When I was asked by my friend Lene of Not Your Everyday Cookie if I would like to be part of a nerdy Valentine's Day project I said yes, of course. I love participating in collaborative projects but I'll admit that I really struggled with this one. I Googled ideas and changed my mind about a hundred times. I kept thinking who do I consider a nerd? Only one person kept coming to mind. Milton from Office Space.
If you've never seen the movie then the cookie and the saying will probably make no sense to you. I put my edible markers to use again designing this cookie and you'll see them again soon. I was proud of myself for actually sketching Milton instead of using an image from the internet on the cookie. I'm horrible at sketching but I think I did alright.
Now take a look at all the other wonderful cookies in this project. Be sure to visit their sites and show them some love.
