I made a cookie jar for my mother-in-law in my pottery class. It's not a total monstrosity, if that's what you're thinking. Turned out pretty well.
I want to personalize it somehow, which I will do in at least colors (blue and white) and style (floral but not too country or chintzy) but am stuck on whether I want to write anything on it (I think so) and if so, what. I'd like to say something more interesting than just "Grandma's Cookies" or "Nobody makes cookies like Grandma" or whatever. (She has three grandchildren including sozlet, two who live within a few minutes of her house and are there often. She bakes a lot of cookies.)
Any ideas?
Thanks!
How 'bout "Grandma's Treasure Jar"
"Cookies With Love From Grandma"
"Made With Love From Grandma"
"For Grandma's Angels"
"Grandma's Cookies
Since 1950"
"Grandma's Best!" Not a true double entendre, but she'll probably get it.
I found this by accident and I love it:

Course it doesn't have anything to do with cookies
How about "NO, its to close to dinner"
Super Cook!

I cheated. I googled on 'sayings about food'.
Lots of fun stuff out there ...
here are a couple of samples from

Hey, good stuff! Thanks!
She's a kind of a happenin' grandma, ya know, just had braces a few years ago, doesn't dye her hair but still looks younger than her age, so I'm liking the funny/ pithy ones.
Have to decide by tonight! This is the most stressful part of pottery class... I have these objects that are fine, didn't break, didn't crack, what do I put ON them??? Then I put these gray gloopy horrible looking things on a shelf and return the next week to see amazing glowing colors.
I like pottery class.
Thanks again for your help, everyone.
"Eat me"?
Just kiddin' - it was all clean and such when they said it in Alice in Wonderland.
