I'm so excited. I launched my website about 2 weeks ago and have just told family and friends about it. Well, I got an email order from my old boss today. I'm so excited!! I'm so nervous too! She just wants 2 dozen of the same cookie, so that won't be too hard. I think I'm going to throw in another 6 for free, because she is my first order and I'm having a hard time taking money from people. I'm going to be a bad businesswoman. LOL!

Oh gosh, so nervous that one of you has been to my website.

She ordered 2 dozen shamrocks, so nothing too difficult, but now I want to think of at least 3 good designs to make them interesting. I can't wait to do a 'real' order! I've been dancing around the house all afternoon!

Thanks guys. I know I have a way to go on my cookies, my piping stinks, but thought I would give it a shot. So far so good. I'm having fun anyway, even if I don't get any orders.

I"m also bad at charging - I usually say "oh it's no bother, what ever you want to give me in payment"
