Knife + Spoon = Knoop - Whatever, it works!

Heidi returned this past summer from BlogHer with several promotional items. One that she shared with several of us was the Kiwifruit knife/spoon utensil. Today was the first time I tried using it and find that it works amazingly well! Highly recommend if you are a Kiwi eater, as opposed to a cake-eater and well, you know what to do!

P.S. Kiwi serves well with Cocoa Roast Almonds! Tummy-lious!!

This is Incredible!

Amazing painter. Watch till the end or you won't "get it". It is worth the wait.

Ask A Friend

As I flipped through the journal looking for a page to obey, this one caught my eye: "Ask a friend to do something destructive to this page. Don't look."


Since my fiance (wedding in 3.5 weeks!) and I are at a place where we pretty much do everything together, I thought it would be fitting to have him give the page a whirl. Turns out he was even having a bad day, so the timing worked really well! I didn't look as he destroyed, but it appears permanent markers and ripping were his primary weapons.

Cover Page with White (and Pink) Things

The assignment was to cover the page with white things, but as I started searching my home for white things I found more pink than white so I decided to cover the page with both! Some of things used were wrapping paper, string, rubber band, pipe cleaners and candy wrappers. It turned out to be a very pretty page and fun to do!
