Preppy Anchor and Sweet 16 Cookies

What a perfect Sweet 16...

preppy, anchors and a magical age...

 

Gender Reveal Anchor Cookies

Anchors have taken over lately...

That's all I've been doing...

I suppose it's the time of year...

I thought this was a super cute idea for a gender reveal...

Summer BBQ Cookies

It's officially summer in our house...

Who's ready for a BBQ?

Navy Pink Personalized Anchor Cookies

In keeping with the anchor theme this week...

(although I didn't plan it)...

we have these pretties that were favors for a rehearsal dinner...

U.S. Navy Cookies

I was so honored to make these cookies for an officer 

retiring from the Navy after 25 years of service...

I have the utmost respect for the military...

as well as police officers & firefighters...

Protecting and serving day in and day out...

And let's be real...NOT for the money...

It disgusts me that they get paid so little for such great service...

And then you look at a sports figure/musician/actor...

and the amount they get paid for no selfless act...

So THANK YOU soldiers, police & firefighters for all you do for us!

Personalized Nautical Cookies

I made 170 of these pretties for a baby christening...

Mom wanted them personalized with the Greek version of the baby's name

hence Georgios...greek for George...

I love how they turned out...

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!

Anchor and Monogram Cookies

These fancies are going to be displayed on a dessert table

at a wedding reception in Maryland...

Cheers to the bride and groom!

Navy/Pink Lilly Pulitzer Inspired Cookies

These are the favors I made for a Sweet 16 party...

Pure preppy prettiness!

Nautical Baby Shower Cookies

I loved making these pretties for a baby shower...

Anchors and personalized...

What could be better?

July 4th Necessities

The perfect items to include in your celebration today...

Happy 4th of July!

Red, White, Blue Anchor and Single Monogram Cookies

Aren't these preppy pretties the perfect way to start the month of July?

Navy And Pink

I've been lazy lately downloading the pictures that I've taken of my cookies...

But these...

I had to make happen...

I'm smitten with them...

Perhaps because they are Sweet Goosie Girl's colors...

or maybe because they are monogrammed...

or possibly because they have preppy anchors...

How about all of the above...

Monograms and Anchor Cookies For Stacy Brown Designs

I just adore Stacy Brown!

You may have known her as Preppy and Pink...

(do these precious hand painted monogrammed bangles ring a bell?)

However, she has just launched her new site called Stacy Brown Designs...

You must pop over...it's amazing!

Anyway...I've been making logo cookies for her for awhile now...

And her sister-in-law contacted me to do cookies for her baby shower...

Well of course!  I'd be honored!

The theme was monograms and anchors...

Pure pretty preppiness!
