the strawberry patch barn sale (fall 2011)



I've finally dusted off the old camera
and uploaded a few (million) pictures.
(it's been quite a while... )
Anyway, here are some photos of my booth
at the last barn sale. 
I always mean to walk around
and take pictures of all the other goodies,
but once again, I didn't....
 












This pretty lady took care of my booth for me,
and she's as sweet as she looks.
Thank you, Kay!

where have i been?


The other day,
I was telling a friend of mine 
that at the end of most days, 
I feel like I haven't really done anything.
She had been feeling the same way,
and said she had started 
making a list at the end of each day 
of everything she had accomplished that day.
She was surprised at how much she had actually done,
and it made her feel so much better to be able to look at her list.
I don't know about you, 
but when I make a list, 
it's usually a "to-do list."
So, I've started making my "did-that" list each night,
and I love it.
I will still have my never-ending "to-do" list as well, 
but it's nice to focus on what has been done
and not just what needs to be done.

So, I know it's been a while,
here's what we've been up to...

a wedding anniversary...

an adoption anniversary...

cupcakes to celebrate...

a sad good-bye...

a first tooth...

sunflowers are blooming...


we ate some cheetos...

entered the world of the iphone...


picked up our csa basket...
(i'll tell you about it later)

a fun play date...

we put our shoes on...

to go outside and plant some basil...

and parsley...

(my favorite)

went to see the "big cars movie"...

 remember my army of day lilies...


discovered that i luuuuv greek yogurt...

and skinny girl margaritas...

(i'll tell you all about this one later, too)

(this is what i look like, now)

birdseed wreath



I've been running a regular little birdseed wreath factory
out of my kitchen for the past two days.
I found this recipe a while back
and thought I'd give it a whirl.

*1 cup water
*2 envelopes knox unflavored gelatin
*2 cups bird seed

* simmer gelatin in water until dissolved
*stir in birdseed
*pour into mold
(spray the mold with nonstick cooking spray first)
*refrigerate for a couple of hours, and they're good to go








And, to be cheesy....
this recipe is for the birds!
