Print Digging

Love these prints via Renegade Handmade:

This print is some how drawing me in: Orange Print

Maybe it's the fact that it's Christmas time, but I love the simplicity of these trees:

Trees In The Forest

What a neat way of thinking. Good food for inspiration!:

Things That Are Long (Letter Press)

Quilt Print

This one would be especially pleasing to my printmaking roommate:

Paper Series Print

Homemade Vanilla Extract

I am just amazed.

All it takes to make homemade vanilla extract is Vodka + vanilla beans(!!!)

After researching a bit, I realized why vanilla is so expensive.

You can buy vanilla online at beanilla.com.

I found this recipe on http://www.foodgawker.com/ via Petite Kitchenesse.

I found this picture on The Little Teochew.

Since We're on the Topic of Daddy...

These are the types of messes he leaves behind, and when I'm home in Augusta, I am pretty quickly reminded of them. But more importantly...

No, we don't own a restraunt. No, I don't have 7 brothers and sisters. My dad just LOVES buying HUGE quantities of everything...well, anything you can get from SAM's. So, maybe if we didn't have a huge tub of relish, and we didn't have to funnel relish into smaller bottles, then we wouldn't have these types of messes!!

(I still love my Daddy though.)

2006 C6 Series Corvette (Monterey Red)

After years, years, years, and years of waiting, saving, and sifting, Daddy has finally gotten the corvette he's always wanted! I'm so happy for him. Also, I am happy to be sitting in the passenger seat whenever possible!
