Five Things

January 13th, 2012

{Dried flowers for future card making}

Do you ever have those weeks that no matter your best effort, you simply can’t keep up? That’s how I felt everyday this week and each night before bed, I couldn’t help but recount all of the things I didn’t finish. My friend taught me a prioritizing trick though, that helped get everything in perspective. She said to focus on just two things and that everything else could wait until later. So even though I have tons of emails to respond to (thank you for all of your amazing Italy recommendations. I’m so touched by all of your comments/emails/tweets), and several incomplete projects, it will all get finished in due time. Have a great weekend!

P.S. To understand the true scale of the cookies below, I placed a penny by the plate. Kind of unreal/amazing.

{New obsession: wearing one teeny tiny ring}

{It’s still January, but my closet has already transitioned to spring}

{Seriously large cookies from last night’s movie-watching party}

{Long matches for lighting lots of candles at once}

    Just want to say I am never using a recipe not recommended by you ever again. I have tried making simple cakes hundreds of times, but the celebration cake recipe is probably the best cake I’ve ever tasted. I used to skip over your recipe posts, but never again.

    Wow, those are massive cookies. I’ve been shopping spring this week too. I’m looking for a pair of the perfect sandals/wedges that I’ll wear a million times all spring and summer.
