Flower Picture Frames

I was perusing through some old Goosie Girl posts

and came across this idea which I still love...

Flower picture frames...

What's so wonderful about them besides their preciousness

is that they are super easy to make...

All you need is a frame of your choice...a mat (more like scrapbook paper)

flowers...hot glue...and any other embellishment you'd like to add...

These would be perfect for a multitude of things...
a nursery, an office, a backdrop for a dessert table, a gift, favors,

place settings (make a mini version)...

Happy Crafting!

Tuesday's Thoughts

I'm off to school...

We are taking our big standarized test, the FCAT this week...

Today, my class has no testing but we have to be quiet

because other classes around us are testing...

So that means...

all day...YAY me!

I'm going to do some Sweet Goosie Girl work...

What about you?  What are you doing today?

Anchor Cookie Wedding Favors

Oh. My. Goodness.

These little pretties about did me in...

Not the cookies themselves but the having to work two jobs part...

These still were a big order but if I hadn't had school to contend with...

they would have been a breeze...

(note to self...only 36 more school days and then no more...only Sweet Goosie Girl)

I truly feel for people who work more than one job!

I was getting up extra early...decorating for an hour or so before school...

going to school and teaching all day...

and then coming home and working until 9:00 or so each night...

Sorry...I'm whining...

Who cares now!  I'm done!  YAY!

And they turned out perfectly!

You can't appreciate the gold luster dust on the dots but it's very pretty in person...

They have a classy metallic sheen...

They are all packaged up and nestled in their box...

(or should I say boxes)

waiting to be snuggled in yet another box for their journey...

Anchors Away!

Best wishes to Kassen!  

Thank you for letting Sweet Goosie Girl be a part of your special day!

Wednesday

It's back to school after being off "sick" (wink, wink) for the past two days...

I don't want to go though...

If I was off today too, I could get all my cookies done...

Cookie Preparations

As I have been mentioning...

I have a very large order of cookies (300) to make, decorate, package and send out...

This is my largest order to date and hopefully the first of many...

I tried to be very organized in the preparation to be as efficient as possible...

First I lined all my pans with parchment...

(I love my little cookie rack...such a good investment)

Then I moved on to the ingredients...

I learned from some fabulous cookie guru (although I can't recall which one)

to assemble your drys together in a ziplock so they are ready to go...

I can't tell you what a help that is...

I then pour it into my trusty, favorite blue bowl...

I also love to have a bowl to crack my eggs into...

and a bowl for my extracts...

plus I move my garbage can right beside me so I can ditch items as I go...

My sweet Spooky came to check on me...

saw I was doing fine and went to rest on the back of the couch 

where he knows he's not suppose to be...

Once all my dough was made it was on to rolling out...

(which is good upper body exercise...I'm sore today)...

I like to roll my dough out in between two sheets of parchment

and this little flour shaker that I purchased at an antique shop has been a godsend...

And then...voila...the finished products...

60 little pretties are in tupperware because this rack only holds 240...

And there you have it...

Did you notice my bouquet of tulips that are in every pic...

Left over from Easter and they were too pretty not to share...

The decorating starts today...

Photography Cookies

I was contacted by the amazingly talented photographer LeAnna Fisher

to possibly team up...
(how exciting!)

and help her show gratitude to her clients...

by sending them a little gift of cookies...
This is a sampling of what I came up with using her logo...

Cookies are perfect way to say thank you...
Who doesn't love sweet treats?!

remembering the new beginnings that we were blessed with...

attending church in your new Easter pretties...


enjoying a fabulous dinner with the ones you love...

admiring the eggs that you colored...

and perhaps enjoying a sweet treat or two...
