Cookie Decorating with Royal Icing

This is a technique I read about years ago in a magazine and I've been wanting to try it ever since. Then my friend K sent me a link for this amazing site http://www.sweetopia.net/. We knew we had to try it. What better opportunity than a baby shower. We learned a lot and I am really excited to try this again. I love having a friend that loves to do this kind of thing, she's really the genius behind it all! Here's how they turned out...

K also found another amazing flickr site you should most definitely look at...her work is so inspiring. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rosey_sugar_palace/

The W Kids

It hasn't quite been a year since I got my DSLR Camera and I have really loved learning and getting to know how to use it and better yet, getting to take pictures. I've used my own children as models for my photography lessons almost daily (you'll probably get tired of seeing my kids over and over). However, when a friend asked me the other day if I would do a photo shoot of her kids, I was so nervous. After she left I immediately uploaded them and was so pleased to see that we got so many cute ones. What cute kids. Here's a few of my favorites.
