This may be unrelated...but How Awesome is this!?

The rumor was true...three thousand feet of snow fell from the sky and landed in our front yard... here is a small photographic montage of the adventure of the second 2010 Blizzard!

So... bring on the snow...I guess

Rumor has there is 18-24 inches about the fall from the sky and reek havoc upon Maryland. Wishing you all luck! Hopefully you find a reason to stay inside. And if you must go out, I hope it involves dancing or building a snowman...

Something Sweet to wake up to...

Not only would this be something sweet to wake up to... wouldn't it be nice if those flowers came from the back yard? That would mean it was summer! Hope you are all in the spirit of Valentine's Day and thinking about how to surprise that special lovely with something particularly wonderful! 

Cute as a button

The only thing cuter than these button cookies, May be the recipe page. Thinking of adding these to my list of things to do...maybe on Saturday..if the snow comes!

Something Fabulous...

Ever wish you had an excuse to where something totally fabulous? I haven't found my excuse but when I do... I will be wearing this fabulous head band... love love love it!

Five Hundred Pencils

Wow... to be honest, colored pencils havent made their way into my hands since college... But it is possible, with this installation by, Felissimo I may just pull out my old box and see what I can do with them.  Just a little unique bit of sunshine for your morning... Color Color Color! 

You let me down Phil... you let me down

Six more weeks of Winter

Invitation, By Shel Silverstien

Today... i thought of you...

Taking a stroll down Ellicott City Main Street and finding some old sketch books of my Grandmother's got me thinking... Its so nice to have family, its hard missing them, even harder know I haven't ever met others that passed too early... Today I was thinking... of my grandmothers, one whom I have met, loved and now miss. One whom I have never met, but still love and still miss... Thinking of you. And grateful for you...

Day Dreaming

I've been day dreaming a lot lately. When the weather is cold and my skin is deprived of the sunshine it needs, I find myself reflecting upon what I would do if the weather were warm... Read a good book in the sun by the bay, A long jog at the park, work up some sketches on the porch, go for a sail, I so wish! ...Oh the possibilities...

Something a little Melancholy....

Red, White and GLOW Holiday Party

After much anticipation... I would like to post my favorite pictures from the Meant for a Moment, Bromin Construction Holiday party.

Theme: Red, White and GLOW
Number of Attendants: 25 (whoa)
Menu: Apps, Turkey Dinner, Cocktails and Mini Pies (the cutest!)

Surprisingly enough, I pulled it all off. Nothing burned, NO ONE left hungry, in fact if you are hungry now, come over and I will help you out with some left overs, and I was still standing by midnight!

  

Above: The decorations: Red Christmas Balls, and the needles from my Christmas tree filled two clear glass vases. The center vase hosted tiny scrolls with hilarious jokes that were shared at dinner. The curly sticks and glowing pussywillow were the perfect accent for they lonely corner behind the dinner table, along with the millions of candles spread all around the house.

Next to that are the Mini Apple/Cranberry Pies (my favorite part) I baked them in cupcake tins, and placed them out on a plate after dinner for people to eat as "finger foods" most were gone by the end of the night. Those that remained were sent home with guests to eat later... so easy! The punch bowl was filled with champagne and topped with a large cranberry juice ice heart (which I made from a heart shaped cake mold I got from Target) than I topped it off with fresh cranberries. It looked too good to drink! As you can see, I cooked way too much food (no complaints here! I love turkey left overs) And lastly, the hosts! Thank you to those who came! It was a fabulous night, it would have been nothing without you! I can't wait for the next one...
