What have you been up to lately?

This is what I've been doing the last 2 days. I made 300 sugar cookies for a friend's wedding reception. They're their favors. I really love how they turned out. The pink actually is a brighter pink, but it doesn't look like it in the pictures. Wednesday I made 10 batches of dough and yesterday I started at 8am rolling out and baking the cookies. I finished the baking at about 1pm and then started icing. I finished everything at about 2:30am. I would have been up all night if it had not been for my great friends, Cindy and Nicole. They came over last night and helped package and decorate for about 4 hours. I could not have done it without them. I had no idea how time consuming it was going to be and how much my wrist would kill by the end. But, they were definitely worth it.
