today I got to watch my two loves playing outside in the snow. bring on the warmer temps b/c penny loves the snow!

Thought I would share a couple of photos from my "studio"

I have a lot of stuff packed in there. A little bit of everything. Different items for different days.

Here is a collection of small doo-dads that I cherish
Heather, do you remember this?

Besides the invitation work I have started getting some mini books ready to post on etsy

it makes me so excited to see that the orchid I bought from the farmer's market last fall is going to bloom again! I always knew them to be finicky plants and totally didn't expect it to even stay alive!

question for all of you bloggers. do your husbands know you have a blog and if so do they read it? or do you keep it as a personal space for just you?

3 posts in one day, that's pretty amazing for me.

Here are the fruits of my labor

Finished product. The color is a little different than Martha's but still looks yummy!

The back up plan (which we ate tonight)

My gorgeous flowers I received along with a certificate to go get a message

Took 1/2 a day off work today to make my valentine a strawberries-and-cream cheesecake.

I am enjoying being in the kitchen baking for my sweetie and listening to an ipod full of fun and cheesey love songs. Pictures to come.

I have 3 new loves in my life:

my new laptop which allows me to do my design work in the living room at night or out and about wherever I may need to be.

A 30 inch paper trimmer that was a total score at the university's weekly surplus sale. It will come in especially handy when cutting paper for pocketfold invites.

and a 3/8" corner rounder! got it for a pretty good price on ebay and it has supposedly been used a couple of times. This again will come in very handy when doing invites.

Man, I love sweet deals!
