Better late than never!

6.9.11-

  Found these on my computer today & thought they were worth posting. 

They were a few quick snap shots I took while the photographer extraordinaire {Haley} stepped away for a bit during the 365 Swap.  

Brings back some great memories of the Swap!! 

-Look at this fabulous looking darling group!  So glad you all came
{& thanks again for all the Scrumptious cupcakes J & K a.k.a Whimsy Cupcake girls} -

 One happy Swapper-  Ticey enjoying taking a break & keeping a close eye on her stash! 
{fun stuff!}

-P double S- did you know that Haley made that frame just to display all those amazing earrings - great idea!  

I'm sure this little one will love rocking away in that adorable blue rocker. 
{Wonder if it stayed that color or if it got a paint job? Hmmm... }  

Ahhh... what a great night.  We'll have to do it again soon {*wink, wink*}

-info. on that & more Cultivate goings on coming soon-

Talking about No. 3!

6.6.11- 

  What a fun day meeting up with the rest of the Cultivate girls here to discuss & re-cap the 365 Swap No. 2 & start dreaming, planning & sharing ideas for Swap No. 3 

{Coming in the Fall} 

*-more info. to come soon- SO EXCITED!-* 

It's always great to share lunch w/ everyone each month. 

My new favorite thing to eat at Paradise Bakery is their Zucchini Walnut Muffins- delish!  

{Must be Summertime-  because I can't wait to have a garden full of Zucchini & trying to figure out what to do with it all ;) } 

It's been a good day, hope it has been for you too!

She did it!!

I know this is old news to most of you..but...there might be some of you out there who haven't heard, and for the rest...it won't hurt to watch it again:) 

Melissa was on Studio 5! Talking all about our 365 SwAp! How fun! And she was amazing! check it out, and see for yourself....

Doesn't she look so cute?  Didn't she do great? Can you imagine doing such a thing? Such courage:):)

Now its time to start thinking/planning for the 365 SawP #3 - yay!

2 sticks salted butter room temp
3/4 c firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 c sugar
2 eggs (take out the gross white umbilical cord thingy please - yuck!)
1 tsp vanilla (white mexican is the best..but hard to find)
...mix together with hand (very important)
then add..
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
and then about 1 1/2c flour

then the WHOLE bag of mini choco chips (you are under a binding contract by reading this recipe to NEVER .. EVER put in less than the whole bag:)

then keep adding flour by the 1/2c until its kind of sticky, but not to sticky...so if you roll out a one inch ball it will leave a film on your hands.

then bake at 350 for 6-7 minutes...I take them out of the oven as soon as I see the smallest bit of browning on top...sometimes they even look uncooked...but that way they stay nice and soft:) then I let them cool on aluminum foil


thats it!!  ....hope you share:)
love, Haley
