a baby shower

Posted by Unknown




A couple of weekends ago my friends and family showered me with so much love and fun.  I really wish you all could have been there to celebrate along with us.  I am so grateful and still in amazement at the wonderful support that I have.  Little one will be here in just a few short weeks and I can still barely process that  I am pregnant let alone wrap my mind around the fact that I am about to be a mom!  It is truly mind boggling.  This is my last week that I am spending on client projects and so I am looking forward to some nesting and resting to prepare (prepare? is that possible?) for the big day.


Thanks to Bianca for the amazing decor at the shower (one of my 4 lovely hostesses) and Alexis and Bethany for the beautiful pics!

a homemade natural Christmas

Posted by Unknown








Happy Monday y'all!  The weekend flew by and I have been quite busy creating and gathering xmas gifts and ideas.  I probably shouldn't post these pics pre-Xmas in case any of the recipients see.  But as only a handful of my family members and local friends actually read my posts, I should be pretty safe.  :)
A few weeks back, some of my fave ladies and I went to a great planter making class at our friend Korin's home to learn how to make these fantastic concrete planters.  Kassandra from Barrels and Branches generously shared her craft and recipe.  I loved them so much that I decided to make enough for an army to hand out as stocking stuffers and gifts.  They turned out great!  Between me and my m-i-l, we have quite the succulent farm so planting these babies was pretty easy actually.  Some of the succulents actually came from my wedding from over two years ago! (They spread like wildfire y'all). I added some pieces of my driftwood and shell collection and voila. Aren't they the cutest l'il sh**s?!

bake: halloween goodies! aka bloody finger cookies...

Posted by Unknown



All I can say is that it is almost Halloween y'all.  These cookies kind of horrify me and fascinate me at once.  But as I am not the squeamish type (I don't think), I would love to freak out my upcoming party guests with these gory sweets.  Thanks to Hilary for this craaazy recipe for Bake. 


Are you going to a Halloween party and want to really WOW the guests with a gory dessert? This is the one for you. These bloody finger cookies always elicit a “gross!” response but the party-goers can’t stop eating them!

A cross between a butter and sugar cookie (and really, how can that be bad?), these scary treats are easy to make and are super creepy looking. When you’re shaping the fingers, keep in mind that the cookies will spread so make sure they’re not too fat.

Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Almond slices
Red decorating gel or frosting

See more of the recipe after the jump.  P.S. you don't want to miss the pics!
