Wedding showers & a 30th birthday

It was a bit of a busy week this week, helped get the rust off my elbows for sure.  I had two wedding showers; the first was for my cousin Monica, who is marrying Matt.  These were made for the favors:

The second shower was for my friend Allison's wedding, of which I am a bridesmaid.  Since she and her betrothed are going to Hawaii for their honeymoon, the shower planners went with a luau theme:

Lastly, I made some cookies for my dear friend LaRoyja, or as I like to call her, 'Buttercup.'  We've been friends for probably ten years, and we met through Ben Affleck's website (he had one back in the late 90s.)  We were fans, she was one state over and in college, and I had a car.  I was able to make it over to visit her a few times during her college years and we might have gone to an Affleck film or two.  She's now finishing law school and celebrating her 30th birthday, so I thought an Early Career Retrospective of Ben Affleck would be the perfect dozen to send her way.  Each cookie does represent a different movie, feel free to guess:

A special delivery, due in June

My friend Wendy is due to have her second child, a girl, in June.  This past weekend some of her co-workers had a baby shower and I thought it would be a good opportunity to make some baby shower cookies.  I only made a dozen, and Wendy loved them:

Congratulations, Wendy & Bryan!  I'm so excited to meet little Hayden... or whatever you name her... come June!

April orders and an update

In April, I had a birthday order for a 2 year old fan of cars/Cars:

I had a birthday order for my friend's Mom:

Lastly, I had an order for Easter:

Since this has been a rather slow year so far, I am putting the Year of Giving on hold.  If business picks up, I'll reinstitute it, otherwise, it's on hold until next year.  Thank you to everybody who ordered in April!  Graduations are coming up, so keep us in mind for the party or as a unique gift for the grad!
