 cakes!!! I've never worked in a Bakery before this recent job there. Needless to say I had to wear support gloves (Wilton) every day and night for a week after that. Now, I wear them almost everytime I'm using my decorating and/or piping skills. The old grey mare, she ain't what she used to be!
Elise, I must say your sleighride is AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll maybe try to do it to put the Santa Claus cookies in it... If I have time.. lol
i'm taking a break with some heat on my hamd.. this is great..
I'm working very hard since it's my first year as a business (I'm 25, so I have LOTS of years in front of me 
)

thanks! I did feel the sleigh was a bit lonely sitting by itself though but santa and a few bits and pieces made it a nice centre piece...i don't have the energy for a xmas house this year lol But i am going to fill it with some lollies and stuff closer to christmas
And i know what you mean about your hand because like i said before i was typing too much on CC a little while ago (still am lol) and i gave myself repeative stress on my right wrist and hand and it ached SO MUCH!! and it went on like that for a week and i was trying to make stuff while it ached and it wasn't fun so i totally know how you feel in a way
BTW yay someone close to my age i'm 22, very cool you have a business already 
Do you just do decorated cookies or other stuff? I was thinking about selling some of my cookies but decided i prob couldn't handle the stress of it all lol
Wow, That's a whole lot of cookies! You need some wrist yoga or something! I just got a french rolling pin and it works beautifully on my fondant but my wrists hate me for it!
Does anyone get a sore back doing cookies?
constantly!
