I was inspired by Sugarbelle to make these leprechaun cookies. I tell you what, everytime I read one of her posts I learn something new! She is full of inspiration and new ideas! In the leprechaun post she showed how to look at your existing cutters and think out of the box. You don't always have to have the exact cutter to make a specific shape. Use your imagination and see what you come up with. Without further ado, here's what I ended up coming up with.
This beer glass is actually a foot with the rounded bottom trimmed off.
I added gold pearl dust to the "Pot 'O' Gold" just for an added bit of shimmer.
I couldn't help but sing the Ducktales theme song while I made these!...Pretty sure I'm never going to grow up! :)

All of these sweets will be on their way over to Afghanistan in a few days.(Hopefully they make it all in one piece!) My cousin, Amy, is stationed there until sometime this summer. It's the least I could do in return for everything she does. She is an incredible, smart, funny, caring and loving woman. She's a wife, a mom, a sister and a daughter. She does so much, not only for her family but for our country. She just got promoted to Sergant First Class and we all couldn't be happier for her!
This is what her new patch will look like for her uniform.
This is when she Re-upped this last year...right before she jumped out of a plane!!!
And this is us as kids! (My grandma always bought us matching EVERYTHING!) Oh boy, were we stinkers! (Can't you just tell by the looks on our faces?)
Love ya girly, and I can't wait to see you this summer!
