The Sweetest Cookies Ever

So here they are you guys.  Those sweet 1st birthday cookies from weeks ago.  I enjoyed making these for my baby boy's "daycaremate" so much!  I took countless pictures and for the life of me I can't figure out what's taken so long for me to post them.  Oh, that's right.......LIFE!  LOL.  :-)

Of course when these got to little Eden they were individually wrapped and gift boxed. 
I didn't remember to take pics of them that way though.

For half the cookies, I used the recipe posted here by Sweet SugarBelle and from the Sugarbakers' Cookie Cutter Cookbook.  They really were pretty tasty and a nice change from the sugar/butter cookie recipe I usually use. 

 

The cupcakes are my favorites.



It seems the camera catches the disco dust a little better with the flash on.
Hope you can see the little bit of shimmer here.




I love the way the yellow royal icing color turned out for this batch. 
It just seems to brighten the entire set up even more.


And here is my inspiration for the cookie designs.  Stickers and papers from Doodlebug.  So cute!!!!!!  I just love them!  If time were on my side I would have made a birthday card to match but it just didn't work out that way.  Sorry Eden.

 

 

I just love these cookies and I'm so glad to finally be back posting here!

I miss my Blog................

I don't know how long it's been since I've posted here.  I miss my blog.  Life, as always, has just gotten in the way.  I promise I'll be back soon.  Not that life will be out of the way but, I need to get back to my own little something I have in this blog here.  I'll be back.  SOON!  

Happy Sunday everyone!
