In December I wanted to help lift some spirits and happened upon your tutorial for “Mr. Melty.” What a great idea! I really didn’t have the time or energy to make everyone a cookie tray, but I could make 36 Mr. Melty’s and distribute them with a tag that said, “you may be feeling a bit melted now, but in another week you will be strong and powerful once again!”. And so I did. The cookies were well received and gave everyone a much needed lift. “I found the instructions on the internet!” I was happy to say to those who commented.
One young lady told me she was going to make them with her children over the weekend. I was excited for her and happy to show her your tutorial. “Oh, you make the cookie dough?” she asked. “Can’t I just use the stuff you buy in the store in the tube?” Well, I don’t know. Maybe. I’ve never tried that. “Oh, you make the icing? Can’t you use the canned stuff?” “I don’t know. I haven’t tried that.”
Perhaps it is not just creativity that is not recognized, but the effort that makes everything just a little special.
I hope you got a laugh out of this story. I do every time I tell it.
