Sweet Friday - Preppy Pink & Turquoise Starfish Cookies

These preppy pretties will fit right in to my labor day weekend at the beach...

It's hard to believe that this is the last weekend of summer...

Enjoy your holiday weekend!

Pirate Cookies

These treasure seekers were made for a nautical party...

I mean what's an ocean party without pirates?

These would also be perfect for a movie showing of The Goonies...

Remember that movie?

It's one of my favorites!

Preppy Gator and Monogram Cookies

I adore all things preppy...

especially when they are in pink & green Lilly colors...

So when I was contacted by a mom who wanted to do something special for her daughter
who was starting a new school...we came up with these...
Everyone loves a personalized monogram...
Won't her new friends be jealous when she pulls this out of her lunchbox...

And did I mention that her new mascot is the alligator?

Nothing like a little Lilly love to brighten your day!

Important Document Organization

I must admit that when it comes to important documents

like birth certificates, social security cards, insurance information, etc.

I am not very organized...which is terrible!

However...

thank you to Pinterest & All Things Simple ...

I found this simple, ingenious idea to keep everything in a binder...

I don't know why I've never thought of this before...

Brilliant & super easy!

Get a cute binder, tabs, page protectors and voila...

No more searching!

LSU Cookies

It's hard to believe that summer is over

and Fall and football are here...

I love cool, crisp Saturday afternoons with college football on...

It's so homey and comforting...

Don't you think?

I was asked to make these LSU cookies (using the gold & purple) 

for a celebration this Friday...

Next time I'm going to use my traditional circle

and incorporate the gold, purple & white...

Are YOU ready for some football?

Union Jack Flag Cookies

I was asked to make Union Jack cookies for a birthday party...

The navy that is traditionally on the flag was substituted out for the turquoise...

Wouldn't these have been perfect for the Queen's Jubilee or the Olympics?

Perhaps next time...

Sweet Friday - Milk Bottle Cookies

I just adore milk bottles...

the charm they exude with their shape, 

their vintageness & then thinking how they used to be delivered...

I could (and have) spent hours perusing the different ones at antique markets...

So it's no surprise how much I love creating my milk bottle cookies...

This pretty is heading to a birthday party...
I wonder if the guests will ponder its history like I did...
As long as they enjoy it...after all pretty & delicious is what it's about...
Cheers to a wonderful weekend!

33 Ways To Be Creative

Don't you hate it when you get in a creative slump?

You can't think of anything...what you're designing isn't turning out...

We've all been there...
So when I spied this list while perusing Tumblr...
I knew I had to share...

Wednesday's Words

Wishing you a day filled with all of your favorite lovelies...

I'm actually going to be working on cookies that are going out Monday...

Can you believe it...working ahead instead of behind...

And Goosie Girl has to go get her 7th grade shots...

Cheers to a wonderful, productive day!

School Supplies

There is something nostalgic about new school supplies...

It was always so exciting to wander up and down the aisles 

looking for the perfect binder, folders and notebooks...

Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you can't shop for crisp, new supplies...

After all, the start of school is kind of like New Year's...

Here is what my school supply list would consist of...

Of course new pencils and paper...

A completely styled first day outfit...

A new planner...

and a roomy tote to carry everything in...

What would be on your back to school supply list?

First Day Back For Teachers vs Entrepreneurship

I have to say that it is pretty weird sitting here as I type this...

not to have to rush around getting ready for school...

This is the first day back for teachers...

and it's 7:30am and I'm still in my pj's...

Up to this point nothing had really changed
because it was summer...

But sitting here today thinking of what my day would be at school...

vs what my day is going to be like doing Sweet Goosie Girl...

I definitely made the right decision...
God has truly blessed me!
