Sara makes her delivery!
Sara Hedstrom Pinnell is a long-time friend and client. The owner of Hedstrom Design, a great downtown landscape architecture firm, she obviously is very creative. But this time, she really knocked our socks off!
Cookie me!
Friday at almost closing time, she showed up at our office in the historic Miller’s Building with these adorable cookies — each in the likeness of one of our staff members! Seems she had engaged Peggy Hambright of Magpies bakery to craft the edibles in our images based on the little avatars we have on our website! (Click here to see those.)
We had a blast posing with them! Nobody ate theirs — at least by the close of business. I heard some talk about shellacking them.
But in any case, thanks SO MUCH to Sara and our other friends at Hedstrom Design. And to Peggy and her talented staff at Magpies!
Alan cracks up over his cookie clone.
Veep Ellen Robinson and her cookie self
Creative Director Charley Sexton almost ate his, but the desire to show it to his little daughters made him hold off!
Scott Bird, our marketing v.p., and his little friend.
A great cookie likeness of our CFO, Shaun Fulco!
Social media guru Gavin Baker and his real life cookie
Account exec Lauren Christ and her cute cookie
Bob Wilson was out of the office, but we put his cookie at his keyboard!
Geraldine Cody wasn't in the office Friday, but we'll have hers delivered.
Here's Michelle Henry, who will get hers Monday, as well.
Here's Julie Bernal -- twice! Once as a cookie and once as a stand-up avatar!
Footnote: We realize that three of our staff — Tami Hartmann, Christine Bieniek, and Amy Foster — haven’t gotten their avatars on our website for various reasons. But, not to worry, as soon as we get them up there, we are going to engage Peggy at Magpies to make cookie versions of them, as well. And we’ll post them on the blog when we get them. (Don’t panic, Peggy! We won’t do that before Christmas!)

These cookies were so fun! The girls loved the “daddy cookie”! I think Linnie may have liked it more than them.
This was such a great surprise! How creative and thoughtful. Thanks, Sara!
I love Magpies goodies, but I can’t bring myself to eat this one. Thank you, Sara!
It took a special mix to get my grey hair, I bet.i
These cookies are so clever! What a great gift idea! Thanks, Sara!
What fun! Magpies did my granddaughter’s 13th birthday cake (her own specially drawn design). Magpies rocks — and so does Sara Hedstrom for the thinking of this.
Hahaha! Pam: I’m dying to know what her design was!
What a creative idea! I was so surprised when I got it. It will be hard to eat because I want to show it off to everyone.
We had sooo much fun planning this for you! Magpies is GREAT. Peggy said she used FORTY SIX different colors!!! WOW!
I’m glad you’re enjoying the “mini me’s”
Sara: We adored them! I ate “me” yesterday! I was very tasty!
