Summer is here...

and so are the wedding's that I had previously booked prior to my decision to take a break!   I'm still very thankful for my decision.  Having more time to focus on what I love the MOST... my faith, and my family... and my friends too!  The past 2 weeks we have lost an uncle at 68 years old... a friend and  young mother at 39, and tragically another young friend at 27.   It's moments like this when one MUST reflect, and realize that life is so very brief... and we only live it once.   And that my friends, is why I can't fill every waking moment filling it with cookies.  As much I love making them, and decorating them... there must be priorities.  That being said... it was fun to dabble again and practice with these cookies.   This beautiful bride ties this knot in August.   Her amazing bridesmaid ordered these for the shower held this past week.   This bride loves polka dots and bows!  A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E    Can't wait for your special day, ST and MG!

Wedding Bells

What feels like just a moment ago, is really 10-11 years ago, when I taught this young bride piano lessons! At the time, we were both living in Regina. I was completing my BMusEd degree, and this beautiful lady was in Jr High? High school? Now... we're both here in Edmonton! But back to Regina she goes to marry a local Edmontonian. They are sweet, gentle and oh so kind! I'm so excited for them and glad that they will be making their home here in Edmonton. I feel honoured to have done these cookies for their wedding TODAY! (Since it's now midnight!) R and J, were out to the Island at another friends wedding whom I did cookies for as well. So they took that idea and added their personal touch. Bright flowers and different shades of purple! I wish you both many, many years of joy together!

Wedding Favours

This sweet, sweet couple who is getting married this week-end, asked if every guest's name could be written on a cookie to be used as place settings! What a GORGEOUS idea! They both love the ocean, scuba diving etc. So the underwater theme in their colours are reflected in these cookies with the starfish (also on their invite) and the coral. I tried something new this time, and textured the background. I thought it added some depth to the simplicity of the cookie. CONGRATULATIONS D & D! I hope your day is just as bright and joyful as you both are.

Potential Wedding favours

I'm loving this bride's hopeful choice of colours for her 2012 summer garden wedding! Did up a sample pack for her to taste and see!

a SWEET gift

to give to the beautiful couple to be wed this week-end. 2 dozen cookies in their wedding colours of black and silver with their initials. I have a hunch that the couple who ordered these cookies, ordered a few extra just for themselves!! :-) Wouldn't you?!!

Congrats C & C

I feel completely honoured to have done these cookies for such a wonderful couple! These cookies will be their favours at their wedding dinner this week-end! I'm looking forward to watching these 2 exchange their vows! Wishing you both many wonderful years together. If the going ever gets tough, maybe a cookie will help! :-)
