For Lillie and Lola’s new room I thought I would go a little out of my comfort zone and do something a bit brighter than my normal taste. They both want a bright pink room so I am going to do my best to make it as bright as I can bear for them.

Greetings! Dana, Jamie, and I volunteered to do a guest post for Jenni, allowing her a little extra time to finish up her packing in preparation for her move. Dana, Evie, and I would bake while Jamie would do the photographing. As always, what appeared to be and should have been a simple task emerged into an all-afternoon project! Not to mention, Dana was 200+ miles away in New Jersey by the time we realized we needed to get cookin’! Her short visit of 24 hours allowed no time for us to bake one of our all-time favorite desserts. So, unfortunately she was not here to lick the bowl or (fortunately) wonder why it took Jamie and me 4+1/2 hours to bake and then photograph a recipe we’ve been making for almost five decades.
Last week when I got tired of packing I decided to take a little break and do some painting. This will be the fourth place that Jon and I will have lived since we got married. Before each of our previous moves I painted and recovered furniture and made pillows and did as much work ahead of time as I could, so that when we moved in I would have a head start on each room.
Hello everyone! I hope you all have had a wonderful week. It’s been pretty busy here – just six more days until there is a new owner to our home. Ahhh! And along with all the craziness that comes along with moving Lola’s been sick and we had a pretty bad storm that knocked our power out for quite a while.
We have another new chalkboard ready in the shop! I have another handwritten one almost finished but seeing how it’s taking a little longer due to all the other craziness going on around here in our current mess of a house that I thought we would offer one I designed on the computer a little white ago.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! A little while ago the girls and I made some chocolate peanut butter truffles and I thought I would share the recipe for them again (I had shared it a couple of years ago in a Valentine’s craft post but thought I would make it easier to find by giving them their own post today).
