]]> I know, I know… It has been absolutely forever since I have last posted. I have been designing, and have plenty to post up here in the near future. In the past 6 months a lot has changed. I now work with the Queensberry Photojunction team helping out with Photojunction support. (I did say I was a nerd…). We moved! We are now homeowners. And with that comes many trips to Lowe’s, Best Buy, etc. A broken dishwasher meant my blogging and internet time was taken up by hand washing dishes. Before we moved, we were in the throws of finding a place to move to and all the fun that goes along with that.

The main thing keeping me busy, however, has been a personal project. If you follow me on Twitter, you already know. In about two months, I expect my internet presence to slow down even more for a little while… Of course, being as controlling as I am, my mom knew I would want to be involved in my shower invitation  :) Since we couldn’t find exactly what we wanted, I had to make it  :) ProDPI did a fantastic job with the printing!

I absolutely LOVE argyle! Unfortunately, the people who design things for babies, don’t think argyle is cute unless it is in pastels (not a huge fan). So the baby shower ended up being the end of the road for my argyle decor (for now). But it was only the beginning for the love of monkeys!

Of course I needed perfectly coordinated thank you cards. This time around there was a request for an elephant…

A bit more argyle, and possibly one of our favorite pictures of Bean so far on the back  :)

The best part of all of this for me was the Christmas present I received from ProDPI. They requested the thank you card as a sample. Yay!

We are sticking with jungle animals and since I couldn’t find the argyle that I wanted, I switched to the next best pattern… polka dots. More to come, I am sure…

That’s all there has been. I stayed inside for as much of it as I could. Two blizzards in under a week was too much for me.

But Winter is almost as good. If it weren’t for having to driving in the snow, or ridiculous electric bills….winter would be great. I am a sucker for sweaters. And think about it…Summer…you can only take so much off if you are hot. Winter is a great excuse to get snuggly under a blanket. But another reason I LOVE winter.

FOOD.

I am a food junkie and winter is the greatest time for it. Think of all the holiday meals, the cookies, the dinner parties. It is the time of year to make a slow cooking chili, or really any hot soup (I LOVE soup). Last night I made an A-MAY-ZING Potato soup that was about 50% roasted garlic & shallots. YUM. It’s the time of year for cookies and spices, and spices in cookies! And tea. Although, I don’t discriminate against tea year round. I can’t leave out one of the best parts of winter. Hot Chocolate. This year, Pete and I have been hooked on spicy hot chocolates. Hot chocolates with chai spices, or chili peppers. Mmmmmmmmmmmm, I can’t wait to have some tonight.

I just picked up a few new cookbooks that I am very excited about. So excited, that I looked through every single page last night and listed EVERY recipe I want to try in them. I decided this was the way to go rather than putting it on a shelf and never actually getting to use it. I may end up listing recipes from all my cookbooks. You can find my list from the newest books here. I will be marking them off as I make them as well! And while you wait for me to make some SCRUMPTIOUS new recipes…here are some of our Fall/Winter food adventures :)
