Luck 'O The Irish To Ya!

 Happy St. Patty's Day to ya!

Our family is Irish (Malone) so I always love dressing the part (lots 'o green!).

I love fun celebrations of any kind.

 I whipped up these shamrock cookies with some extra dough I had in the freezer.

I had a small shamrock (mini) cookie cutter but didn't have a large one...

So, I had to get creative!

 If you don't have a shamrock cutter, all you need to do is simply use your heart cookie cutter, cut out four hearts, and place them all tip to tip.  Add a long rectangular (stem) and voila!

You've got a shamrock!

I did these really quick and they are NOT my best work...but since  we were in Chicago all day Saturday...Sunday I had to play "catch-up".  With a million things on my "to-do list" I didn't have a lot of time to go all out fancy.  It wouldn't have originally been a "time issue" because I had "planned" to just do some quick stenciling with my brand new airbrush!  I was excited to get it out and play with it.  HOWEVER, upon getting it out and setting it up...

I had no air coming through the gun!

My husband tinkered with it and it seems there's a connection problem between the gun itself and the air hose because it's sputtering...start, stop...start, stop...every time the cord is wiggled.

Sooooo...

Today I get to call customer support to try and figure out if my airbrush can be fixed, ugh.

But...

That left me in panic mode.

I had to get these decorated quickly for my daycare kids the next day!

Eeek!

So  just piped some quick little designs on them and added some sanding sugar to the border.  Nothing fancy, not my best work...more like "PANIC WORK".

Thankfully, my "littles" never judge my work...they're just happy to get a treat on the holidays, LOL!  Hope you have a wonderful St. Patty's Day!

 Although St. Patty's Day doesn't bring in many orders, I still like to bake for ALL of the holidays!

 I had a little extra dough from another project, and so I baked  up some minis.

I didn't go all out decorating them.

Since these were just for my family, I went with a simple dusting of sanding sugar.

It probably seems crazy, even though I LOVE to decorate cookies...my whole family (me included) actually prefer them plain, with no icing...and just a dusting of sugar.

Although not as "fancy"...there is nothing like the taste of a simple sugar covered sugar cookie!

YUMMY!

My oldest son nearly took down the whole platter in one sitting while doing his homework!

We hope you had a very Happy St. Patty's Day!

 

Kiss Me...I'm Irish!

These were just a few simple shamrocks I did for the month of March.

I had some leftover cookie dough and icing, so I just popped these out really quick.

I'm hoping to get some "fancier" ones done later in the month before the holiday.

Just wanted to share these for now.

Enjoy!
