First Holy Communion

Paige is the youngest of my friend Michele's children and I've literally known her since she was about two days old. Her older brother and sister have already made their first holy communions and this year it was her turn. She looked like a little angel with her white dress and veil. I actually got teary when I saw her walk down the aisle.

Winnie the Pooh Flowers and Butterflies

Okay the title is misleading since technically no Winnie the Pooh in this post. However these butterflies and flower match the Winnie the Pooh crib bedding of a soon to be baby girl. My co-worker is expecting a little girl this summer. It would be a huge understatement to say he's excited. Even though he knows his whole world is about to turn upside down not to mention there's going to be a lot of pink in his future, I know he and his wife are counting down the days until they meets their girl.

Can't wait to meet you Baby Isabella!

He is Risen

I should leave the picture taking to my husband. My patience for a good picture was lacking as evidenced by the pictures in this post. The crosses were inspired by Simple Sweets by Honeybee. She's amazing! Go check out her blog. Seriously, go check it out now.

Business in the Front and Party in the Back

Question: What do you do when your baby has a mullet?

Answer: You throw a rock star themed party for her first birthday.

If you don't know what a mullet is, it's when you have short hair in the front and long hair in the back. Quite stylish.

Do you have a wind turbine cookie cutter?

These are sample cookies I made for my sister-in-law. Last month she emailed me and asked if I had a wind turbine cookie cutter. Now I like to joke that I have every cookie cutter imaginable. The number of cutters in my collection is almost embarrassing. Yet I do not have a wind turbine cutter so I can no longer make that joke. I did search for one after she asked, but the only thing I could come up with was a wind mill cutter from Copper Gifts. I nearly bought it, but I was a little worried that it might be a fragile shape. There's nothing more depressing (at least in the cookie world) than a cookie that breaks easily.

Anyway back to the wind turbine cookies, my sister-in-law works for a company that harvests wind energy. In May, they are dedicating a new wind farm in Oklahoma and about 200 people have been invited to the event. I may be making lots and lots of wind turbine cookies in the near future.
