STATIONARY!

Lindsay of Fresher Than Fresh snowcones gave me some stationary last night that was just TOO CUTE!

She knows I like tofu. So she gave me some San-X Hannari Tofu stationary.

These guys are adorable!

Look at his little grill marks on his head!

Cute details on the envelopes too.

AND… Lindsay gave me some cupcake stationary!

Gosh… folks will put mustaches on ANYTHING these days. But the cupcakes are too cute. What personalities they have!

These are the different pages of stationary. There is scallop edge frame on the back with plenty of whitespace to write your letter.

There are even little stickers so you can make you own mustache face! The envelopes are darling too!

Thanks Lindsay! You made my day ^.^

A few months ago a co-worker brought some cookies to work and they were so good I asked her for the recipe. She said she made them out of Ghirardelli brownie mix! What? A cookie, a brownie AND Ghirardelli chocolate?!? I had to try to make it myself.

You’ll need a box of Ghirardelli Carmel Turtle brownie mix, 1/2 stick of softened butter, 1 egg and some pecan halves. (The recipe is on the back of the box).

Preheat oven to 350. Mix the ingredients together with the dry brownie mix with your mixer. There is a carmel packet in the box. Save it for later.

Spoon tablespoons of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

I used a wooden tip of a spatula to poke holes into the center of each cookie. Fill with the carmel from the packet from the brownie box.

Place a pecan half on top of the carmel spot.

Bake at 350 for 11-13 minutes.

Yum-yum… all done!

Last summer I did a series of how many days in a row I could wear a DIFFERENT gray outfit. The total came to 22 outfits!

Now that spring is almost here I’m bringing back gray is great with some fall/winter items that I couldn’t show last time AND some new stuff.

So here’s today’s gray outfit.

DAY #1
