Going to the Chapel

So after 4 months of dating, and 3 months of being engaged, my little sister is getting married in less than two weeks! This past weekend was her big wedding shower, and it was so fun.

The future Mrs. Baccus :)

I LOVED this! Such a cute idea.

Peach, Plum, and Rusty orange are her wedding colors. Very nontraditional and SO pretty together!

Me, the bride to be, and my oldest sister.

(I look 10 ft tall because I have big heels on)

And of course I had to make some cookies because I can't help myself. :)

Congrats Stephen and Whitney, we love you both very much!

*Don't forget to enter the giveaway!!!!!! I will draw the winner Friday.

More Cookies and Monterey Chicken

I am so grateful and humbled at all of the sweet texts, calls, emails and messages I have gotten from my post about Peyton. It is so amazing to me how Peyton has influenced so many lives in his short life. I am blessed to be his Mom! So, THANK YOU to everyone who responded :).

Back to some cookies :). I started off last week with a cute order for Alex's first birthday. His Mom sent me some pics of the party decorations and told me what she was thinking and we ended up with this cuteness:

She used a bunting, and cupcake toppers exactly like these so I thought it would be cute to match the cookie to the topper. These went to Brooklyn, NY and I wanted very badly to stick myself in the box and go with them! :)

I also did some more cute owls....

A baby shower.........

which included more Chevron....

and these flowers to match the invite.....

I ended the week with an "alien and eyeball" party. This stuff was so fun. I did these for a sweet friend who I have known for forever! My camera was MIA so these are iphone pics. Sorry :(.

(My hubby later found my camera in Parkers room. He was polishing up on his photography skills I guess.)

I did 3 dozen cupcakes with this order too, I am loving the nut cups that everyone is using!!!

Lastly, I love Pinterest and find a lot of my dinner recipes off of there. I saw a recipe for Monterey Chicken last week and needed something quick and easy so I tried it. Everyone loved it so I will definitely be making it again!

Monterey Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup bar-b-que sauce

1/4 cup real bacon bits

1 c. colby jack cheese, shredded

1 14 oz. can Rotel tomatoes, drained

(canned with green chiles added)

sliced green onions

pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pound out chicken breasts to flatten (I used presliced thin). Season with pepper. Grill chicken until no longer pink and place on a baking sheet covered with foil. Top each chicken breast with one Tbs bar-b-que sauce, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/4 c tomatoes, green onions and one Tbs of bacon bits. Place in oven and bake until cheese is melted (about 5 minutes).

*I used presliced chicken breasts, and I used more cheese than the recipe calls for. I omitted green onions because I have some picky eaters :).

Owls and Flowers

I'm sorry I didn't get this posted yesterday like I said, we were busy celebrating my Dad's birthday all day. I could not ask for a better Dad, so Happy (belated) Birthday Dad!!!

I started off the week with 3 fun orders, Owls & Chevron, flowers, and a tea party theme. I am sad to say that I didn't get a pic of the tea party but I have another one this weekend so I promise to take a lot of pics. I did get good pics of the other two orders so here they are!

I get a TON of orders for these owls. These are for a sweet new baby girl!

Welcome sweet Ellen Jane!!!

I also did a fun flower set for a sweet girl who wanted to surprise her Mom with something special after she had surgery. I thought some flowers would be bright and cheerful.

I used the same colors as the owl order and added some yellow. I also used sanding sugar in the middle of the flowers to give them some texture. I'm looking forward to doing more of these!

I have a fun and exciting order coming up. I was contacted by Stephanie to do some cookies for one of her clients who is doing a photo contest. The cookies are going to be so cute so check back Friday for a pic!! But until then I have a "black and white" order that I will be posting tomorrow.

We are gearing up for some flash flooding in our area and I am NOT looking forward to it! The last time this happened the entire highway by our house was shut down. There's just something about being trapped at home that makes you feel like you need to leave ASAP. I have a hair appointment tomorrow so I may be rowing there but I'm not missing it! :)
