One of the cool things about Drop In & Decorate® parties is that they can be very large, or very small. And sometimes the best things do come in small packages.
Three of the cookies-for-donation parties in our coast-to-coast Mothers' Day celebration were either small by design, or small by happenstance. Hats off to each of these hosts (all terrific food bloggers) who were determined to find ways to bring some cheer to others on Mothers' Day.
From Rebecca, in Denver, who writes From Argentina with Love:
I baked and decorated some cookies (just by myself, no big deal) and brought them to a retirement home near my home. They loved them! They were so surprised and appreciative. I told them all about Drop In & Decorate and they were very interested. They were so glad to be thought of -- many of them didn't have visitors that day or had no children. I had a lot to be thankful for that day!!

Molly in New York City posted about her cookie decorating party on her blog, Olivejuiced. Their cookies were donated to Ronald McDonald House of New York City.
Natashya, of Living in the Kitchen with Puppies, baked and decorated seven dozen cookies with her daughter and her daughter's friends. They donated to The Denise House.
Special thanks to everyone! Your cookies are beautiful and your efforts brought smiles to the faces of many women and children for Mothers' Day.
I love the idea of taking them to a retirement home. Really nice!
