Ladybug Cookies for a First Birthday

A friend of mine has a daughter celebrating her very first birthday. I made some ladybug cookies to celebrate the occasion... and then I made some more ladybug cookies too. I wanted to try out a few different variations and a new fun ladybug blog background too.

So I made some ladybugs with eyes and smiles and antennae

and I made some with just eyes and antennae

 and I made some smaller ladybugs

 and the smaller ones with antennae

 and a pretty flower with a ladybug decon on it

then I bagged them all up with the smaller ones 2 in a bag 

 and the larger ones in bags too

and then I put them in a pretty box with a ladybug ribbon for my friend's daughter

In August I made these ladybug cookies for my son's Eagle Scout project. He built 3 benches in a garden, so I thought ladybugs would be fun. These are still my very favorite. I like the ones without a face best, but for a first birthday, the ladybugs with faces are cute too. 

and here is the adorable little birthday girl enjoying her ladybug cookies!

 Tomorrow will finally be St. Patrick's Day cookies from this Irish gal :-) 


and for those that missed the fun background of these ladybug cookies
