Oh Man, I have no idea what model they were... I think the cabinet style is called Shaker but I'm sorry, I can't remember exactly :(

Shoe Corner Makeover
This was our lovely mountain of shoes that sat in the back corner of our family room. This is it now: Definitely one of the best pieces of furniture that Ikea sells! It holds a ton thanks to my love of ballet flats. 4 pairs of them will fit in the space of one of Adam’s. I recommend any...
grated, I'd say about 1/3 cup. Maybe a 3-4 inch piece

Homemade Ginger Liqueur (in less than 3 hours!)
UPDATE: Tried again with Brandy - way better! See bottom of post. Koval Distillery here in Chicago makes an organic Ginger Liqueur that I've come to call "crack". It is delicious and once I open a bottle, it's hard to put it down. I like it either on the rocks or with a splash of club soda. L...
This card is amazing! Straight to my inspiration file!

reverse masking with die cuts
Reverse masking is a favorite of mine to use with stamped images and so I started thinking about other ways that I coud use the technique. I have done a variation on reverse masking where I have cut or punched a square to use as a mask and so decided to do a mask using a die cut shape. I chose...
Oh wow, you have some great boards! Following now :)

‘Pin’spired cards
I’ve been pinning a lot of cards lately and I thought I’d share some that I made recently, ‘pin’spired by my pins. (There’s got to be a better way to say that) The first card that inspired me is this one by Shari Carroll for heroarts.com Source: heroarts.com via Jennifer on Pinterest My expe...
Absolutely! So excited for Garth, that will be awesome!

Valentine’s Dinner
For Valentine’s Day we got home a little early so that we could make our favorite pasta dish, Fresh Ricotta and Egg Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter. (Who am I kidding, it’s one of our favorite dishes period! There’s really nothing like it.) I paired it with a salad of shaved fennel, brussel ...
yup, and a 1.5 Tbsp each of the yeast and salt

Foodie Weekend + New Craft Room pics!
Friday we took the day off work to go downtown and have lunch. It was the last day of Chicago Restaurant week so we headed down to David Burke's Primehouse for one of the most delicious lunches ever! We started out with appetizers. Lobster Bisque with a Lobster Spring Roll for me and East & ...

I bought plastic sticker tabs that have a hanger on
them so I just stick it to the back of the sticker pack and then I can hang it.
I hope that makes sense...

I used a piece of felt velcroed to a wooden block. A few drops of ink and a few of blending fluid, then you just swipe it across the page.

PTI Blog Hop: June 2011
It's been a long time since I've played around with a Blog Hop but since I'm home sick instead of at the Green Music Festival with Adam, I decided to jump in. Nichole gave us this photo as inspiration: {photo credit} I loved the way the colors all blended into each other so I focused on tha...

Help me out - light bulbs on a string?
Ok, I don't know why I can't think of a good term for this but do you see the lightbulbs on a string in the picture below. What would you call those? If I wanted to buy some for my backyard, where would I go, what would I search for? I've tried 'lightbulbs on a string', 'strung light bulbs', '...
We found them at Salvation Army. They had a bunch, we have them in several sizes. They were so odd the first time we saw them that we snatched them up but now we see them there all the time. The one on Rand rd by the Trader Joes. Turns out they are vintage martini pitchers...

Bacon Sage Popcorn
One of our favorite Chicago-area brewpubs has been open less than 2 years but is already leaps and bounds above most of the others. Revolution Brewing. Not only are their beers delicious but they have a unique menu full of fantastic pub fare. One menu item sticks out above the rest. Ask anyon...
Oh Janet, she is so beautiful! Congratulations to your ever-growing family of gorgeous little ones!

Bethany Noelle -- A Birth Story
I'm happy to admit it: I love birth stories. I love hearing about the many, many ways children come into the world. I know some people dislike them, preferring that that kind of information be kept private, but I love them. Especially when I am pregnant, I love searching for and reading a...
Oh yay! I'm so glad you guys are watching Parks and Rec. This new season airing now is hilarious too. Catch up so you can start watching it live!

Since everyone else is posting theirs, here's what it looks like in the Northwest Chicago Suburbs. We can't open our south facing door thanks to this 7 foot snow drift. Likewise, we can't even see out of our north facing window. Such a crazy sight. Completely bare driveway in the middle with...

2011: The Year of Story
Remember when I used to be a scrapbooker? I was even on the cover of a magazine once. This was back in the day when I only had one child who took regular naps, and I was guaranteed a few quiet hours all to myself each day. You can pretty much trace the decline of my scrapbooking to Ella giving...
