No. 11 in a series of things I want to pass onto my daughters, but often don't get around to saying.

The series is here.

Chocolate-orange cupcakes

Chocolate orange cupcakes, originally uploaded by Tonya Doughty.

My attempt at this recipe. I often use parchment paper for lining because I'm always out of cupcake liners. Seeing someone else use it like this made me do a double-take at the recipe (plus the photo was beautiful.) It sounded good and I had all the ingredients so I made them last night and they were so, so good!

Measure up

2008-10-06T11:21:00.000-07:00

During a remodel, I snapped a pic of the vine/leaf measure chart I drew on my wall in our house to measure my kids. Next to it is the chart on the bathroom wall in my Grandma's 1912 house that goes from when my Dad was born in 1943 to current times and covers 2 kids, 3 grandkids and 7 great-grandkids.

Now, I'm not saying he is, of course, but when I was capturing this image I was sure thinking he looked like he thought he was. The rest of his family was faced the other direction quite a ways away watching his older sister in a soccer game.

I'm so ready for summer. Sitting on the patio, eating outside (these hot sauce bottles are on our picnic table), hearing crickets late into the warm night, heading outside without having to find jackets (and shoes!) for everyone. Such a different feeling in summer, so relaxed, no hurries, all promises of fun in the air. Love it!

Interesting browsing through the links already submitted. Lots of coffee shots. LOL, something I truly do not understand. Even the coffee aisle in the grocery sore turns my stomach - the smell is awful, let alone the taste. This isn't MY addiction, mind you (unless of course I lived in Las Vegas where I suspect I would quickly be addicted to Black Jack), but someone I know. Mine runs more towards stuff like books and yarn and fabrics and papers and letters and photography and such. Point being, no matter what the addiction, they can all be destructive.

Indy at Ocean Shores scouting for shells. She is quite young here, and quite far from me. But we were the only two souls on the beach right then and the distance didn't bother me, but when she noticed it she started to cry.

2007-02-23T07:02:00.000-08:00

Photo Friday this week is Texture.

One of the reasons I like this shot is it looks like a teddy bear face. Going to start a little collection of photos that look like faces (but aren't faces, obviously, or they'd just be called...portraits).

Photo Friday: Strange

2007-02-02T12:01:00.000-08:00

Photo Friday topic for the week is "Strange". The reason this is strange is because I just commented a few minutes before that I wanted to watch "Super size me" so set it to record on the TiVo. We left and as my 15 yr. old was practicing her driving, I had my camera hanging out the window shooting random shots. Got home and saw this. Since I NEED to stop eating so much McD's, I thought this a little prophetic.

I am no. 251.

edited to say I haven't had McD's in 2 weeks and I've lost 12 lbs. What does that tell ya?

Got to play this weekend

2006-05-21T11:12:00.000-07:00

Learning to golf - SO fun, Indy went putt-putting and loved it. Got home and DJ and her spent the afternoon putting. She even got her set of clubs (from a friend who had an old set of his son's that had been cut down. Look out Michelle Wie!)

Worldwin white CS that I drew circles on, Prima orchid and jewels, Sizzix die, everything else came from the new scrapbook stuff at Walmart - sorry I already threw away the packaging to know who makes it, I think maybe it was Colorbok, Colorbox inks, Therm O Web adhesive dots
Rest for the wicked - Indy taking a little impromptu nap in an odd spot - leaning against the front door.

Lasting Impressions, felt letters, Prima big orange flower (LOVE this, need more) cut in 1/4's, DCWV black floral ppr, Prima jewels, K & Co word strips, Avery tag, Sizzix die, vintage book pages, Hero Arts "z" stamp, Colorbox inks, Therm O Web adhesive dots
You right now - Loved these pics of Carsey!

Most of the papers are from the June Scrapbook Obsessions kit. Also used pprs from Prima, Scenic Route, KI Memories. Prima flowers and ribbons, KI paper flower diecuts, Queen & Co brads, Stampin' Up alphas, Colorbox inks, Therm O Web adhesive dots
Give it - Used a bunch of the new Prima papers and flowers - SO yummy!

Lasting Impressions white embosed dot paper that I ran through a corrugator and then paint stamped polka dots on (LOVE polka dots, gotta remember to do this more), Prima papers, Heidi Swapp black clips from June SBO kit, Paper Source arrow stamp, red & white twine from Paper Bella, Prima paper daisies, Q&Co brads, Colorbox ink, title (quote) by Kobi Yamada

OK, I realize this pic may be pushing it a bit! I found this on my oldest daughter's digital camera last night. Has to be from this past summer. Just thought it had great angle! What an eye, right? Or maybe it's just 'cuz she's like 5 ft., 9,000 inches tall so she towers over the little munchkins. (Gretchen (or grentchen as Indy calls her), left, and Indy eatin' otter pops.)
come on summer, we're ready for you already!
