Owl Cookies

 It has been a while since I've posted anything.  The main reason is the new love in my life!

 We welcomed Titus to our family over two months ago.  Isn't he just the cutest thing you've ever seen? He's grown a lot in the last few months.  It has been a blur of pure joy. 

You may recall in my last post we were hosting a garage sale for some close friends of ours who were raising funds to adopt.  Not long after we brought Titus home, they too were blessed with an addition to their family.  I had to take a break from my maternity leave to provide some cookies for her baby shower for two reasons: 1)  I am so excited for them. 2)  I love owls, and her nursery is owl themed.  The below decal is on the wall in their little one's

 nursery.

 With my inspiration, I was off.  I used a 3 1/2 inch round cookie cutter.  Decorated with royal icing, I tried to implement different parts of the decal.  My favorite were the little owls.  This picture was taken before I got the cute little flowers on the owls heads.  They were even cuter after. 

Congratulations to Talley and Sarah and their precious little daughter!
