I wasn't even going to use a cutter for these cookies. I was going to take a pizza wheel and start cutting out pennant-like shapes. I was in a hurry, remember? No time to think about the fact that I own an ACTUAL pennant cutter. As it turns out...I couldn't get to my rolling pin without moving a whole bunch of cutters that needed to be put away. I realized that I was kind of tired of looking at them...and to be honest...the last time I did laundry, I lost one of them down the lint tunnel of despair and then spent all afternoon taking apart my dryer to find said cutter. So...you know...definitely time to put them away. And I'm so glad I did because I found A PENNANT CUTTER!!
The best part about these is that you could make them for any reason at all. In fact, I almost did a "Welcome Baby" banner but then I got all stressed out about which colors to use because I was worried that my family would think I was making some kind of announcement when I wasn't. But YOU could make one. Or maybe a "Good Luck" banner or a "Try Not To Hate Me Because I Broke Your Favorite Ipod" banner.
...OR...a super cute HALLOWEEN COOKIE BANNER!! Seriously, it's a great idea. Don't even think about not liking it.

OK. We must have a psychic cookie connection because I've been toying with this idea for an upcoming baseball party for literally the last 3 days, but couldn't figure out if it would hold up to actually being hung. And BAM! Along comes your wonderful post! I LOVE this to death and think your work is phenomenal! Thank you for sharing.
Such a cute idea! Might have to go get a pennant cutter.
Adorable as usual. Is it really strung up? Those are some strong cookies...in this humidity they would just crumble away. My usually crunchy cookies are so soft. 106 can do that I suppose.
Okay, I SERIOUSLY LOVE this brilliant idea. And I had to laugh at that first paragraph because I can totally be that way with papercrafts. I get an awesome idea and I HAVE to make it before someone else, because if they make it first (even if I had already thought of it) then they will think that I was just copying them. And what if there's turned out better than mine would have too -LOL. Too funny! Anyway, long story short. I LOVE these! Hugs- Glora
What an ingenious and adorable idea! I want a banner cutter too! I can completely relate to your introductory paragraph~funny:)
I had to rush over here from Flickr to just say one more time how insanely creative you are! Honestly, you come up with every single awesome idea before anyone else has a chance to and so now I'm left to wonder....how can I steal this idea and make people think it was mine?
What an adorable idea Georganne!!! Super cute! Thanks for sharing your creativity!
Love this idea! And love your blog! You crack me up!
i have a pic of a paper banner i made that was pretty cool...i don't think i can upload it. i also have a halloween banner, but no pic. i LOVE the banner idea!
Hahahahaha, I know that feeling. You beat me to an idea I had bookmarked {to be fair I didn't think of it} AND you made it better than the "improved version" in my head. I love/hate that. I love it because it makes you one of my heroes but Im bummed I waited too long...BUT in the end I'm glad I didn't post. I'd have been embarrassed after this beauty!!! I ADORE it, G! Ur awesome!
Such an adorable idea and such a funny blog entry!! :0)
At our recent open house, we decorated with fabric banners, and made Dr.Suess cookies. I think I am really glad you had this idea AFTER the party!
What a cute, creative idea!
The marker idea is great too!
Brilliant! A friend of mine is having scoliosis surgery this week, the day before her 15th birthday... I'm truly inspired...Now... to track down a pennant cookie cutter.
Ps--I dig your writing style.
What a fantastic idea! I slaved over the sewing machine to make bunting for my daughter's 2nd birthday but after making one long swag, I couldn't face sewing up the rest of the pennants I'd cut out. But in cookies - now that would be something! Found you via Sweet Sugarbelle today - and now happy to be your latest follower. Love your work!
Oh my gosh, I love this. you did an amazing job!!
