Letterpress Business Cards

Just finished up these custom business cards for a new blog called Return to Sunday Supper. Susie wanted her card to include a whisk with a heart to represent the purpose of her blog...to inspire families to gather together for dinner and share both their lives and good food.

Custom Baby Feet Stationery

Macy's mother, Adrienne, got in touch with me not too long ago looking for cards she could use as thank you notes for all of the wonderful baby gifts she received. I illustrated these baby feet for her and printed them on thick, 300gsm Crane paper. And of course, the thank you notes wouldn't be complete without matching pink envelopes!

Jo & Greg Save the Dates

The bridesmaid assembly team, including myself, was going strong last night working on these save the dates for our friends Greg and Jo. A bottle of wine later, the twine had been tied, the pictures glued, and the envelopes addressed and stuffed.Whew! We were all really pleased with how they turned out!

Pancakes

Lately, I've fallen into the routine of whipping up a batch of pancakes on Saturday morning and pairing them with a steaming hot cup of coffee straight from my french press. I'm really loving these pancakes, which I make without any flour. Based on the ingredients, you may wonder how in the world this could make a pancake, but they really are a delicious healthy alternative to traditional pancakes! Here is what you need:
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 or 3 egg whites
1 packet sugar subsitute (or real sugar if you prefer)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
*I also use a pinch of baking soda so that the pancakes fluff up a bit when on the skillet.

Blend mixture, then pour into individual pancakes onto the skillet. Add a little syrup and have yourself a great morning!
