Twenty-nine years ago today, I married the man I met on a blind date.

Before we even met, we’d spent hours talking on the phone, used up all our best first-date material, and somehow managed to plan six dates before we’d even had the first one.🤣

Personality-wise, we couldn’t be more different. I’m the dreamer. He’s the realist. I’m the visionary. He likes to see it on paper. I’ll get excited about an idea that’s still a year away and wonder why everyone else isn’t just as excited. Jim just smiles, gives me that look, and says, “Honey… not everyone shares your enthusiasm.”

Somehow, that’s worked for 29 years.

Thank you for trusting my instincts, for keeping me grounded without ever holding me back, and for believing in me… even when you couldn’t quite see what I saw yet.

Happy 29th Anniversary. ❤️🥂

I was on my way to a friend’s for lunch and stopped at a market hoping to find a last-minute hostess gift.

I wanted something edible. I found lots of beautiful cookies, brownies and other treats. Everything looked delicious, but nothing felt like a gift. So I bought flowers instead.

It got me thinking… How many customers do the exact same thing?

If I’m buying cookies for my family, a bakery box is perfect. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do, transport cookies home.

But when I’m looking for a hostess gift, I’m shopping differently. I want something that looks thoughtful before it’s even opened. (Like I spent more than I did😝)

That’s where cookie packaging changes everything.
The problem wasn’t the cookies. The problem was the packaging.

That’s exactly why I designed the House Box, a house-shaped cookie gift box that turns cookies into a gift people are excited to give.

Don’t just sell cookies. Sell gifts.

Imagine opening a cookie box and finding these inside.

Warm blueberry.
Buttery streusel.
A hint of lemon.

Your customers are going to love these chewy blueberry streusel muffin cookies.

It took me five tries to perfect this gourmet blueberry cookie recipe for your bakery.

I’ll be sharing the recipe later this week. Save this post so you don’t miss it! ❤️

Meet some of the characters from One Mad Cat! 🐱📚✨

Congratulations, Vicky! Wishing One Mad Cat a wonderful launch day. 📚💛

Does using a tool make someone less of an artist?

I’ve been thinking about this lately. Every now and then I hear that sugar cookies printed with an edible printer aren’t “real art.”

I’ve always found that interesting. Because someone still had to create the artwork. It didn’t magically appear because they pressed Print. I wish! 😂

The printer didn’t create the artwork. It simply transferred it onto a cookie.

And if that process helps us create more consistent work while freeing up time… is that a bad thing?

Or does using a tool somehow make us less of an artist? 🤷🏻‍♀️

People don’t order custom sugar cookies because they need a snack.

They order them because they want the whole experience to feel special. And that feeling starts before they see the cookies. Which means …

your box is either adding to the experience…
or quietly flattening it.

Because when the packaging feels ordinary, the order starts ordinary…Even if the cookies inside are beautiful.

But when the box already feels thoughtful, giftable, and worth photographing… The whole
experience feels more memorable before it’s even opened.

That’s what our Karentology boxes are designed for.

Introducing our Pink Cottage House Box - designed to turn 6 to 8 cookies into a ready-to-gift
moment your customer wants to show off.

Now available on our website, link in bio .t.ology 💕
