Tennis Ball Cookies

I made some tennis ball cookies in honor of the French Open. I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe and cut out some large 4 inch circles. Then I used some yellow candy melts, to frost the cookies and sprinkled them with yellow sanding sugar and used a white icing pen to draw the lines.

If you make the tennis ball cookies in a very small size they look cute on top of a cupcake. I am thinking about making ice cream sandwiches with these cookies.

I was sad to see Any Roddick lose in the first round. I would like to see Maria Sharapova win the tournament.

Looking Forward to the Grand Slams

I always look forward to watching the Grand Slams on television. I especially like to work on crafts while I am watching the tennis matches. Wimbledon is my favorite tournament and Maria Sharapova is my favorite tennis player.

So here are the dates of the upcoming Grand Slams -

French Open is May 27-June 10,  2012

Wimbledon is June 25-July 8, 2012

U.S. Open is August 27-September 9, 2012

I will be the "Rudy" of Tennis

If it doesn't rain on Wednesday - I will be the "Rudy" of tennis at my morning tennis clinic. I will run for every ball - I will be consistent. Nothing will get by me!

Wednesday Morning Tennis Clinics

I have been going to a Wednesday morning tennis clinic since September. And two days ago the coach told me that I needed to work harder and before he said it - he said how can I tell you this in a delicate  way? Huh? So I Googled  "tennis work harder." What an eye-opener.

I'll show you hard work! See you Wednesday morning!

Tennis Decorating

Doesn't this box of vintage racquets look fantastic? It makes such a fun hallway or entryway statement. The above photo is from ovadiaandsons.tumbler.com.

This fun bedroom is on houzz.com. Just type tennis in the search bar and this room will show up and lists some websites to buy the tennis ball pillows.  Some houses with tennis courts in the back yard also show up - drool.

Good luck with your tennis decorating.
