Hi Friends of SPACECRAFT,

It's time to give thanks to those wonderful women we call MOMS!

There may not be precise words to express the deepest feelings you have for these amazing beings.  But you can convey your sentiments through the act of creating a little something of your own that will remind her how special you really think she is.

The best kind of moms, thank goodness, are the ones that already know how much you love them and are excited by even the sound of your voice.  Even more reason to surprise them with something totally unique and unexpected.

 

The time you spend creating your special token of gratitude for her can be your moment of reflection and meditation on what a true superhero she has been in your life.  And soon you'll realize she just gets better every day!

 

Hip hip HOORAY for moms!!!!!

 

We just can't wait to unconditionally love you soon!!! 

Your friends at SpaceCraft

Kristen's Kookies is a cookie and dessert company run by Kristen Renzulli. After landing a finance job, straight out of college, Kristen soon realized that she needed an outlet for her creativity and love of baking. Kristen started baking nonstop in her spare time - giving out desserts to family and friends. By way of word of mouth, Kristen started receiving requests to make cookies and desserts for parties, showers and gifts. Soon enough, Kristen decided to set aside her finance career and pursue her passion - Kristen's Kookies business was born. Kristen's Kookies is now an online cookie website, which specializes in customized and hand decorated cookies and desserts. Kristen's Kookies uses the highest quality ingredients and are guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face.
