That's right. I did a paint by number.

PAINT BY NUMBER

I didn't even pick it out.

My friend did.

I wanted to not think about it THAT MUCH.

once and a while, you just want to do a meditative mindless, least stress possible,  cute, paint by number that your friend buys you for Christmas.  Thanks Pam!

ITALIAN PAINTING

I am finally calling the Italian themed painting for my Aunt Valerie finished.  

Not much else to say but it's finished!  Horay!!

Day 1_ Favorite Food {30 day Photo Challenge}

     I have not joined instagram (late anyways) but on Pinterest there are a lot of these "30 Day Photo Challenges" going around.  My friend [ Mariposa we'll call her] is passionate about photography and I was thinking it would be fun to *do* one of these challenges with her.  

I personally have failed at focusing on these, but I am putting up a few.  She has been doing AWESOME.

DAY ONE PHOTO CHALLENGE!!

FAVORITE FOOD IS COFFEE.

Maybe not the "Price Rite" brand, although it's OK, my favorites are most anything from Joe's Coffee House online, Birds and Beans "The Good Coffee" online and TRES MARIPOSAS! which is "coffee roasted for friends" and I call her and her two daughters my "Tres Mariposas" like my Three Musketeers. I love them to the moon and back. I died when I learned about this coffee company.  It's in Vermont too!  Love Vermont.  

So if you are ever thinking of a gift for me, and Movie Tickets seem Passe to you... Coffee from these places is a WIN.  ;P

Oh, and that Latte maker?  We got hitched back in May 2013. 

Here's the thing if you want to keep score.  I'm only on Day one, and she's on like... day 8.  I'm a week behind.  SIGH.
