cupcake toppings - fall theme

We had everything from pies to cookies, cupcakes, brownies and cheesecake. I wanted it to look like a bakery’s display window. And it looked even more beautiful than that.

Wedding Cake - looks much easier than cupcakes.

invitations? I like the way these look, but I don't have a good illustrator program. Seems better to buy a program than spend money on invitations.

Today I Learned About...Photographer Vivian Maier

I found this photographer while checking out a project my friend Elam is trying to get funded via the website kickstarter.com. The person who holds Vivian Maier's collection is trying to make a movie about her life and work. Interesting story about how he came to have all of her work. Just beautiful, perfect photos.

The first of December

I had the pleasure of a leisurely, basket-filled-to-the-brim shop this afternoon. And while after work shopping is not always my idea of a great time, it was really nice tonight. I was able to get all of our dinner fixings for the rest of the week and some goodies and treats. I made a decent green curry with beef and eggplant, roasted the rest of the eggplant for sandwiches later, made a nice looking strata for breakfast tomorrow and am getting ready to fix Andrew's lunch as he has to be at work by 7:15 in the morning. Though right now I am really enjoying reading blogs in the light of our little Christmas tree. I bought a Mistletoe scented candle yesterday to make our house smell a little festive. I'm determined to start thinking holidays are fun instead of giant pains in the ass. It's such a crappy way to be, moaning and complaining all through the season. So I'm trying to make December fun, a nice kick start to the New Year. Maybe start setting the ground work for the good habits right now.

It's kind of cold here right now. I kind of miss the cold weather. We were going to go to First Wednesday Art Walk, but decided to skip it and make dinner. I'm a little disappointed we didn't just go. I think it would have felt nice walking around in the chilly air and looking at the holiday decorations, but we have RAM Saturday and the rest of the weekend for nice strolls around town.
