Earlier this Spring, one of my dear church friends had a beautiful baby girl. The Women's Ministry at our church had a baby shower for sweet Lila Margaret, which happened to be the day before her baptism. At the time, I also happened to be short on cash in the gift-giving budget, but long on ideas for beautiful cookies to celebrate the birth and baptism of this special baby girl, so Momma and Daddy got a gift basket from Sarah's Sweet Shoppe, filled with yummy cookies! ;^)
These "sign" cookies were my first attempt at using a "#1" tip for icing decorations. Even with that small of a tip, it took several tries to squeeze all of those words on the big cookie! ;^)
My wishes for their sweet family!

In the final gift basket, I ended up hiding the small hearts down inside the basket to hold the other cookies in their places better. After this photo was taken, I put the whole thing in a gift bag and tied it with a bow. It was a beautiful gift (if I do say so myself...;^)) and Rachel appreciated the time and effort that went into creating such a personalized gift of love. Besides, who really needs more baby clothes anyway, right?

I also made these baby hands and feet, but they didn't make the cut for the basket. It was fun to try my new cutters, but I wasn't completely happy with how they turned out, this time. ;^)Congratulations Rachel and Johnny!
Happy Baptism Lila!
Love,
Mrs. Rose
This is the first time I have looked on your fun blog and what a great day to look! We LOVED the basket of cookies. They literally were gone within moments of coming home. The basket is now full of all the sweet cards that people gave Lila. Thanks so much!
