orange embroidery floss

My crafty solution: I wrapped some embroidery floss round and round until it didn’t fall off my finger. Perfect.
best day ever

making cookies: mocha shortbread
Posted: November 26, 2012 Filed under: Girl Talk | Tags: bake, Christmas, cookie, dessert, eat, Food, mocha, shortbread, tree 2 Comments »I made these cookies as a gift for the guy’s family for turkey day. We ate them over the weekend dipped in coffee with whipped cream on top. They were buttery, and crunchy, and you should probably make them soon.
lots of thanks to give

Definitely the memories.

Cool new iPad app
Posted: November 22, 2012 Filed under: Guy Talk | Tags: birthday cake, iPad app, Photo, test Leave a comment »I found a new iPad app to test editing photos with over the holidays. For anyone who knows me, I am not a photoshop savvy kind of guy (which is why the girl is much more skilled in that arena!) and so that is why when I found this app I thought I would give it the ol’ college try and I think I did ok! Just don’t look too closely at the yellow crumbs.
I used a simple picture of the birthday cake I made for the girl this past week. Overall it’s a pretty cool app that I’ll be trying on some other pictures later so stay tuned…

little turkeys

Instead of doing different colors of frosting for the turkey tail, we smashed some candy corns flat, and used them as tail feather decoration. What beautiful little turkeys. Happy Thanksgiving!
