dave's (hockey) buddy kyle got married a few weekends ago.

the hockey stick tunnel was dave's idea.

(why we didn't have this at our wedding... i am not sure.)

 the new mr. and mrs.

lilly felt soooo special that megan let her hold her bouquet!

and just to prove i was there :)

sweet day also made an appearance....

(this was our gift to the newlyweds :)

megan and kyle had the most amazing photographer!!

britt lakin.

congratulations kyle and megan!

lori, come on down!!

my uncle emailed a few weeks ago about a special custom cookie order.

you see, his wife (my aunt lori), was taped as a contestant on The Price Is Right!

and it's airing tomorrow!!! tuesday, april 19th.

 so he ordered cookies to surprise her with.

to take to school and share with her students.

isn't he the sweetest?

(and she was sooooo excited to see these cookies)

(and that made me smile ;)

i can honestly say that i have never been so excited
to watch some mid day TV as i am right now :)

 congrats aunt lori!!

can't wait to see you in all your glory ;)

(now... go check and see when the show is on so you can watch too!!)

i was commissioned by a great friend's step-mom to make four dozen 

special order white peacock sugar cookies for a bridal shower.

here is what i came up with :)

 the white peacock and i are best friends now :)

(we were up till the wee hours together.)

i am very very excited. so very excited.

what's another business... right?

(these cookies made for my moms2moms group this past week)

 (over 100 made. under 8 brought home.)

now i just need a name for me little bakery.

my mind is going.
and it's borrowing the talented minds of others for inspiration :)

we got to meet 2 babies recently :)

first up.  isaac.

jillian's parents are our old neighbors.

and now lesley is one of my great friends :)

we visited the new little lady in the hospital.

and took a meal to them a few weeks later.

(i LOVE doing that for families with new babies!!)

id been wanting to try out this buggy cookie cutter.

what better reason than to take some to a new baby.

jillian loved them, i'm sure ;)

don't worry. isaac got some dessert too.

ice cream cake.

(pics and tutorial coming sooner. or later.)

leftover frosting

what do you do when you have leftover frosting?

why... make more cookies, of course!

(with your new cookie cutter.)

(from laurie's mom!! how sweet is that?)

and that spur of the moment 'let's make cookies' came just in time.

cause your husband might email you saying the office requests some jen cookies.

the leftover frosting was from a football themed cookie order :)

from laurie ;)

for her oldest son, brady.  who is 7.

how in the world did that happen?

 yay for sugar cookies!
