Krystal Lovers!

I found out today that a couple, whose wedding I photographed, was one of the five winners of the Krystal Lovers Love Story contest. I thought having your Krystal story on the side of Krystal box would be cool, but to be one of this five would be every better. Best of all, they will receive a $100 gift card and "romantic" dinner complete with white tablecloth and candles at Krystal. Congrats guys...and I agree whole-heartedly with Paul.

Soup Weather

I might be a wedding photographer, but I'm really a closet 50s housewife. I love to cook. While easy has its occasional appeal, I prefer doing things from scratch. I love making cinnamon rolls from scratch. I love making pizza with my own dough. I've even made sausage from scratch (ground the meat, added spices and stuffed it into natural casings).

Tonight, I decided soup would be appropriate considering the cold, rainy night. After a quick trip to Fresh Market, I began the multi-hour process. After the chopping, simmering, and seasoning, I had a pot of thick, meaty black bean soup. It wasn't pretty, but it was really good...if I do say so myself.

the 6 o'clock stitch

The 6 o'clock stitch is the brain child of Gina. She creates unique, personalized toys, blankets, and berries (crib shoes). Each is beautifully detailed from a variety of trendy fabrics. They are super cute, and I know many of them will make it to my house. Best of all, she uses Etsy to make it easy to order. Etsy is like eBay for artists. Take a minute to check out Gina's work, then see every Etsy has to offer.
