YES! This is WeCookiers. I have changed my headers, logo, and site colors. Like the new changes? You'll see the difference in any of the links to the site in this email.

Ah, Easter. I think most of us are ready for the warmer temps and colorful outdoors.

What cookies are you doing for Easter? I'm pretty hooked on cookie platters anymore. Though I do love putting together special sets.

Have you heard of Semi-Sweet Designs? I just love Mike's cookie platters, and such great quality with templates. Okay, I confess. I just ordered $100 worth of platter cutters. Yeah, you know how addictive cutters are, lol!

I'm stoked to use the new Easter platter for some pre-sales. You'll find the platter/s below and the Easter inspiration ones.

Business Sense: marketing yourself

2. Pair with a coffee shop. You promote their coffee and they promote your cookies. Maybe cookies with the coffee shop's logo?

3. Get a list of daycares and/or preschools and take sample PYO cookies to them. They are always looking for ways to keep the kids busy. Maybe put the PYO set in a bag with a flyer explaining you also do blank cookies with icing in bags.

Quick Business Tips

As of January (except when I had a nasty 2-week illness), I have been quite good at taking Sunday evenings and my planner to make notes and lists of what I need to get done each day. It has helped tremendously.

2 Do you often go to bed with a cluttered work area, or house for that matter? Did you know scientifically that if you clean up you get these benefits: more focus, more energy, better sleep, and more productive. Makes me want to deep clean!

3 Here's a trick I've been doing for years. Once a month I make up 35-50 (double batch) cookie rounds and place them in the freezer. Each Monday I cut out all the cookie sets needed for that week. I freeze them on cookie sheets and stack the sheets in the freezer til I'm ready to bake them. Each Tuesday I make up all the colored icing and place the consistencies in icing bags. I usually bake the cut out cookies on this day. I take the rest of the week for decorating.

It really takes the 'burden' part out of my mind. For me, blocking out those times works wonderfully.
