One Direction Cookies

Don't judge...

But I have to admit that I really do like One Direction...

And aren't these just perfect for a One Direction party...

Sweet 16 Cookies

Pretties for a sweet 16 party...

Goosie Girl has already informed us that she wants a sweet 16 party...

Her details (that she's been kind enough to share) sound more like a wedding reception than a teenage party...

Two more years until we have to cross that bridge...

Until then we can just admire these...

Single Letter Monogram Cookies

Here it is Monday again...

After a nice relaxing weekend...

(I was in my pj's by 8pm on Saturday)

it's time to get back at it...

What's on your agenda this week?

Horse, Horseshoe & Monogram Cookies

These seemed fitting for a Friday...

Time to unwind and have some fun...

Happy Weekend!

Classic Navy & Yellow Personalized Cookies

These are just my traditional cookies that I absolutely adore doing...

Simple..classy...perfect for the young & old...

A classic that never goes out of style...

Personalized Anchor Cookies

Anchors were the first cookies I ever sold on Etsy...

I sure have learned a lot since then...

Last year's motto ended up being "fly by the seat of your pants"...

I didn't set out to choose this...

it just kind of happened...

This year as I'm trying to be more intentional & focused...

(DEFINITELY a work in progress...two steps forward...one step back)

I'm ready to become better...

Last year was hurry up and get it done...

This year I'm trying to really do my best when I decorate...

I want to get back to learning new techniques...

That went by the wayside...

I want to improve upon what I already know how to do...

I don't want to become stagnant...

As Ina Garten says "I'm going to turn up the volume"...

God blessed me with a talent and I need to use it to bring glory to him...

Slow & steady AND progress not perfection!

Have a great day!

Single Letter Monogram Alice in Wonderland Tea Cup Cookies

Initial tea/coffee cups are the latest rage...

Take a peek in Anthropologie and C Wonder and you will find many different styles...

I mean who doesn't love personalization?

It definitely makes your drink a little more tasty...don't you think?

Even Alice and the Mad Hatter agree...

Blue Whales and Single Letter Monogram Cookies

Didn't I just say I was leaving for a cruise?

And I'm already back?

How is that possible?

I was really hoping to get shipwrecked on Castaway Cay...

and forced to a life of laying in a hammock...

Obviously that didn't happen...

but these fit right in to my dream...

of being stranded and forced to succumb to island life...

and with a little sense of humor added in...

Under the Sea Cookies

Well these little guys are quite appropriate for today...

The family and I are off heading off on a Disney Cruise...

We love to take one this time of year...

after the holidays...

when you can truly relax and enjoy...

No internet connections...no phone service...

I think they secretly do this to force you to disconnect...

Whatever!  Works for me...

Remember, vacations are important to recharge!

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Crab Cookies

I made these for a Lemon & Lime Event baby shower...

They are amazing event planners in the Maryland area...

and I always love to see their eyecandy...

It's funny when I hear people say that social media sites like Facebook & Instagram 

are toxic, full of drama & fake...

They must follow the wrong people!

I'm inspired daily, in all areas of life, whenever I visit those sites...

I get to interact and collaborate with like minded people...

It challenges me...not because I feel like I have to keep up with them...

but because I want to be better than I was yesterday...

I learn from people, see ideas, ways of doing things that I hadn't thought of 

and just good ole fashion life...

What's wrong with that?

It's how I met Katey from Lemon & Lime Events!

I'm blessed to have inspiration galore at the tip of my fingers!

Happy Tuesday!

Gender Reveal Cookies

How can I already be behind when the new year just started?

I keep telling myself...progress not perfection...just get things done!

So, in an attempt, to catch up on posting pics...

Here are pink and blue question marks for a gender reveal party...

The New Year and Martini Cocktail Cookies

Well hello 2014!

How did you get here so fast?

I haven't even had time to sit down and do my Goal Setting 2014 with Lara Casey...

I do know my word that I will be focusing on this year...

Intention...

I'm so tired of just surviving and flying by the seat of my pants...

I don't operate well that way...

The teacher in me likes to have lesson plans 

detailing all the events that need to be covered...

having all the copies made, cut out, etc.

I've realized it's the same thing with a business...

You don't have to be crazy all the time...

It definitely takes work to make those lesson plans...

But once their done, the week goes so much smoother...

You actually end up having more time because you're not scrambling...

It's all a work in progress...

But remember changing or tweaking what you don't want/like requires action...

not talking about it...not thinking about it...not praying about it...

it requires doing...just start somewhere!

Cheers to 2014 and doing things with intention!
