Random Sunday Things

It has been a lazy kind of day. I am enjoying no have tos! I did make it out earlier for the bike ride and it was much cooler and a much more pleasant ride. No little creatures in the canal today.
After the ride it was get groceries and then home where I have not been too productive.
So here are a few of my favorites today:
New to me from Trader Joe's. These are almost better than my addictive Reeces Peanut Butter Cups. The salt caramel and dark chocolate are so good together

A memory from Iowa peonies. They smell so good. Loving them

My impulse purchase at Target yesterday. 1st batch was none too good. Second batch much improved



My new glass from where else Starbucks. It was filled with a skinny iced caramel macchiato. I made pretty quick work of that. Good thing I only go to Starbuck's on weekends.

I finished up my album from Carol's class last weekend. I even have pics in it. I think this is my favorite of all the heirloom albums so far. I say that until the next one comes out. I really enjoyed working in this one. I wasn't sure what I was going to do as far as pics but decided to add family and friends and a few pics of me. I still have lots of journaling to add but at least the pics are in it and the mess I made is cleaned up. So here you go Jo as requested the photos.




























Dinner is in the crock pot, a load of laundry left to do and that pretty much completes my day.
Hoping all the Fathers I know are having a wonderful day.

What a fun post! I will have to try that yummy TJ's bar. I love their dark choco bars. And that donut maker looks like fun... but dangerous! Meaning, it could get addicting! hee hee when we were kids, we used to make homemade donuts and they were so good.

Your book is gorgeous Sherry! I just love the color pallet and how you've layered all the elements. Very nice!

Hope you're having a great day.
Hugs,
Holly

Sherry...your book turned out amazing! Love it!! And was so excited to see my pic with you & Amanda. :)
I agree with Holly...a donut maker is dangerous! Deliciously dangerous!
I remember the peonies in Iowa too...my mom had them growing alongside our house. They are beautiful!

The Stockings Were Hung

Image
I hosted a small group for a Christmas Stocking Swap. I kept the group small due to my time and work constraints and deadlines I was facing. My idea for the swap came from a wonderful online class I took with Nancy Maxwell James of Sugar Lump Studios . I really enjoyed her class and all her helpful tips and so the idea was born. I assigned secret partners, to each of the members as well as a Dec 10th deadline. Christine suggested we all wait and open our boxes on the same day. So today is the reveal. The stocking are gorgeous and it has been fun as the photos came in to see how each of us interpreted the theme. We designed and filled our stockings with goodies and then mailed to our partner. Below are the photos of our stockings and a little thank you I sent to each of the gals. The stockings are in no particular order just how they came up on the computer. I am already thinking of next year :) and what we could do and to being more organized time wise so I can invite more ga

Today: Chaos, Cooking, Cleaning and Creating

Image
What a day. I think I put the "Labor" into Labor Day. After yesterday, where I basically sat all day I needed to get going. And get going I did. From laundry to cleaning to grocery shopping to creating I have had a busy day. I have decided that what I eat sucks. I rarely cook a good meal and then at bedtime I am back to starving. So in my great wisdom I decided I needed to get with it and start fixing better meals for myself. Cooking for 1 is not the most inspiring thing. I am so used to cooking for larger groups and I tend to make too much. any how armed with a list for the grocery store and determination I headed out. I shopped and shopped, loaded all the groceries into the car and unloaded all the groceries from the car when I got home. From there it was a whirlwind of mixing and making my meals for the week. But let's be honest I probably made enough for 2 weeks plus. Groceries waiting to be put away and made into meals It only took about 30 minutes to whip this all t
