Rock Paper Scissors Design

If you don't already know about her, my really good friend Rachel Baker, makes THE MOST awesome invitations known to mankind. Really.  If you're looking for invitations that come in silk boxes or engraved into glass, you've found the girl for you.  Let's just say that the average joe can't afford her talent, which is why she's come out with a line that is much more affordable, yet still exudes her really classy and couture style. You may feel intimidated by her invitations, but she will design and work with you to give you the best invitations AND she will also do her best to work with your budget.  This is why she is just so marketable.  She has been in many wedding magazines and some tabloids we all love to read such as US Weekly.  Anyways, if you guys know anyone who needs wedding invitations, please spread the word!!! Seriously though, check out her website to get an idea of just how great she is =)

Tyler.....again...

I almost forgot why I started this blog in the first place.  I'm supposed to put pictures of Tyler up for Ron.  Oops.  So anyways, here are some recent photo's of Tyler.  Lately, he hasn't been giving me that toothless grin, instead, he does this now.  But I still think he's adorable. =)

Then here's this expression....which I think I kind of do occasionally.  So I personally like this photo! 

So Tyler is always "awwwwww"-ed over due to his fabulous hairstyle.  Lately, his sides have been tame, and his hair on top is just...well, kind of does it's own thing.  Everyone loves to ask if I style it this way, but I'm proud to say that this is all au-natural, baby. 

Yes, they are....

A couple of weeks ago, one of my best friends from dental school came down to visit me and brought me this little treat:  Teeth cookies!!!  As disgusting as teeth may seem to some, we dentists can find all things teeth to be uber cute.  You gotta admit, these are cute!

(ok, so I don't know how this all started getting underlined...)

So this really "inspired" me to try my hand at sugar cookie baking.  I haven't made sugar cookies since I took home economics class my freshman year of high school.  I decided that I'd make Ron some cookies for him to take to work.  Yes, just as I find teeth to be amusing, I just naturally assumed that Ron and his co-workers would find these to be just as amusing and cute. But when I told Ron my idea, he just about died instead.

TA DA!

When I ordered these cookie cutters, I thought, "hey, these cute little guys can be packaged up in threes and I'll give them to Ron to take to work...." well, just to give you an idea of how intimidating these really were.....

Yes people, that is a large water bottle.  The cookie cutter you see on the inside is bigger than my foot.  HOLY COW.  In fact, when I made my first batch, I kept breaking the big nuts off the penis because they were just so heavy! I guess you must handle them with care, as with any penis. I really wish that I had the patience to wait till morning so I could take some pictures of these in better lighting, but I just couldn't wait due to requests of pictures...so I will post up day pictures tomorrow. Hehe. 

So here are the big peckers all lined up.  (Yes, they are called Pecker Cookie Cutters in case anyone else dares to attempt to make these)  Seeing how big these peckers really are, I didn't really get much bang for my buck as far as the amount of cookie dough I needed to make.  And these are even smaller than the middle size pecker in the photo above...but still pretty darn huge. 

 

Just for the sake of making them less vulgar and more feminine, I decided to make them pearly with some pearl dust.  I'm not sure if you can really see it too well, but it's very shimmery.  Oh and btw....I bought bags to put these in, and well, surprise, surprise....they don't fit.  

What to do with left over dough....

Make bite size heart cookies. Yum.
