she's the cherry on top cookies

 
such a cute set - i am very proud of the way the red came out and was not oversaturated. some of the shapes are bigger than i usually use but they sure did combine to make an adorable set.

oh, waitress.....

little sister is trying out a new gig this summer: waiting tables and earning tips.  we went for dinner tonight and enjoyed the friendly service.
she talked us into dessert....then whisked them away to the back room so she and her coworkers could snack on them between helping their tables.

confirmation cookies

it was a quick turnaround on these confirmation cookies.  i was inspired by white lilies and gold splatter always adds a touch of fancy. (1 dozen)

bid day + date night

we made a quick day trip to stillwater to watch our favorite freshman participate in all the bid day festivities for her new sorority. the day started out early as we were out of the house by 6am, and once we got some fuel for the truck and us, we were headed north by 6:30.

after two more stops (chickfila and crumbl) we made it to little sister around 10:40am.  the weather was dreary, windy and cold but we didn't let that stop the fun. 

we had a little bit of time to hang out before the bid day festivities began, so we stopped by little sister's dorm and handed off all the supplies she requested we bring.  then we headed over to new house to see little sister and the other 14 spring pledges "run home."
hoping she loves this new chapter and makes lots of friends.
after the mingling, photo taking, and member and parents meetings ended, we head out to a late lunch and then it was time for us to head back to texas.  we made it out just in time before a little bit of snow and more freezing temps blew in to stillwater.  but little sister was only halfway thru her day.  she and bf got all fancied up for a date party that night.
oh, to be young again!
