Back to school!

I can't believe it's already back-to-school time, and it still feels like it's 200 degrees outside. It just seems all wrong. I am excited about it being back-to-school time, however, because it means that hopefully cooler weather is somewhere in the future. Distant future, but I'll take it! I was also super-excited when my friend Alison asked me to make some school-themed cookies for her daughter's first day of school. I had been wanting to make some and I was so happy to have the chance! I got a lot of ideas from Sugarbelle (of course) and Flickr too.

Of course a back-to-school set must include apples :)

The finished platter!

Thanks Alison!!! I hope the teachers love them :)

Welcome Baby!

Welcome Baby Katelyn! These cookies were delivered to a new little addition this weekend. Well... to her parents of course. Hope they enjoy. Made with love

Superheroes

You know, I never know if I am spelling that correctly or not......I consider myself a pretty good speller but that word gets me every time. Is it 'superheroes' or 'superheros' or 'super heros' or something else entirely? Oh well, since I can't figure it out, I'll just go ahead and post some pictures of them, however they're spelled! :)

My friend Alissa from high school asked for a dozen SH (much better!), and a dozen J's and 1's for a little birthday boy. Here they are :)

Alissa let me have creative liberty with the letters and numbers, so to some I added little designs, and to the others I simply put sanding sugar. I love sanding sugar :)

Thank you so much Alissa!! It was so good to see you again! :)

Birthday cookies

One of my mom's friends at work, Kim, wanted me to make five dozen cookie favors for her grandmother's 80th birthday party, all in bright colors. I loved how they turned out :)

I added sanding sugar to the middle of the flowers

More sanding sugar on a few of the Fs--I love that stuff :)

I just had to show my new containers that I ordered for the cookie bites--I love these!

Thank you so much Kim!! It was so nice to finally meet you! :)

Birthday cookies

My good friend Darci ordered cookies for her daughter's birthday--leopard print circles (I love leopard print anything!), 'P's for the birthday girl's name, and guitars, all in light pink and chocolate brown. I love those colors.

I forgot to take a picture of the leopard-print circles, but they were pretty cute, too :)

Here is one of the guitars.....

We also did a plate of cookie bites for the adults! :)

Thanks Darci!!! And happy birthday to your sweet girl!!! :)
