It's been a while!

I cannot believe how much time has passed since my last entry! Christmas and New Years have come and gone! I have been super busy with work and other things... which is good!

What have I been up too? Well lets see, I'll go all the way back to Christmas! For Christmas my husband and I made holiday candles for our friends and family which was super fun! I got great gifts from my roommate and husband, those being a cool music keyboard for my iPad (oh yeah! I got an iPad too, a little before Christmas from my husband!) and a bread maker, which I absolutely love and have been using to make delicious bread!

Mmmm yummy Christmas foods I made!

New years was very laid back and fun... a little champagne, some fireworks, and some good movies! Then my dad and little brother came to visit for a bit all the way from Michigan!  I also did a lot of work getting ready for the upcoming trade shows for Spartina 449. I went to Atlanta for about a week to set up our showroom and walk the show.  Photo shoots, catalogs, order forms, posters, and a ton of other down to the wire things had to be done which left me exhausted by the end of the day! Everything was successfully completed and our new line is a hit!! The Spring/Summer 2012 line will be available online sometime in March.

I received this tasty treat from one of my coworkers!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Did a little cooking today which was super good if I may say so myself! I think we went a little overboard considering there was only two of us tonight... but uhhh that just means lots of leftovers!!!

I've been a little busy lately thinking about Christmas Gifts and such but I have a few days off from work to get some drawing and maybe some doll photography in!

Cutely Spotted Bags, Cookies and Halloween fun!

What does it mean when you design handbags for a living and then go home and design handbags for fun? I guess that means you just really like handbags! ::sigh::

Mmmm, so I thought I would share this tasty treat! I made some Oatmeal Cookies last night that were super yummy and surprisingly easy! I have never fancied myself a cook... I have even gone as far as to say I HATE cooking... but recently... I FEEL LIKE SUPER BAKING COOK LADY! and I LOVE IT! hahahah who knew...

Last night my husband and I were having a major sweets craving but did not want to leave the house. We had almost NOTHING in the house... just one box of cupcake mix that required eggs... but there were no eggs. Upon seeing the large container of Oatmeal we had in the pantry, I snapped online found a recipe for Simple Oatmeal Cookies and went to town using what we had around: Quick Oatmeal, Sugar (I used Brown Sugar), Raisins, Butter, Flour, and Baking Soda. 20 minutes of bake time and BOOM! DONE! DELICIOUS!

And now moving on to Halloween! Yes... Halloween has come and gone and we already have Christmas decorations set up at my work... AHHHH! But I want to share some Halloween pics anyway! Me and my hubby, Greg, getting ready to go out for a night on the town!

Greg's scary pumpkin!

Me and my BEAUTIFUL roomate Ashe! Isn't he pretty! We were Gothic Vampire Lolita's! My husband was our food. hahahah

My tiny pumpkin!

My roomate after pumpkin carving... Scary! I hope everyone had major fun this Halloween! We sure did!
