Be CrEaTiVe. Be JeAlOuS.

be creative.

when you have time at home.

and nothing to do.

be creative.

this is how i've spent the last several

months of my life.

be jealous.

i finished the coolest/hardest ever beatles puzzle.

was it worth it? MOST DEFINATLY!

i re-experience my italy trip as i scrapbook it daily.

here are my awesome pillowcases

(middle one was for dad for his birthday)

and it is my pleasure to introduce you to...

mantis (from kung foo panda)

and petri (from the land before time)

my new valentines day

plate.

and i have been baking like no other.

this is lemon meringue pie (perfect the first time!)

and i make homemade bread at least once a week...

don't you just wish you had all the free time that i have?

it's ok.

you can go ahead and be jealous now.
