Goodie Cookie

    Shopping for a hostess gift or a thank you for a

friend?  Nancy Goodspeed hopes you'll think of

Goodie Cookie.

    Goodspeed recently started the business selling

baking gift kits, with themes to celebrate the seasons, holidays and lifestyles.  She began by selling her giant

pizza-size cookie kits on eBay and expanded her

success with a virtual store on the Web.  By the

first of the year she hopes to sell the kits through

direct sales representatives at home parties.

    In addition to the pizza cookie kits, Goodspeed

is also selling a "toys and treats" kit for the pup (or

dog lover) in your life.  It includes recipes and

instructions for healthy treats to bake for your dog,

along with a flying disc and aqua toy. There are also

holiday-themed kits that include a baking sheet,

cookie cutter, towel and instructions and recipes.

    Goodspeed was Spokane's first news anchorwoman           at KHQ-TV from 1975 through 1984.  She also worked

in public relations in Spokane for many years as a  spokeswoman for businesses including Avista Corp.,     Packet Engines and River Park Square.  She now

lives in Helena.

    Goodspeed says it's exciting to be promoting a

business  of her own.  The kits are $13.95 plus

shipping and make it to most homes in 2 days. "Everybody is busy

and we're always looking for something different to give as a gift.

This is easy enough kids can make it or Dads can make it with

their kids," Goodspeed said.
