Allison & Jake's Wedding: Family Memories






My baby girl, Allison, got married in May.
It was a wonderful celebration as she and Jake pledged their lives to one another.
As I ponder all the wonderful memories.....I share some photos of the day with all of you.
Since my blog "family" has become a part of my every day life, it seems only fitting
that I would share such an important day with you. :)





Oh those beautiful eyes.....






Jake's mom, Sonja, and I sharing a quick moment before all the festivities begin.


The gorgeous bridesmaids, Elise & Jill (my lovely oldest daughter), and MOH, Meagan....





Without seeing each other, Jake & Allison shared love notes with each other before the ceremony.





Teary-eyed Jake watches his bride come down the aisle.....





This is my favorite photo of the wedding........
the song playing is "On Top of the World" and their faces say it all, 
not to mention that everyone around them is so happy too. :)


A gorgeous (albeit very warm) day in a beautiful setting......



Here is my lovely family.....
Jill, Allan, me, Keith, Allison, Jake, Kyle, Becca, & Neil.

Personal Side


Yeah for having good cookie weeks!
This certainly was one.
I got to do a shabby chic theme using some techniques I'd not used before.
Plus, I'd acquired lots of new silicone molds that I was anxious to use with edible clay.
Fun stuff!

Ukraine trip is coming quick.
We leave two weeks from yesterday.
We have good friends that just got back from their two week trip this week.
They had gone to the same place we will be going, and had no problems.
Since we are going to western Ukraine.....there's much less to be concerned about.
Who knows if this will be our last time.....LOTS can happen in one year's time.
So we're going to make the MOST of this trip.
Thanks for your kind words and your prayers.
I'm very excited about all that God has in store for us this year.

Next week it will be time to bake/decorate all the cookies for Ukraine.
They will be small cookies.....and simply decorated.
With as much as there is to do in the next two weeks.....I NEED small and simple. :)

Instagram photos for this week:

Apple Tree fun to brighten this lovely Friday.

Simple Balloon Cookies from last year.....
Happy Saturday!


Time to practice penmanship.....


Believe it or not.....there really is a goal/theme to this hodge-podge random set of cookies.....


My Back-To-School ABCs.....
I've already seen three different people use the design from seeing my "in process" photo.


I love Tammy Holmes' work so today I tried to add a little of her flair to this cookie set. 
Thanks for the inspiration, Tammy!


Back to School Cookies made a couple of years ago for my sister.....

Airbrushed Lace Heart Cookies (Tutorial)





Heart cookies are a common wedding cookie......
so it made sense to plan on doing them for Allison's  wedding favor cookies.
But I wanted to make them a little unique and special.

I had noticed that Heather at SugarNosh Treats had been playing around with airbrushing using lace.
I asked her about it and she offered to send me a piece of her lace that she was using.
How awesome is that! :)
(Thanks Heather for being so kind and giving me the tool I needed to make special cookies.)

They ended up being one of the biggest hits at the wedding.
People were amazed at the beauty of the lace pattern on the heart cookies.

They're fairly simple to make......once you have a piece of appropriate lace and an airbrush.



Outline and flood the heart cookies in whatever color desired.
Allow them to dry overnight.

Stretch out your lace material across a needlework hoop and snap it in place.
(Both the lace material and the hoop can be found at Hobby Lobby or Joann Fabric.)

Lay the stretched lace over the heart cookies.
Spray pearl sheen airbrush color evenly over them.






Beautiful and simple.......a great combination.

My youngest daughter, Allison, got married in May.
I had the privilege of making cookies for the event. :)
(I wouldn't have missed the opportunity!)


I made three basic cookies that were given as favors at each place setting.

First, a carved tree trunk cookie with Allison and Jake's initials. (tutorial)

Next, some mason jar cookies to fit their folksy woodland-like theme. (tutorial)

And finally, lace airbrushed heart cookies in colors to match the wedding colors. (tutorial)

Here's my attempt at making cookies similar to the wedding cake design.
(Boy, was that harder than I thought it would be!)


And finally, a whole set of cookies just for Allison and Jake.
I've been wanting to decorate that wedding car for a LONG time. :)






It was a treat to wrap up these special cookies up in a beautiful BRP Box. :)
Allison and Jake loved them. ♥
