Fourth of July Cookies!

I have been waiting and waiting to show you these cookies.

WAITING!!!!
(I'm not good at waiting)
(not even a little)

But I finally said....That's it!!!
I'm not waiting anymore!


YAY!!!!!!

Here they are!!!

Happy Summer!!!

Right before Memorial Day I spotted these fabulous printables 
by Amy at Living Locurto.

Aren't they Beautiful!

She made them especially for members of her site.

As soon as I saw them I couldn't start mixing colors fast enough.




I was happy and smiling the whole time I made these.




The colors are perfect.
The touch of pale green makes the red even redder.




Love the font.
...and the cute little flowers.




I added a little blue bird of happiness...




'cause they made me happy.
(I don't think Amy will mind...)

I hope you like them too!




YAY!!!

(oh my goodness, I'm so happy I don't have to wait anymore...whew!)

Here are some more fun summer cookies to peek at!

Flower Cookie Round-up for May Day!

Happy May Day Everyone!

One of my favorite childhood classroom memories would be making
 May Day baskets in Mrs. Beam's third grade class.  

The baskets were brown construction paper and the flowers were brightly colored tissue.
We spent quite a few days making them, 
and then on May 1st we secretly left them on a neighbors porch as a surprise.

Since I can't leave flowers on all of your doorsteps, 
I thought I'd bring a round-up of my favorite flower cookies to your internet porch!

Enjoy!

Happy May Day!

Surfboard Cookies!


Confession time....



I have never been on a surfboard.

I've lived in Southern California since the age of 7.
A good portion of those years were spent in a town that actually had the word 'beach' in it.









I don't think I've ever lived more than 20 minutes from the ocean....even during college.









Oh wait!

There was the year and a half that Joe and I lived in Texas right after we were married.

We were completely landlocked....
and I developed a strange obsession with lighthouses.

Seriously.

I bought lighthouse ornaments, plates, pictures, placemats, puzzles....very strange.








But then we moved home and the lighthouses were packed away.

But I still haven't been on a surfboard.



And I'm pretty okay with that.

The Pacific Ocean is cold!

I'm more of a 
'watch the waves while sipping a coconutty cocktail'
kind of a girl.



I'm also a sucker for a good beach movie...




A little love....some moonlight....a song or two.

Fabulous!!!!

Disney's new movie didn't have Elvis, but it was still pretty cute!






If you'd like to see how all these surfboards and flowers were turned into a super cute 
Disney Teen Beach Movie stop by Pink Peppermint Prints!

She even has great printables!!!






Our family will be leaving for an island vacation soon.

Maybe I'll finally get on a surfboard!







Okay, fine....we all know that won't happen.

I'll be the lady with the big ole sun hat, sitting in a lounge chair next to the pool, 
holding a fruity drink with an umbrella.


But I'll also have a fabulous view of the ocean!!!!


Here are some more fun beachy cookies!

Tropical Flower Cookies!





I have Hawaii on the brain lately.

Tropical drinks, suntan lotion, gorgeous sunsets.....

so I made some tropical flowers to go with my daydreams!



When readers ask me how to start decorating cookies,

or what shape to start with,

I usually suggest these wet-on-wet Hibiscus flowers.




They only require two colors, come together super quickly,

and because there isn't really a 'right way' to do them,

a beginner can get really great results!




The basic instructions are the same as the wet-on-wet tutorial I posted for Fall Leaf Cookies.

(You can see that HERE)

Except, I used a sand dollar cookie cutter, not a leaf.
That would have been weird.

You can find that cutter here...

The leaves....




are from the Wilton Set of 3 Leaf Cut Outs.

My all-time, favoritist, can't-live-without-them, leaf cutters!

You can find them here

Wilton Set of 3 Leaf Cut Outs
You can also find them just about anywhere that has a Wilton Cake Decorating aisle
(Michaels, Jo-Ann's, Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby etc.)




Happy Daydreams everybody!
Now if I could only find a hammock.....
