Kaitlyn’s Kutters

This cutter is going in the mail for Towana, who was in charge of our sleeping car on my train trip to Oregon last December. After a 14 hour delay because of bad weather, we were all tired and sore. The hard wooden benches in the train station had dividers about every 2 feet so we could not lie down. Towana had me on board and flat on my back in bed so fast it was unbelievable. She made me eat lunch and dinner and basically just took care of me and the other passengers, even bringing breakfast in bed to the mother and daughter in the compartment across from me.
The Towana Angel is holding a train ticket and is wearing the official Amtrek uniform. Thank you from a grateful passenger.

I wish my photography was as good as the decorating on the cookies I photographed at the meeting. The cookies were amazing works of art. And the people were amazing too. So much talent! The theme was “Wizard of Oz” so we had flying monkeys, lions, poppies, lots of witches and ruby slippers – if it was in the book or movie, it was a beautifully decorated cookie.

Yes, there really is an organization for collectors. You can check out the website at www.cookiecuttercollectorsclub.com.
I have just joined the California chapter of CCCC and will be going to the chapter meeting, which is being held in Monterey (actually Seaside), California on January 13, 2007. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone. Marty Pemberton, the national president and a wonderful customer, found me on ebay. I’ll post pictures when I get back.
