Ray Ban

I'm so sad that I think I've lost my Ray Ban Aviator sunglasses.  I did find one online to replace for $139.

Valentine's Day

This year and possibly for many more years to come, we're giving Bella's teachers at school red nail polish with the personalized photo card above.  The banner and text was added using PicMonkey.com. 

For her classmates, we're attaching Valentine themed pencils to this super cute "You A-Maze Me!" freebie download from http://www.papercoterie.com/blog/love-note-printables/.

Summer Corn Salad

I made this for a dinner side tonight.  I used 2 ears of corn, a medium tomato, 1/4 cucumber, 1 cup edamame.  Toss with olive oil, salt, lemon pepper and juice of 1/2 lemon.  Serve chilled. 

Rosemary Garlic Roasted Veggie Salad

 

On a warm summer day, a cold rosemary garlic roast veggie salad is a crowd pleaser.  Simply slice your veggies of choice.  Toss with fresh rosemary, minced garlic and roast in the oven at 500 degrees for 15-20 mins on a baking sheet.  Serve chilled. 

Custom Photocards

Scallop Dinner

I bought some scallops from Farmers Market a couple weeks ago.  I've always been intimidated with cooking scallops.  My sister told me a while back that they're super easy to prepare so she never orders it at restaurants anymore.  Prompted by my sister's claim, I gave it a go.  The vendor told me no more than 4 mins total, 2 mins on each side.  He suggested cooking in the pan with butter and white wine.  I added an orange glaze I made with orange juice.  It was yummy.

Sauteed mushrooms with just a little bit of olive oil and oyster sauce for flavor.

Brussels sprouts were microwaved for 2 1/2 mins covered with a little water and balsamic vinegar.

Target

I don't generally post about my little girl since this blog is suppose to about my crafting.  However, I DID make her!  She's made appearances here as my model.  She's been working in the biz now for about 2 years.  Her most recent is this week's Target mailer...you know the ad in the Sunday paper.  She can be found on pg 2 (the one in the purple).  She shot this back in March at Zuma Beach.  She recent shot another ad with them a few weeks ago in LA at a private home.  I'm assuming it will be out sometime in July, but they didn't give us a firm date.

I love Target and shop there nearly every week.  While in store this week, I found this awesome fedora for only $3.88.  Now, you just can't beat that. 

I took a picture of myself to see how it looks on and I'm thrilled at how flattering it is.  I'll be sporting this hat all summer long : )
