I do....

Ah, summer. Time for beaches, relaxing, swimming, camp, and lots and lots of weddings! G and I will be celebrating our 15th anniversary on July 4. Fifteen years! I can't believe it!

I had a few wedding related cookie orders recently, and I hope the recipients loved them and had beautiful weddings! Much love to them all!

Here's a little order that the sister-in-law ordered for the bride and her 3 bridesmaids. I normally don't do such a small order, but I thought it was really sweet of her to want to do that for the girls so of course I said yes!

For another couple, the adorable mother-of-the-groom ordered the bride and groom hearts for their rehearsal dinner and the "B" initial hearts for the wedding. I forgot to take formal pictures of these, so please excuse the cell phone pic.

I wish both couples much love and happiness! 

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

I love baseball. The ballpark, the peanuts, the players..... I think it started in 1986 when my parents and grandparents took us to our first MLB game. Mets vs. Padres, if I recall. They dragged my sister and me kicking and screaming, but we were hooked immediately. The Mets won the World Series that year and I've been waiting for them to repeat that ever since (much to the amusement of my Yankees-fan-husband).

The only team I like watching better than my Mets is my son's baseball team. Our weekends may be long, but I love hanging out at the park watching him play.

This year was the first year that I wasn't able to make cookies for his team because I had so many other orders. He understood, and I promised him I'd make sure his team made the schedule next year.

Here are a few of the orders that prevented his team from getting cookies....

For the Black Sox in Michigan, personalized jerseys and baseballs:

For the Germantown Rays here in TN:

Let's go Mets! :)

Happy Father's Day!

I'm lucky to have great dads in my life. Happy Father's Day to my dad who has been a great role model for me my whole life. You've taught me well and I couldn't ask for a better Dad.

Happy Father's Day to my hubby, too, who is an amazing Dad to our kiddos. We appreciate all you do for us!

Although the fathers in my life weren't lucky enough to get cookies, I did have time to do one Father's Day cookie order. These were totally custom cookies for a cool dad who likes cycling. His daughter sent me pictures of his 2 favorite bikes and his 3 favorite cycling jerseys and asked me to turn them into cookies. They were a labor of love, but I think they turned out pretty cool!

Happy Father's Day, Bob, and thanks for the creative order, Renee! (And thanks to Bob for allowing me to use his pictures on the blog!)

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! Have a wonderful day!

Custom Gift Boxes

Do you only need a few cookies to give as a gift? Consider a personalized gift box. Each box can hold 4-8 cookies depending on their sizes, and they range in price from about $12 to $25 depending on the amount of detail and personailzation.

Here are a few I did recently. The Detroit Tigers box was an end-of-the-year thank you gift for a teacher, and the Michigan Tech box was for a recent high school graduate who will be heading off to college in the fall.
