Get ready for Summer!!

A couple of years ago a friend came to me and asked if I would put together a bouquet for her daughter's teacher for an end of the school year gift. I jumped at the idea! Since the school was year-round, it was at a time where everyone was getting ready for 4th of July celebrations. I made these cute star cookies with traditional teacher praises-for her teacher. If she wasn't teacher's pet before, I'm sure she was after giving this gift! A basket like this costs between $34.50-$46.00 depending on the amount of cookies.

CTR = Choose the Right Cookie

As a favor for my good friend, I made 60 CTR shields and number 8 cookies for her daughter's baptism luncheon. On the top is the final presentation, but while making them, I couldn't decide how creative to get. Down below I took a picture of my choices. I liked the Shield, so I left that alone, but I stewed over polka-dotting the number 8's. In the end, I went with the classic look. I didn't want them to look too busy.
