Eye Candy

I am ready to get back to some regular posting, and things are slowing down a little bit around here so I am excited to share some fun stuff this week!

But first I'm going to share some fun cookie pictures from the past week.

I did these sweet monograms for one of my closest friends who is having a baby girl in November. I loved these colors and I never get tired of a cute monogram.

These sweet cookies were for a first wedding anniversary. I made them to match the wedding theme and invitation.

Chevron and Polka dot twos for a sweet friend of Taylor's.

More chevron and Polka dots. I heard from a lot of Razorback fans after I posted this picture on Instagram :). (That was before Saturday's game).

I absolutely loved these cookies and the theme of this party. I always love the red and turqoise together, and I always jump at the chance to do Paisley.

Here is a close up of the paisley pattern. I did a tutorial on this here.

Another sweet monogram for Jillian. I couldn't have picked three better colors.

And last, but definitely not least, "water painted" trees. I did these to match a print that was being used in the baby shower. I'm not going to lie, these took FOREVER. I was seeing dots for a few days after I finished these :). 

I have to share this last picture because its just too funny. One night last week I told Parker to go put a shirt on for dinner, and he came back like this:

Happy Monday!!!

Picture Rundown

I have had a busy past week in the cookie world. I shipped to PA, AL and TX  and because of that I have gotten a little behind on posting pics.  Here are some of the orders from this past week!

I took this pic before I finished their mouths, oops!

CARS!

I am slowly cutting down on the amount of cookie orders I take, and I am excited to have more time to share recipes, tutorials and fun stuff with you!

But for now, we are headed to swim and I am getting my hair done today. AHHHHHHHHH :).

Cherry Blossoms & 7UP Biscuits

I finished off the week with a set of Cherry Blossom cookies for a bridal shower my SIL is helping host. LOVE these colors!

Aren't these colors so pretty together?

I love the way these look all together!

I am finishing up a fun cookie giveaway for tomorrow, so check back and enter!

Last night, I posted a picture of these 7UP biscuits on Instagram and I had a handful of people asking for the recipe, so here it is!

7UP biscuits

Ingredients

2 Cups Bisquick

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup 7UP

1/4 cup butter

Melt half of your butter in a baking dish. A 9 inch pie plate or 8x8 baking dish is ideal, but any size works! Mix your Bisquick and sour cream in a bowl until combined. Add your 7UP.

Sprinkle your counter surface with Bisquick and flatten out your dough to around 1-1 1/2 inches thick. Cut into small squares, place in your pan and bake at 425 degrees for around 8-10 minutes.

If you are having Italian for dinner, sprinkle some Italian seasoning and Parmesan on top before you bake. YUM!

Happy Baking!

Baby Shower and Birthday

Most of my orders were out of town orders last week, so I only had 24 cookies to do over the weekend and it was GREAT! The first set of cookies was for a friend from church who was hosting a baby shower. It was for a baby boy and jungle themed.

I only did 12 cookies so I stuck to the lion and the monkey, and an argyle monogram cookie in the same print as the napkin they used.

I really like these argyle cookies :).

Next set I did was a Hello Kitty set for sweet Ava's 2nd birthday. Ava's mom Cara and I were good friends all through school and I have TONS of good memories with her. I was so happy to do these for her.

I thought these were so sweet, and perfect for a 2 year old little girls birthday!

Lastly, I ship out my first out of town order in the morning for Jaxon who is turning 4! His mom wanted me to replace the S on the Superman symbol with a J and it turned out so cute!

I have another busy week coming up and more recipes to share! Its going to be a fun week!

Playing Catch Up Part 1

I'm back! I was so busy with cookies last week I didn't have a spare second to sit down and blog so now I am playing catch up! I did around 175 cookies last week, so I am so happy to have a few days to catch up around the house and get my garden planted.
I know there is a first time for everything when it comes to the cookies, and I have tried to prepare myself for when those "firsts" happen, but one of them happened last week. I made 40 of these sweet monogrammed cookies for Erin:

I shipped them priority on Tuesday which is 48 hr shipping and.........they never showed up. They also never came back to me. Soooooo, some postman is sitting around eating sugar cookies. To say that I was sick to my stomach is an understatement. Not for myself but for Erin who had a shower planned for today with these cookies. I am SO THANKFUL for how sweet Erin has been through this whole thing. She was so understanding and nice.  So, there is a first time for everything and this was not a good first but I knew it could happen at some point.

I would like to bid my farewell to the USPS and I will now be using Fed Ex or UPS.

Next I did a soccer themed party for the winner of the giveaway from last month.

It was Parker's 3rd birthday and I did these to match some printables his Mom used for the party. I thought these were fun especially since I have a Parker too!

I also did some anniversary cookies for a sweet friend. I grew up with her husband and his family and now he is a coach at the High School I went too. They also have a little boy the same age as Taylor so we run into each other often at KDO. Courtney just told me to do whatever which I LOVE and so I used white, turquoise and red and came up with these.

Happy Anniversary Duane and Courtney!

I'm going to do a separate post with the last three orders from the week. But I have to post a few pics of my sweeties :).

I almost posted a normal picture but then thought........this is normal. Taylor is picking her nose, and Parker is climbing all over me and the swing.

I couldn't leave this one out. This may be the fattest happiest baby on the planet. Look at those cheeks!

I'll be back tomorrow with my last three orders for the week!

*If you have emailed me and I haven't gotten back to you I will in the next couple of days. I'm a little behind on emails, Sorry!

Black and White

My last out of town order for this week was for a black and white wedding shower. I did a simple white cookie with a black scalloped outline and a black monogram.

One thing I have learned in the past 6 months is that people in the South like their Monograms!

I have to say I am one of those people too, I just love the look of a monogram on a cookie!!

Speaking of Monograms, I am getting ready to do my very first giveaway!!!!! I am SO excited about doing this. I am going to be giving away store credit to Elle and Ollie Etsy Shop. For those of you that haven't checked this Etsy shop out GO DO IT!! Kari Beth makes the cutest stuff. I will be doing a separate post with all of the details but I'll leave you with a pic of some of her cuteness :).

Go check out her shop!!!
