Fruit of the Spirit

The church I attend had their women's retreat this past weekend and the theme was the Fruit of the Spirit. I decided to surprise the gals with a dessert based on the theme. I got LOTS of help from Cookie Crazie's blog and flickr account as well as Callye from The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle's blog. They both have links to recipes, videos, FAQs and so on.

I was taking most of the pictures at night so the lighting isn't the greatest - story of my life lately. This was a fun project although it took me longer than I expected. I think I underestimated the time it takes to make and tint all the icing the most. Once that was all done the decorating actually went pretty quickly. Considering I decorated 76 cookies! Lots of colors, two different icing consistencies for each color. Hubby was a verrrry smart man on Thursday offering to bring home some dinner.










The ladies loved them. I learned a few things and I know I need more practice.

Praise - for a fun new hobby that I can use to bless others. For the newest baby to join our church family - born Friday. Her name is Daisy!

Prayers - for the young family with the new baby, that they would raise her to love and fear the Lord.
