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 :).

Getting Back in the Swing of Things

We are slowly getting back into a normal routine after two weeks of weddings, birthday parties, and ending the craziness with Mothers Day. Even though we had a lot happening, it was all fun stuff and we had a really special couple of weeks!
My little sisters wedding was BEAUTIFUL and couldn't have been more perfect. She had all of her neices and nephews in the wedding, and they all did exactly what they were supposed to and it was adorable!

The kids sat and played so patiently in the bridal suite while they were waiting for the wedding to start.

Taylor was bumming food of of Elle here. Aren't these dresses the sweetest things ever?!

Parker thinks Regan and Riley (my big sister's twins) hung the moon. I love the kids having sweet cousins to grow up with, the five of them together is quite the party!

And of course a picture of the bride. Doesn't she look gorgeous! Her dress was so pretty. My parents married their last daughter off and their bank account is rejoicing :).

We ended the weekend with Mothers Day and we had a nice, relaxing day of doing nothing. It was great!

I am so blessed God chose me to be their Mom. I couldn't be crazier about them!

Jason also got me a mothers ring for mothers Day. I have wanted one for a while, and he surprised me with it on my birthday (May 10th). I LOVE it!

Peyton's name is on the other side :).

With the end of all of our fun stuff came the beginning of another week of cookies!

I started off the week with a set of elephant and chevron cookies for a sweet baby girl.

and another set of CARS cookies!

I really love these guys. By the time I am ready to ship them off I feel like they are my friends, ha!

I am back on my busy cookie schedule so I will be posting some more fun ones this week!

Catch Up Part 2

I sat down with my computer for the first time all week yesterday and was shocked to see that my cookies had been featured on The Nester's blog. WOW!!! It was a fun surprise and I am so honored!!! If you haven't checked her blog out (which I'm sure you have because she has a gazillion readers), go check it out!! It is awesome!

Onto the cookies......
My last three orders were fun ones. Courtney (not the same Courtney that ordered Anniversary cookies) contacted me about doing some Airplane cookies for her little boy Titus that was turning 2. Courtney's Dad works for Delta Airlines and Titus has taken up a true love for airplanes and anything Delta. She also sent me a pic of the T shirt Titus was going to wear for his party.

I wanted to make the cookie similar to the plane on the tshirt so I drew the plane onto cardstock, cut it out, and used it to hand cut the cookies into the same shape as the airplane on the t.

I used the same colors as the t to decorate them, and added the Delta logo to the front.

Courtney also wanted some "2's," so I thought it would be so cute to make them look like a runway.

Happy birthday sweet Titus!!

Next up is a sweet Monogram themed set of cookies for baby Carlisle. I was really excited to do these because I went to High School with Carlisle's daddy. They wanted gray and pink, monograms and baby's name. I was also asked if I could incorporate the pattern of Carlisle's baby bedding. I took all of this info with the fact that Faith (Carlisle's Mom) has a simple and sweet taste, and came up with these:

I painted the same pattern of the bedding onto the gray cookie and added baby's name in pink. I also did a pink and white Chevron with a gray initial, and a round pink cookie with a white monogram. I love the feel of these cookies! Sweet, simple and baby girl!

And of course a couple of special cookies for big brother Jones.

Congrats Will, Faith and Jones on the newest addition!!!

Last up is a set of cookies for a Rock Star themed baby shower. David is a pastor at my church and he and his wife Rachel are INCREDIBLE musicians. They are not finding out the gender of the baby so I tried to match the cookies to the theme of the shower without being too girly or to boyish.

Guitars, onesies, music notes, rattles, metallic stars. these were fun and very different from anything I have done before. I was told to make them "glitzy" and fun. I used metallic star sprinkles on the ratlles to tie in the star theme.

I was happy to be a part of celebrating sweet baby McKinney and I can't wait to meet him or her!!

This week is full of fun Easter cookies and cupcakes! Check back for some fun posts!
