<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Check out their website and mission <a href="https://lollyslocks.org/" target="_blank">here</a>. It was started by a friend of a friend and I thought it was a great cause (both personally and professionally!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I did some logo cookies as refreshments for a fashion show and shopping event at bloomingdale's. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">A few weeks ago, we packed our bags and headed to San Francisco, and then on to the Sonoma Valley for a wedding. It has been a really busy fall with lots of travel, and it was nice to save one of the best trips for last. Those who know me know I am an "antsy" flier (to put it nicely), so the fact that I was looking forward to 6 hours on a plane with nothing to do and no responsibilities sums up the previous few months. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I made California-shaped cookies with a heart over the wedding location, packaged as favors for each guest. It was a beautiful wedding, and weekend -- and I loved the way the favors looked at each place setting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It was so fun to do these favors for a Dr. Seuss-themed baby shower! I made some more <a href="http://cookiedistrict.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-cat-in-hat-birthday.html" target="_blank">Cat in the Hat hats</a>, and also some onesies too coordinate with the cute striped invitations (pic below). I love coordinating with invitations, decorations or colors. How did I do?</span></div>

It was a rare DC-NOLA flight that wasn't crowded, but I guess August really isn't prime tourist season. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">It was a great trip -- we spent most of our time there by the pool and/or eating. Among other treats, we managed to get <a href="http://www.eteamz.com/plumstreetsnoball/" target="_blank">snoballs</a> <a href="http://www.snobliz.com/" target="_blank">each day</a>. Just in case those weren't enough sugar, I brought along some cookies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I came across <a href="http://bakeat350.blogspot.com/2013/07/let-it-snowcone.html" target="_blank">this great sno-cone cookie tutorial</a> from <a href="http://bakeat350.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bake at 350</a> just in time for our trip and adapted them to be snoballs in "pails" (aka Chinese food containers, which is how they're served):</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I did get some during our second trip down over the weekend. We took the dog who loved people watching in the sunshine:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We took a (Dunn) family ski trip to Beaver Creek (love their slogan -- "not exactly roughing it") last week. I made a few cookies for the occasion:</span><br />
