Martha Stewart by Mail Cookie Cutter

You already know that I'm absolutely in love with my little collection of

sadly, discontinued Martha Stewart by mail copper cookie cutters and, that I

am always on the look-out for opportunities to add more. However, what I

enjoy even more than the hunt for new additions is using my cutters to

create beautiful cookies to give away to the special people in my life!

And, that's exactly what I've been doing the past couple of days using

the kitty-cat collection and this exquisite Oh Christmas Tree cutter, both

sent to me by Michael Bonne who designed them for Martha Stewart! By

the way, there is incredible news to share if you love these cookie cutters as

much as I do, because while Michael and his lovely wife Teresa retired to

sunny Florida several years ago, now that their family is grown, Michael

has decided to design a whole new line of cookie cutters. Oh, happy day!

Speaking of happy... That's exactly how I feel about these cookies!

If you live in California or Pennsylvania...

You may want to begin checking your mailbox in a few days...

Because sugar is on the way!

Thanks to the wonderful ladies from the Imperial

Sugar Company I met a couple of weeks ago at Mixed...

My cookies have an excellent chance of making it in one piece

thanks to these tins we received as part of the amazing swag!

Now that my tins are registered, I'll be able to track their progress along

with all the other Bake it Forward tins sent to deliver happiness to others!

I am often asked what is the best way to send cookies to ensure they

don't arrive as crumbs and, I always recommend shipping cookies in

tins. These tins happen to be especially perfect because they were

designed to fit into the large, USPS priority mail boxes. I love that

Imperial Sugar cares as much as I do about delivering my cookies

in one piece... Especially the cookies I ship to our deployed Ranger

and his battle-brothers in Afghanistan. Thanks, Imperial Sugar!
