that vera book I was writing about—
I received a copy (direct from the publisher, thank you!) of the Vera book I was all wanty about back in December. It's just outstanding. Inspirational, compelling, educational, and really lovely to hold and handle. I love it dearly and am so amazed by Vera's artistic journey and lust for life...
i love this idea!

At this point I'm sure you all know I love Catslife Press stamps...I pretty much consider every new set of stamps a holiday... I received my order last week although if you're local I know Scrapbook Oasis will have them very soon. I loved all the love in this release...perfect for Valentine's ...

i say you get enough on a string to make a candy necklace. i'd wear it and then eat it. but then again, i LOVE candy corn. :)

It seemed like a good idea...
I mentioned last week that we had an ever-growing pile of Halloween ideas. Mac and I tried one from here today. How cute does candy corn garland sound? Stringing them along and draping them in the dining room for Mac's party. And it's a great excuse to buy two big bags of candy corn... Howeve...

she + he in august.
Today marks four months of marriage for she and he. It seems like the wedding was just yesterday. (She's still thrilled that the wedding planning is over.) (They worry they are becoming people who can't figure out where the time has gone.) She just finished reading No Impact Man. Which mean...

an italian meal.
Paul's family came to San Diego a weekend ago and we welcomed them to Little Italy with an Italian meal. I made focaccia bread (totally worth the excessive olive oil) and caprese salads and Paul fixed up chicken and pesto with fresh pasta. We almost rivaled some of the fancy restaurant...
i have blown up polaroids before. like you said, they do get grainy, but if you have a good quality scanner, you can make it so that it's not too grainy. a good printer can print a small portion so you'll have an idea of how grainy it is. you can also scan an print it yourself to see what it might look like. it's very artsy. it's totally possible and it has the potential to be very beautiful if done properly! hope that helps.

new home : bedroom.
It's very likely that we'll be moving again next June (military + medicine = a lot of moves) so I should probably get started on decorating our bedroom. Otherwise, I might as well begin focusing on our next place. The dresser with fancy knobs we have. The side table we have. The love sign ...
not to take anything away from gretchen's book, but have you read Happier by ben shahar? i think it's a better book.

THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
I just received a copy of 'The Happiness Project' by Gretchen Rubin for review. I am not a big self-help book reader/fan but I was interested in this book for many reasons. One thing I was not interested in reading it for was a how-to be happier workbook. I feel happy, really happy and g...

I have noticed people taking last day of school photos and decided I needed to do it too. Except I wasn't home when Mac got back from school today so I asked Sean to make sure it was well documented. Here is Mr. McIntosh O'Kane Jordan before and after his 6th grade year... He looks smarter, do...
coloring. dancing. cooking something. (i once had to help watch 20 kids with another girl. it was all last minute, so went down to the nearest pizza place and bought some of their pizza dough. had each kid designed his/her own pizza. i cooked them, they ate them. you could do the same thing with cupcakes, etc.) dress up. pin the tail on the donkey (or something similar). pinata! different age appropriate board games.
that's all i can think of. good luck with the kids!
