drumroll please....

I approached Part II of the Martha Cookie Challenge head on.... and came out VICTORIOUS! Using a very simple pallette of white and red - I mixed up the most perfect batch of royal icing I've ever made (2 tsp lemon juice, 2 egg white, 3 c icing sugar) and equipped with plastic squeeze bottles from the dollar store (make sure to wash them out first - obvious I know - but just a reminder) I decorated 5 dozen cookies in a little less than 3 hours. Now sure - some look better than others - but for my very first attempt to be Martha - I'm pretty pleased. Lucy still wasn't though.
