Well I have been baking since this AM and I am pooped/ baked, whatever you want to call a tired baker. The first cookie tin is being delivered tonight to my hair stylist, Amy. She is really awesome and I am glad that I found her about a year ago. It has been about 3 months since I had time with her and boy am I long over due. Enjoy the pics of her tin above- it consists of chocolate-chip cookies, gallon of milk brownie and a new additional this year, toffee chip brownie. I also did a peppermint candy cane brownie that was just ho hum, so no one will get that one. I may crumble it up and put it into my candy cane cupcakes that I have not made yet. The eggnog ones where made and never frosted- boy did they smell good. What can I say, a mothers work is never done and the cupcakes took a back seat to Z-man's teething.
On the Harmony front, it looks like we may have an architect. I had a wonderful conversation with a woman that one of my friends referred me to. Her fees are super reasonable and she has lots of experience with Butler County codes. We will see how it goes. WE are making progress, it's slow but at least we are still moving forward.
Anywho, I am off to see Amy.
Later, Buckeye Bakers.

Cookies look GREAT. FYI about our architect...his fee was $2K for about two weeks of work. WE provided the design. He prepared the plans and drew it all out for us. He also met with us and the Health Dept. for approval (THIS IS IMPORTANT). He was SUPER fast, always answered calls, and asked a lot of questions. Good luck!! :)
OH, another thing: He didn't do the electrical, mechanical (hood), or plumbing parts of our plans...our subcontractor's did.
The woman that I think we are going with charges a flat rate. I don't know her fee yet, we will discuss that next week but she said it should not be more than
3K. We have our design (front and back of house) to give her. I am hoping that she will be @ the same price as yours. The others we talked to are all charging 3-9% of the total cost of the project (like 5-9K). I am just happy that I my friend recommended her.
