On Thursdays, I am cooped up at school all day and night. Boo! But I love my classes and they keep me interested... most of the time.Here is snap shot of some name doodles I did during lecture. At least its kinda relevant to my Typography class... right? Here are some other doodling projects I found on the web. I actually found an entire blog of doodles: Doodler Blog They are MUCH more complex and creative than mine. But at least they'll give me...

breakfast bliss

After some super tasty treats this weekend, I thought I would post something on the healthier side. Contrary to the Jelly Belly outing, I do try to keep it pretty healthy. I just like to allow myself a little wiggle room for my oh-so-sweet tooth.My usual breakfast consists of something cottage cheese. Not everyday, but I do love it and enjoy mixing it up with different ingredients to keep it tasty, but still nutritious.I usually add a little yogurt...

Jellie Bellie

The Bird and I had a little sweet tooth this weekend between house hunting and lunch. Incidentally, we ran into a little place called Sweet Tooth. They had an overwhelming display of sweets at our disposal. Not only did they carry old fashion candy bars, sell bins of candy by weight, and have a display case of a variety of truffles, they also had frozen yogurt! It was just beautiful... and bright... and fun!We opted for some bin candy and had some...

vintage + typography = love

Vintage anything is pretty much right up my alley. Now when you factor in typography... I'm completely over the edge in love! I have been learning so much about font and type faces. I am absolutely enamored! So I thought I would smush the two together today to create a Vintage Chic Collage of some pretty fabulous finds.        1 Typesetter Plaques                ...

color me silly

The word on the street this Spring is Honeysuckle. How fantastic is that word! According to Refinery29, the ultimate guide to fashion, Honeysuckle pink was voted the 2011 color of the year by Pantone. So to get in the spirit, I spent my weekend in search of a Honeysuckle lookalike for my toes... I realize I am in a little behind schedule announcing this in March. But since I had been so caught up in baking, I thought it would be a refreshing...

brownie poppin'

One of the main ingredients to my beloved dessert table was the brownie pops. And we had a lot of fun making them! My baking cohort for the day was my mom... I was more her assistant than anything. All I did was bring the excitement and recipes to the table (pun intended). Here is an after shot of the pops. They were fun and added a lot to the table. I purchased the tin from Michael's and used Styrofoam inserts which kept the sticks upright.  Here...

oh so pink

I had a fabulous birthday party this weekend! It makes me appreciate family and friends all over again. I enjoy times like those that remind me of one of the main reasons I moved back home.Part of my party involved me dressing up my own dessert table. It was a first for me... hopefully of many. That alone was one of the highlights of my day. Though I knew it wouldn't turn out exactly like all the inspirational blogs I've been obsessing over, I was...

Weekend Cupcaking

This weekend I experimented with a scrumptious recipe I found on How Sweet It Is: Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Cookie Dough Frosting... Hello Delicious! I used to bake cupcakes fairly often, but since my beloved KitchenAid has been in storage... I have seriously been slacking! In our house, I grew up baking chocolate chip cookies; A family tradition that was pasted down from my grandmother. So when I saw this recipe, I thought it was an absolute...

bare necessities

I have begun my second phase of school for this lifetime. I earned a degree, what seems like a 100 years ago, in Psychology. However, not only did I walk away from college jobless, I started a career in a field that absolutely was not for me. I have re-enrolled in school as an effort to 'figure it all out.' I wish someone would have told me to stay in school the first time... to do just that. But here I am, en route to class with my barest of ne...
