Happy 18th Birthday, Allison

So my youngest of five has just turned 18. Yikes.....where has the time gone? 

Allison will always be my baby. :) She's a pretty special young lady. I knew she would enjoy some very special cookies for her birthday.....so I went all out. First the Vera Bradley inspired cookies....and then some other very distinct cookies for my girl.

Allison LOVES Starbucks coffee and frapuccinos. In fact, everyone knows she loves it so much....that she ended up with $55 worth of Starbucks gift cards for her birthday. hee hee

And then her fifth appendage.......her Blackberry. :)

The Allison's 18th Birthday Collection......

I'll be going out of town on Wednesday.....and be gone for nearly week.....so I'm not sure how much blog time I'll have before I leave. But I promise to try to post one more time before I go.

Allison's Favorites

My daughter, Allison, had her 18th birthday last week. Wanting to make some of her favorite things in cookie form.......I started with inspiration from one of her newest "loves".......Vera Bradley. 

I'm very conscious of licensed and copyrighted materials, and go so far as to refuse anyone that asks me to do licensed characters like Disney, etc. So I was determined to only use VB as my inspiration.....and not actually copy any of their work.

Favorite.......paisleys!

Stay tuned for more of Allison's favorite things in my next post. :)
