It’s my one year blogiversary!
Last January I produced my very first post, Valentine Dominos. One picture and a single sentence to go with it, mostly because I wanted to make sure the thing worked when I clicked “publish”. It DID work and I was so proud. I felt very minuscule in the sea of a bazillion bloggers, yet thrilled to be swimming amongst the biggest of fish.
I decided to start a blog as a way to get my cookie art out there in another medium, to be more active on Pinterest, and to share where Facebook lacks. I’ve let it grow organically and have enjoyed producing it more than I realized I would. I find that photographing, editing pictures, and writing are just as much fun as creating the cookies!
And I like my cookies to be fun. Figuring I started my blog with a cookie game, it seems appropriate to celebrate one year on the web with another edible form of entertainment. The Valentine Tic Tac Toe, Melissa Joy style.
There is still much to learn and ways to improve, but I am excited for what may lie ahead. I hope you will delight, comment and continue to be there to take the ride along with
(If you would like some guidance on how I make a tic tac toe board, you can check our my post for Summer Tic Tac Toe Cookies or Back To School Tic Tac Toe Cookies!)

I think this version is my favorite tic-tac-toe version of yours, Melissa. I am so happy that you joined the blogging world; your cookies make me happy, as does your blog:) Your photos are gorgeous, and so big (wish my blog would fit bigger photos)!
