It's Graduation Time

I can't believe it's already May!  

Only 21 school days left...insert squeal...

What preppy princess wouldn't love 

to have these Lilly inspired cookies gracing her table at graduation?

Preppy Pumpkin Cookies

I am just loving these preppy pumpkins...

They are one of my favorites...

 On another note...

I am getting ready to participate in a little Fall Festival...

show casing monogram and embroidery items...

I can't wait to show you the finished products!

Pink & Green Elephant Cookies and A More Organic Way Of Thinking

I've taken a sort of hiatus from blogging lately...
I guess you could say I've had some changes in thinking...
My family jokingly says I'm teetering on the radical side...
They say I just need to start wearing Birkenstocks, 
move to the Washington/Oregon area and throw on a tree hugger t-shirt...
I can't help it...
I've tried to become organic in more ways than one...

I have become radical in the area of food...
I don't even know how it happened...
One post got me clicking to another and then I'm ordering books and doing research...
When I spout off a fact, Goosie Girl asks if I got that from Suzy Q on the internet...
haha sassy girl...
I wouldn't say any of it is rocket science...
more like common sense...
just not what we are conditioned to think like...
I've come to the conclusion that I don't need to think like the masses...
So I've decided to take a more organic approach to blogging 
where I can still share pretties but infuse some other insight as well...
I hope you'll continue to join me for more of life's pretty and delicious with a slight twist...

Lilly Pulitzer Shift Dress Cookies and The Masters

The Masters...

The most coveted golf tournament...

Steeped in tradition...beautiful scenery...pimento cheese sandwiches...

Just a few things that I'm going to indulge in...

I'm so excited to be heading up to Augusta today...

I worked hard to get Sweet Goosie Girl things done...

so I can enjoy and not be completely overwhelmed when I get back...

Lilly would be the perfect attire to wear...

However, I'm going to opt for sleeves this time...

Maybe a green jacket?

Pink & Green Lilly Inspired Turtle Cookies

Slow and steady wins the race...

I'm always having to remind myself of this...

Most of the time I'm hurry, hurry and then I become exhausted...

Consistency is the key...

Continuously working at improving is what to strive for...

and it helps to add some pink & green to the mix too!

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...

Pink & Green Christmas Cookies

These little pretties were actually made to coordinate with the decor of a house

for a Christmas party...

Of course, being pink & green, puts them right up my alley...

Kentucky Derby Horseshoe Cookies

The Kentucky Derby...

Running for the roses...

Donned as the most exciting 2 minutes in sports...

With a husband who is from Louisville...

 the watching of the derby is a big event in our household...

And these Lilly inspired horseshoe cookies would be the perfect accessory

for any derby party...

Single Monogram Cookies

More monogram love to share today...
The single letter done in Lilly inspired colors...

I would just love to do monogrammed cookies all day...

They say...

and monograms fire me up...
They're my nitch...they're what I'm super good at...they're what I love...
So I need to find a way to make it happen...
I mean look how cute they are...

and done in preppy Lilly colors...
sigh...
Perfect for all holidays...
Look how well they match...

Here's to a Tuesday filled with making things happen!

Pink/Green Monogram Cookies

My Lilly inspired monograms have been quite popular...

I mean who doesn't love pink, green & personalized?

These were actually a gift from a daughter to a Mom for a birthday surprise...

I packaged the two designs in one bag...
and tied them up with a bow...

and included the sweetest note...
telling the Mom to share the cookies with her friends...
just like the Mom always told the daughter 
to do with her friends when she was growing up...
Isn't that SO special?
Here's to a Monday filled with childhood traditions!
