My Little Sister is 20

Where does time go?

It makes me feel old to say that, but really.....when did my long-haired, dancing, school playing, Rugrat watching little sister grow up? In my mind she will forever be about 7 years old. Sorry Jordyn, that may never change.

She is now grown up. She's smart, funny, driven, and knows what she wants. We celebrated her birthday BIG this year. WHY? I couldn't tell you. I guess we should celebrate every year of life....that's my excuse for spending way too much money on presents and way too much time on cookies. Birthdays should be celebrated. I mean, you only turn 20 once.

These cookies were Lilly Pullitzer inspired.

(my FAVORITE!)

Happy 20th Jordyn Renee.

Boy Baby (and twins!)

It's baby shower time again (I've yet to figure out why ALL baby showers are in the spring). I love the cookies and the colors.

I'm starting to sell cookies by the tray. The tray below is a small tray (approximately 12 cookies) and is $20. Some cookie trays will vary in price depending on the size and detail of the cookies.

The next cookies were baby shower favors. The mom-to-be is having twins.

Most people wonder why cookie orders take so long (and why I need so much advanced notice). After I make the dough, refrigerate the dough, roll out the dough and cut into shapes, freeze the shapes, bake the shapes........THEN I start decorating. The decorating is at least a 2 day process!
