These cookies are for sweet Jennifer and her adorable one year old Finn.
Jennifer had told me about her vision, and then sent a little picture along for me to follow from.
I would not consider myself a hippy by any means, but I sure did get my groove on making these!
As you might have imagined, I didn't have a bus cookie cutter, so I made a template and cut each one of these out by hand.
I love her color choices!
I sorta couldn't stop taking pictures of them.
Rainbows make me happy. (See here. And here. And here. And... well... this could go on all day.)
Rainbow sugar cookies make my belly happy.
Happy Birthday Finn and Happy totally non-official I am just making this up Rainbow Day to you!
*I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe and glaze icing.
Super fun cookies!

My mother in law has always dreamed of owning a VW van (yes, totally true) so these make me think of her.

OMG ! These are fabulous ! I cannot wait to make them for my friend Shari. She has been battling some severe health problems and has lost a ton of wait. This is just the ticket to get some pounds back on her skinny little body. She and her hubby love and own severel vw's. Thank you
