TGIF Randoms

TGIF...My weekly randoms!

I'm so disappointed that I have not blogged in like a week!!!  I've been so busy getting ready for my grandparents visit... which I cannot express how stinkin happy I am that they are finally here!!!


I made a little Malta cookie basket for their arrival!


Grandma and I at the point with Valletta in the background... Beautiful weather!


I made some cookies for our friend's daughter's 3rd birthday party.  She is a princess girl and loves pinks and purples so I tried to come up with some fun cookies for her party!  



Our friends threw us a really fun going away party and I was out until 4:30 in the morning!  That is an accomplishment for me!  We had a ton of fun and are so grateful for all our friends in Malta.  We are really really going to miss everyone!!



I have the best sister in the world.  For my birthday, she signed my nieces up for a class to make me these plates.  It was one of my favorite things I did when I was little (I have a plate I made too) and so I was SO surprised when these came in the mail.  They are sitting on my table and reminding me everyday just how precious of a family I have!!!


 I received an order the other day to make 36 cupcakes and cookies for a 50th birthday party.  The guy is a huge 49'ers fan, so I decided to make football cookies.  


Half the cupcakes were butter pecan with carmel vanilla frosting and a toasted pecan on top.


The other half were german chocolate cupcakes with Nutella buttercream frosting and a piece of hazelnut chocolate on top.


And then I finally finished after like 9 hours of baking, frosting, mixing, cleaning....everything.  Cupcakes were in boxes.  Cookies on top.  And I stacked them on some crates in our pantry.  15 minutes later I heard this loud crash.  It was midnight and they needed delivered the next morning.  This is what I found. :(  I was DEVASTATED!!!  


We have a really fun weekend planned so I'll post pictures from our boating trip on Sunday!!  Happy weekend everyone!!!  XOXO
