Beautiful confectioneries and a generous heart!





I have a sweet friend.  She makes sweet things.  She is the owner of “Chic” Decorated Cookies, Bouquets and Confection in Florence, KY…and she is so talented!

For our homeschool prom she donated these beautiful cookies for every senior’s swag bag.  

The theme was “Hollywood Nights” so she came up with this adorable “movie screen” cookie and put the graduation year on them.
Needless to say, the kids loved them…and not only are they cute but they taste amazing!
Here are a few of Alicia’s other creations.
This beautiful communion cake

Don’t you just love this zebra hot pink and black zebra striped cake? Perfect for a teenage girl!
This planet cake was one she recently created for a seven year old.  She even used “rock candy” for moon rocks! 

And how cute is this one for a first birthday!?  This color scheme is so popular right now. 



Alicia not only is available locally, but she will ship cookies or a cookie bouquet in the continental United States.  So, any of our readers can order some of her amazing cookies no matter where you’re located. 





Alicia generosity and giving spirit extends into her business.  10% of her profit on each order is donated to a non-profit organization of the buyers choice! If you have a favorite charitable organization you can let Alicia know when you place your order and she’ll make the donation in your name! That kind of business is worth supporting! 


To see more of Alicia’s creations you can visit her at her Facebook Page (please consider giving her a Like and telling her the gals from At The Picket Fence sent ya)

or on her newly created blog where she lists pricing, shipping information and has more of her creations on display!

And a big thank you to Alicia for providing the cookies for prom!

    What a wonderful business & truly generous heart. I used to have a cake decorating business (like a gazillion years ago), so I know how much work goes into all those creations — she does beautiful work!

    Thank you so much Heather and Vanessa. It brought tears to me. Thank you all for your wonderful comments and I must also thank a sweet friend Christina J. for teaching me and for coming to my rescue with her cakes and cookies. She is amazing with her wedding cakes and cookies as well. God Bless You All! Also, a huge thank you to Lisa Ball, owner of Velocity Bike and Bean in Florence for the privilege to sell my goodies.

    You just got spammed right above me. Sigh. Irksome, isn’t it?
    In other news, I love those cookies, every single one. I think the flowers on a stick are my favorite of all, but the prom cookies are fabulous.

    And fabulous doesn’t even begin to describe the cakes. I have such admiration for those who have that particular talent.

Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter through the narrow Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.”.
.
When I was a little girl we took a trip to Silver Dollar City theme park in Branson, MO. One of the attractions there is the Marvel Cave. The whole theme park was actually built right around the cave! I will never forget the feeling of descending into the darkness. We had to walk down a steep, narrow path and I could feel the rocky walls beginning to close in on me. From time to time, our guide would even have to call out for us to duck our heads so as not to whack them on rocks that were jutting out. And just when it felt like we had been walking forever; just when it felt the most narrow and the most dark; just when we were starting to get really weary from navigating this path, we turned the corner and found ourselves awestruck as we gazed at this enormous room. Everywhere we looked there were stalactites and stalagmites. Lights had been installed and they reflected off of these formations creating the most beautiful colors on the walls. There were pools of water in a shade of aquamarine I had never seen before and waterfalls flowing from upper levels. That long, winding, damp trek had been so very worth it. The descent into darkness had revealed light…and life!

My prayer for you friends, is that you will look at that narrow path with the small gate as an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to experience the kind of freedom that our souls are longing for. The wide and broad path of the world promises us a freedom that is fleeting and temporary. But at the end of the narrow path, there is hope and peace and life everlasting.

I’m choosing the narrow path. And in spite of the hardships, in spite of the challenges and the fears and the times that can feel as dark as the journey down into a cave, I wouldn’t trade a single minute of it.
Happy weekend!! My limelight’s are finally bloom Happy weekend!! My limelight’s are finally blooming and I try really hard to not play favorites among the flowers in my garden but these beauties have my heart and bring me so much joy.

What’s bringing you joy today dear friends?
I can’t properly express how much joy it gives m I can’t properly express how much joy it gives me to know that my family loves being home. After a weeklong vacation, we all feel so happy to be back in our haven. As a homemaker in the truest sense of the word (the maker of a home), knowing my husband and children consider this the place where they feel the most relaxed and at peace means all of my intentions and efforts in this area are worthwhile. It’s not perfect and WE are not perfect by a long stretch. But, it’s where we feel the most free to be imperfect. And that makes it pretty wonderful! 🌱

It’s been the weirdest summer so far here in the It’s been the weirdest summer so far here in the Willamette Valley! Extreme rain and cooler temperatures followed by extreme heat then back to cloudy and rainy. But the silver lining is that when the sun finally does reappear we definitely don’t take it for granted.

Happy Friday!! I’m working on a blog post to sha Happy Friday!! I’m working on a blog post to share all of the details of our family room shelving makeover but I’m super impatient and just had to give you all a sneak peek!! We are SO happy with how they turned out and it finally looks like I’ve always envisioned. Our quick fix years ago (scroll to see the before photo) never felt quite right but now? Soooo much better!! 🙌🏻 Big shoutout to our amazingly talented friend Matt @redemptive_woodworx for bringing our vision to life and doing such impeccable work.

I hope you all have a great start to the 4th of July weekend and make sure to check my stories later for Friday Funnies!
“Summer breeze, makes me feel fine. Blowing thro “Summer breeze, makes me feel fine. Blowing through the jasmine in my mind.” Nothing captures the aroma of summer for me quite like jasmine. With my windows open, the whole house is naturally scented and it’s one of my favorite parts of the season.
The month of June is coming to a close and it has The month of June is coming to a close and it has been JAM packed! The highlight by far though was my son's graduation from high school. When I started blogging, he was only 6 years old and some of you have been apart of my community here for that entire time. Now, he's 19 and there is a reason parents are told not to blink because the years truly do go faster than I ever could have imagined. He has become such an incredible young man we are so excited to see how God is going to unfold the next chapter of his life. We celebrated with parties galore (SO many open houses to attend!) and made memories we'll forever cherish. My mama heart was filled to bursting with the joy of it all! Now we're taking some time to just enjoy these warm, summer days making even more memories because, when you’re at this stage of parenting, you know all too well how much you need to grasp every opportunity to spend time together.

I hope your summer is off to a great start too dear friends! 🪴
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts o “And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Happy first day of summer dear friends!! I can’t believe it’s been so long since I posted something new here but life has been crazy. I’ll have some new photos of house projects and life events to share with you soon but, got now, I’m just going to enjoy this gorgeous first day of summer after our ridiculously long, wet spring. ☀️
