I made sand castle which is Kokura Castle in my town. I did not mean to compete with anybody but before holiday I cannot think anything but summer and sea. I really should have seen which months were still vacant before I made these cookies.

@Ryoko ~Cookie Ave. This is a great submission! As I think you know, we already have June, July and August submissions (and more than one for some months) for 2017, but I think I can pair you up with one of our other submissions in June or August, so you'll split time on the site that month. So, please send me the high-res versions of both banner and backdrop in the meantime (via email at sweetlife@juliausher.com). If I download the images from the site, they will be compressed and I will lose resolution. Thanks so much!

Just another comment to others considering site submissions: I have a feeling that the scale of this background, while it looks quite tiny here, is going to be perfect on the site. The images blow up quite a lot once I load them, so I often have to scale them down to reveal better. I don't think any adjustments will be needed here, and I am super eager to see it in place!

Hi Julia, I am going to send you the two photos by e-mail. The background looks dizzy here but it should be O.K. from my last experience but if the colors are still too clear, I do not mind it will be hazy. And I hope the colors of this banner just go well.

I really should had seen which months were available first before I made those. I always thought I like spring the best but now I think I like summer the best.

Such a fun summer submission Ryoko!!! I love the shells you've used and how true to nature they are. Awesome work
Thank you, Carol. It was more interesting to make those shells with royal icing than I imagined. I really did not know the details of shells. Now I know a bit more.
I always love your style of cookie decorating, Ryoko, and I really love your banner photo. The beach is my favourite too. I even have a photo on my profile page of a beach that we go to every summer. It's a beautiful beach on Lake Huron where the water is the most beautiful shade of turquoise and the sunsets are breathtaking. So I will look at your cookies and dream of spending a beautiful, breezy summer day at the beach.

Hi Christine We have learned the name of Lake Huron but I did not know it is so beautiful until you told me the name and I googled it. Wow, it is so beautiful. I wanted to make the banner which reminds us our younger days, our kids, peaceful and relaxing summer. I am very glad to know you like it.
