Good-bye EG, Hello U of I


Graduation season continues. . . this weekend we are celebrating the achievements of a family friend. It was fun to have the opportunity to visit an old friend, the Grenadier.

Since Dorothy is planning to attend the University of Illinois, I made some t-shirt cookies that were hidden at the bottom of the tray.

Celebrating a Silver Anniversary




My niece, Kelly, and her husband, Bucket (aka-- Scott), are celebrating their Silver Anniversary.  Since my family is big on "traditions"--Lamb Cakes at Easter, Grab Bags at Christmas, Cheesy Potatoes, Cheesecake. . . I have decided to make the vintage car cookie my "traditional" anniversary cookie.





In addition,  I hand cut Stargazer Lilly cookies, to represent the beautiful floral bouquets that Kelly's Mom made for the wedding party.


When I made the surprise cookie delivery, Kelly told me that the car reminded her of the figurine that she had on top of her cake.  Ooops--I had completely forgotten about it.  Big dresses and Precious Moments, so much a part of that era.



Love, Hugs and Cookies to a very special couple.

Hats Off to Logan


HATS OFF to my great-nephew, Logan, as he celebrates his high school graduation.



HATS OFF to Logan, my hero, for facing the medical challenges he encountered during high school with grace, dignity, and humor.  He showed maturity beyond his years and opted to attend classes even when he wasn't feeling his best.


HATS OFF to Logan, for accepting the challenge of rigorous courses.



HATS OFF to Logan, for his participation in school activities.


 HATS OFF to Logan, for winning the, You Make A Difference, award so many times that I have lost count.



 Love, hugs and cookies to a 
very special guy!
