Hello Summer :-)
OK, I warned you that I had lots to show you, right? So are you ready.
In honor of the beginning of summer.....which I've always heard begins on Memorial Day, I made lots of summer cookies.
But before I get to those, here's the graduation bouquet I made this week.

I also had an order for a wedding shower......40 flowers in pink, lime green, purple, & yellow with name tags attached. I thought I might get tired of making these stitched flowers......but I still love them. :-)
Now to the summer cookies......Watermelon!
This photo was supposed to be facing the other way.....but I'm having fits with uploading my photos on blogger.
Ice Cream Cones! I did these twice this week. Here's the first set:
Then I did a lighter color for the cones and even made some hand cut cake cones. Fun, fun!!!
How about a little chocolate on top of that vanilla? Or a cherry on top? lol
Yum, yum. They look good enough to eat!
So this photo is to be honest with all of you and show you that there are some things I try that I'm not happy with at all. This was my first attempt at making flip flops with ribbon. The little cookie shapes for the thong was just WRONG! They are too thick and they don't look right. The folded ribbon is better on the one above......but still not what I had pictured in my mind. It's amazing how perfect it looked in my mind. ;-)
Here's my second attempt. I like these OK......but I think it needs something where the ribbons meet.
Sunglasses......
One of my favorites......Crocs!!!! I did not make this up. I saw it in a cookie a few months ago and wanted to try it myself. It was kind of hard....but fun.
Beach Balls. I love these colorful circle cookies. :-))))))))))
Here's my Weber kettle grils. :-) Someone suggested I make these for Father's Day. What a great idea!
Then I got even fancier and made an open grill with flames, grates, hot dogs, and even grill marks on the hot dogs. hee hee My family marveled at them......but they thought I was crazy at the same time. ;-) Again.....I did not make this up.....I saw this in a cookie recently as well.
And then finally......a pic of lots of summer cookies. :-)
Stay tuned. Tomorrow I'll post my patriotic cookies.
And then MONDAY I will announce a fun give-away that Karen from Karen's Cookies has arranged to do on my blog. Don't miss out on all the fun.....
