Preppy Anchor and Sweet 16 Cookies

What a perfect Sweet 16...

preppy, anchors and a magical age...

 

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...

Monogrammed Old Navy Pajamas

Goosie Girl and I swung into Old Navy yesterday...

and what did our wandering eyes spy...

but the cutest preppy seahorse PJ bottoms...

Did we buy them for ourselves?

Nope...

We bought them (and a matching cami) for Auntie's birthday...

(my sister and Goosie Girl's aunt)...

We took them home and added a festive little monogram...

I mean who doesn't love personalized pjs...right?!...

and voila'...

a perfect gift!

Now...you may start seeing more personalized items other than cookies...

You do know that Sweet Goosie Girl is made up of 

confections ... designs ... celebrations ...  and inspired living...

I'm going to try and branch out a little...

Why not...

You should do what you think about all the time...

and preppy personalized pretties are the top of my list...

Preppy Graduation Cookies

Today is the last day of middle school for Goosie Girl...

I can't believe she will be in high school...

It is seriously scary how fast time goes...

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!

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?

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...

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!

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...

Monogrammed Christmas Stocking Cookies

I've had a hard time coming up with a design that I wanted to use for Christmas...

I look at the other decorators with ALL their festive pretties...

and it's so hard not to compare or doubt yourself sometimes...

Owning your own business is hard!

I love this quote though...

You can't do it all but you can do a few things really well...

So sticking to my core of what I love and am good at...

it's no surprise that I decided to do something with a monogram...

Simple (which I LOVE) yet festive...

They'd look great in any color combo...

And I love how they can be personalized for that special person or people...

So what do you think?

Sleepover Cookies

We sure didn't have fancy cookies like this 

when I went to a sleepover...

These will be perfect for those late night munchies!

NEW! Sweet Goosie Girl Cookie Gift Box

Have you ever wanted to give someone a little gift...

maybe for their birthday...to wish them luck...to say "hope you feel better" or thank you...

that was unique, personalized and inexpensive?

Yeah...me too!

Well...after much thought and many attempts of different ideas...

I have come up with a perfectly packaged cookie gift box...

4 pretty & delicious Sweet Goosie Girl cookies...

all wrapped up and ready to give...

It couldn't be any easier...

or sweeter!

This set is actually being mailed to a reporter for the lovely article she wrote

about Sweet Goosie Girl being in the Emmys Swag Bag...

Since we are approaching Thanksgiving...

I included 2 pink pumpkins with gold stems and 2 "Thankful"

with a note letting her know that I was truly thankful for her writing such a nice article.

Did I mention that they can be shipped straight to the recipient?

What a nice surprise that they can enjoy...

for whatever reason!

Order yours today!

Preppy Pink and Green Octopus Cookies

I know I haven't shared all the things I've learned from my big Emmys job...

It's coming...

These little guys, however, are simple, sweet and super cute...

and even have a little message...

It definitely takes time and discipline to make things happen...

There is no easy solution or shortcut...

Having 8 arms/legs may help but you have to go and do...

Not sit, plan & think...

Going and doing requires energy and hard work...

Dreaming doesn't get you to your end goal...

I think I'm talking more to myself...

I'm constantly having to have that reminder...

(Okay...so there is something that resonated with me during the Emmys process)...

These little pretties would say just START swimming...

Pink/Turquoise Circle Monogram Cookies

I love the simplicity of these...

But at the same time, they make such a statement...
