I hope you will forgive this little indulgence. I normally do not post anything on my baking blog that is not, well, baking related.
And this sorta is...
I just received a very special package in the mail.
It is from the lovely and talented ladies from Brides magazine.
Dont scratch your head too long, yes I am already married. There is no new news there.
So what is so special about this particular issue?
*holding breath cause I still can't believe its real*
My cookies are in it!!!
About five months ago I teased that I had some big news about these facebook and twitter cookies. And this is it!
The most precious page ever, #64, contains these little bad boys.
I am so honored and thrilled and not even a comment from dear hubby like, "Thats it?" can bring me down. (He, being my dear husband and all, just assumed they would get a whole page. I love that he did that!)
Yes, thats it. And thats all I ever wanted!!!
Thank you so much Brides magazine! Your staff is amazing and professional and so kind and patient, I just feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have been a part of this!
Now I promise I wont hijack my blog anymore for silly things like this! (but thank you so much for indulging me!)
SQUEE!!!! Doing the happy dance over here for you, Amanda!!! Awesome!

How absolutely wonderful for you Amanda and very well deserved. Those were quite the unique and creative cookies. I agree with Basht, I'd frame that page and hang it in your kitchen. So happy for you and I have the feeling this won't be the first time we see your cookies, cakes etc. in magazines etc.
