Pictures! (So many!)

One of my assignments for Goldstein's class was to keep a design journal...well I've always made little scrap books...so I took some pictures of my favorite pages...

I saw this little earth in a magazine and I loved the simplicity...and of course all the blue...so I drew some shapes around it...

Then I outlined them...

I'm thinking that I liked it better before I colored it in. Maybe I should have done all the blobs the dark blue of the outline...but oh well. It still looks neat.

This paper is awesome! It's this great, smooth vellum, and I wanted to write something behind it. Randomly I chose part of a letter from Mr. Darcy to Elizabeth...totally has nothing to do with like...weight or like...looking at yourself. Though I suppose it could be vaguely linked to self image and public perception. I totally wanted to write something meaningful behind it, but I was too lazy to search out the right passage. I do however, have the same paper with the same ad on it, but the guy is smaller. So I still have a chance to be meaningful!

I have so many pictures of lips it's insane. They just look so pretty in magazines...with all the lipstick and the glossy paper...

This picture of Alec is awesome.

Harris came in to visit and wanted me to take a picture of us. ^_^

This past Saturday I went to Suzie's and did an intense cookie baking session!

We made:

Lavender sugar cookies (my personal favorite and something I want to make again and again!)

Brown sugar cookies (also delicious...couldn't stop eating the dough) which were also rolled in brown sugar and regular sugar before baking.

Lemon clouds...they're lemon cookies with lemon glaze. SUPER LEMON POWER! These would be a good springtime cookie. Sue also has recipies for orange and lime cookies as well...so I'd like to make those this spring. Have a citrus cookie party.

Cinnamon swirls

Chocolate shells with homemade whipped cream and chocolate curls. Homemade whipped cream is the best. And the chocolate curls make these look so classy!

We also made jam thumbprints, but for some reason I have no pictures of those.

And Sue's cat Guinness for posterity!
