SPECIAL DELIVERIES

I LOVE to bake...surprise right?

A sunny day in the kitchen, windows open, apron on, pandora streamed quietly in the background and a recipe just waiting for me to fix it up? Heaven.

There's just one slight problem. 

I only have so many neighbors, coworkers, friends, mailmen boyfriend and dog to consume my creations.

My coworkers are conviced I'm trying to get them all fat and I think my neighbors are getting sketched out by all the random goodies (I promise they're not poison!). And although I believe most things in moderation are ok and I usually healthfully-amend my recipes, trying to consume an entire batch of cookies before they 'go bad' is not good for anyone.

Soooo my recently-discovered solution?

Surprise! Special Delivery :)
I whipped up a batch of these BEST-EVER Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, these Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate! Cookies, and [modified] Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread (all compliments of Pinterest) over the weekend and off they went!

Nowadays with all communication going electronic everyone loves receiving some good-old-fashioned, non-bill mail right? Now imagine that mail edible and delicious...JACKPOT

Keep an eye out, you might be next!

PINTEREST

Call me behind the times, but I have JUST I been introduced to Pinterest. I've known about it for a while now, but for some reason I requested an invite and never got one so I figured it was some super hard-to-get-into clique, but apparently it's not. It took my friend Jaime about 2.5 seconds to secnd me an invite and another 2.5 seconds for me to log-in. (Thanks Jaime!)

I think this Pinterest thing was such a great idea. It has something for everyone and has a way of connecting users to things they love and maybe some things they never knew they loved. It's just fun. 

It took me a while to get the hang of it, but now, one week in, I am absolutely obsessed. I have more party ideas, decorating tips, yummy recipes and fall fashion looks than I know what to do with! But it's nice to go through the home decorating ideas and pretend that someday I could actually make a room in my house look like some of the pins these people post, or have the fashion sense to look as cute this fall as some of my fall fashion board does.

Whether I actually do any of the diy projects I pin or make any of the recipes that look oh so delicious, it's nice to know that all my pretty little Pins will sit on my Board and inspire me everytime I come back to them.

(p.s. Let me know if you need an invite!)
