Other than the obvious 4th of July, how about bugs? Butterflies, dragonflies, lady bugs...your thoughts!

I like the idea of bugs (of all sorts!), but I think 4th July is too country specific for an internationally subscribed board - that holiday means nothing to those of us outside the USA who aren't American, JMO!

Bugs is good.

Could be beach type cookies - suns, beach balls, swim suits, etc.

sounds like so far the two front runners are "bugs" and "beach stuff"....

let your opinions be heard, cookie bakers!

What about Patriotism?

Someone had suggested 4th of july but since it isn't recognized all over the world I think Patriotism would be a good way to see differnet things from around the world.

Patriotism works for me too if we don't get enough interest in bugs. I just ordered a bunch of beach stuff from cookiecutters.com so I've got that covered as well. When will the decision be made?

Okay, I know I already voted for beach stuff, but thought of another one. How about flags? That way we can see them from all different places, either state or country. Or is that too limiting? Just thought it may be different.

Great ideas, everyone. Keep 'em coming!


I'll give it a few more days and then announce the theme that seems to have the most support on July 1.

I like the idea of flags/patriotism usaribbon.gif although it does seem kind of limiting - I am always suprised at how unlimited the ideas are as people show there cookies! I do think bugs or beaches would be more fun though icon_rolleyes.gif and like tayesmom, am thinking of some cookie cutters I have been eyeing that may need to be bought.

Can I vote for two months? Final Answer : thumbs_up.gif Beaches for July and Bugs for Aug (cause it will 'bug' me that summer is already over)
