We asked our Assistant Editor, Jody Johnson Pettit, to help us support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Grey Bruce by entering one of her original creations  in their Bake for Kids' Sake Challenge.

When I first saw it naked (the cookie, not me)  - I thought it was the planet Pluto and the moon.  Not so!  It was a giant peanut butter cookie with a loonie beside it for scale.  But wait! there's more.

In keeping with the home for the holidays theme, Jody has created a familiar Grey County winter landscape, "painted" in cream cheese icing. 

You can support the wonderful work of Big Brothers Big Sisters in our local community on Jody's fundraising page, and send her good wishes on our Facebook.

And you can create and photograph your own entry in the challenge.  There are prizes for the Creative Genius and Golden Star Award for Fundraising Excellence in each category - Bakers under 16, over 16 and Professional bakers.

Thank you to Jody and to all those who contribute, financially and as mentors and volunteers, to this life-changing program your young people and their families in our region.
