Smitten Kitchen posted a recipe for homemade poptarts. So clever and cheeky... These are now on my line-up of 'have to try' recipes. mmm mmmm... Divine.

You will want to be her.

Photography by my other really cool talented bestie, Lauren Larsen & Woodsy asked me to design this postcard for her & the band. such fun.

Book her, she will not disappoint. She sang at my wedding ceremony & stole the show. :) trust me on this one.

Loved this... click here to enlarge. Very humorous & useful... enjoy!

canNOT wait.

I absolutely, positively, without-a-doubt, please keep me from squealing, you better-believe-it, smack me upside the head, canNOT wait for SATC2. Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor & go try to steal SJP's gold glitter Loubys that I have been eyeing for incredibly too long. This post just fuels my love for SJP even more & takes it to an unhealthy level. mark. my. words... I am counting down the days. {I confess, I do love the story line, but I more so go to drool over the fashion statements & gorgeous apparel.} sigh.

Habitually Chic did an awesome post on Carrie & Big's decor in their apartment.

lemony fresh weekend...

Nothing says fresh to me like the taste & smell of lemons... we have some huge, sweet lemons from California that I want to consume this weekend that were generously given to us by a co-worker. I am thinking the cookies above look delightful, from Real Simple... I've have them flagged for a while, & I think this weekend is the perfect time to give them a whirl. mmm mmmm.

We have been eagerly awaiting our Meyer Lemon Tree to bloom {hoping it will turn out looking like the one above with my black thumb...}My sweet parents gave it to us as our 2 year anniversary gift... how perfect is that? I have been wanting one for quite some time now... I cannot wait to just be be able to walk in the backyard to pluck one up for a treat on a whim.

This weekend also equals spring cleaning at the Frazier household & I cannot wait... weird? yes. My wonderful mother-in law gave me this all- purpose beeswax cleaning polish {above}in my Easter basket... it really is awesome & I can't wait to abuse it to its fullest this weekend. Give it a try, it will not disappoint.

Here's to a lemony, fresh weekend & hopefully some sun...

charts.

It comes as not surprise to me that I love this site... anything that feeds my anal need to organize, label, plan, & chart out life pretty much fits my fancy.

Cook on.

I recently made this poster {above} for our kitchen... {more like, replicated the popular "Keep Calm & Carry On" Poster, & changed it to my liking.:) } I went ahead and made it 8.5" x 11", 300dpi, & uploaded it to my docstoc. If anyone wants a copy for themselves, you can follow the link & download it with nicer print quality or enlarge... I created a darker grey version option, as well. It should look nice with a white matte around it, maybe... free art? :)

If you feel inclined & want to make your own version, I just downloaded the "London tube" font from fontspace.com, which resembled the original font and created a corresponding image up top.

Happy Cooking & Enjoy!

shelf.

Before:

After:

About a year ago, our neighbor across the street was throwing out this shelving unit, so Ry plucked it up for the back deck & I finally got around to finishing it out. I reinforced it with some nails to make it sturdier & used up some {free} old gray paint from another project. {I know, I know, more gray...} I then distressed it back down to the red a bit with a putty knife & painted chalkboard labels. Finally, no more clutter on the back porch. :)

who doesn't love Pixar...

This is one of those incredible graphics that you must see fullsize... {click on link & scroll to the right.} Its a size comparison of all of the Pixar characters and its pretty legit... Nemo is so tiny compared to Sulley... I want this blown up in poster size. I can't help but smile looking at the individual silhouettes, I love each and everyone of them, from Woody to Ellie...

SP10 / SUM10 Inspriation

{I am horrible & have been saving these images for a while... I failed to save their credited source. I sincerely apologize... }

Flirty, fun, feminine, graceful Spring/ Summer inspiration for your presual & editorial needs. I love that its all about layering, detail, & feminine touches this season. Girls can be girls... and own it well.

On another note, hurrray! for getting to finally bust out the white shoes, pants, & frocks to welcome Spring. Yes, I do still follow this rule... shamlessly & proudly. :)

summer frocks.

I go back & forth on my love for H&M, sometimes I love what they are doing, sometimes their solids bore me... but right now they have my heart with these dresses priced from $19.99-$29.99. They just launched a line of eco-friendly clothing... talk about saving the earth, and money! Now if they would only open one in the Big D.... the rumor has been floating around for far too long.

April Fool's

Free People is very comical...
