A little taste of Switzerland...

Ok, this theme is unusual for me. I mean, my name is Heidi, and I have gotten way too teased about it to go and embrace it with cookies...but the other day, I was taking a look at a few things on etsy.com (my new favorite online shopping destination) and saw these Heidi, Peter and Grandpa prints and thought ooooh, what a great way to welcome my friend Nancy who will be coming to visit me from Canada in a few days! What else could I use? Mountains, the flag, Edelweiss...that was pretty simple. I started looking for cute ways to represent money...didn't work out, but animals-our brown cows, our mountain groundhogs and Peter's goat seemed a good choice. 

I wanted to give it some sparkle, I got a bit carried away with the cow here... it was too late to change it though, I would have had to have a spare cookie (I didn't) and redo the entire cow (didn't feel like it)...

I love the goats, they are my favorite.

Heidi, Grandpa and Peter, I forgot grandpa's pipe, but you know, he'll live longer if he doesn't smoke...

The edelweiss is my husband's favorite. I quite like it too...

The flag. I think it looks quite nice actually.

So here are my swiss cookies. If you think they are too cliché, then let me tell you something, I am half swiss, I live in Switzerland, my name is Heidi and I love animals. What do you want!! You have to embrace the things that are lovely in life, whether they are corny or not! Hope you like them!!
