So I of course had to make something yummy to share with everyone. So I made some whoopie pies, strawberries n' cream and dreamsicle versions. These are super easy to make! The idea came from <a href="http://www.bakerella.com/">Bakerella</a>, she's awesome by the way if you have never read her blog. I took her <a href="http://www.bakerella.com/easy-and-easier-valentine-treats/">valentine treats reciepe</a> and modified. Instead of red velvet mixes in one batch I used strawberry mix and in the other I used orange cake mix with and additional 1/8 tsp of orange extract! For me I find it is best to allow the icing to sit in the fridge for a few hours, that way it doesn't run out of the cookies so easily.<br /><br />I always make some version of this cookie to take to parties— it is easy, everyone loves them, and they look impressive.<br /><br />I'll be posting my thoughts on all of the commercials over on my business <a href="http://source27.com/blog/2011/02/07/superbowl-2011-thoughts/">blog at Source27</a>.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TVAUzQxZ2KI/AAAAAAAABZI/-wZyPtPoDw4/s1600/Feb2011-3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TVAUzQxZ2KI/AAAAAAAABZI/-wZyPtPoDw4/s400/Feb2011-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570975609965369506" border="0" /></a><br />Seems as though we've had nothing but cold rainy weather the last week or so but I caught this fabulous sunset Saturday night in the clearing of the last storm to pass through.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TVAUzIT6zJI/AAAAAAAABZA/ejFW2TBiJiM/s1600/Feb2011-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TVAUzIT6zJI/AAAAAAAABZA/ejFW2TBiJiM/s400/Feb2011-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570975607694216338" border="0" /></a><br />Hope you all have a great Monday!

I need to sew my lining (it is pinned and ready for that), sew my dowel pockets (again pinned and ready), and need to attach all the loops, cords, and pull.

That is why I purchased <a href="http://cottagebythegulf.blogspot.com/2010/10/look-at-what-i-got.html">my Lee sofa</a> from <a href="http://traceryinteriors.wordpress.com/">Tracery Interiors</a>, I think it will be a versatile piece that will last me through trends and stand up against our daily abuse.</div><div><br /></div><div>While our living space is not as I want it yet, I was reminded this past weekend that it just takes time. We lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 4 years and it wasn't until the last year that I started loving the space we lived in. It just takes time. </div><div><br /></div><div>This is the reminder I came across:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TUYpUqHLv9I/AAAAAAAABYE/4v-rqX_zes4/s400/Jan2011-23.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568183424168738770" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px; " /></span></div><div>This was from our last apartment in California, it took 4 years of collecting thing and putting them together before I started having those moments of satisfaction just by being in the space. Even though I never completely got there because of the rules of renting, this space started coming close towards the end. (Just note this was at thanksgiving so I did not have the red table cover on everyday.)</div><div><br /></div><div>So just remember when you are getting in a rush to get a room finished, it takes time. Keep old reminders handy in those moments of panic. And before making a big purchase ask yourself will I still want this in the room 5 years from now? We've had to purchase too many couches before we learned our lesson.</div>Angela Vaughnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16795669778057606235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156183120798579600.post-82987263337612135002011-01-31T05:57:00.001-06:002011-01-31T05:57:00.819-06:00What I Made<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TUYnM5lrKEI/AAAAAAAABX8/8Cv8ZuEFn-k/s1600/Jan2011-24.jpg"></a>You ever just have a Sunday evening when you just have to throw dinner together with whatever you have in the fridge? Yeah well we had 2 steaks, some eggs, bacon, turnips greens, condiments, and a few other odds and ends in ours last Sunday. And needless to say I was not in the mood to venture to the grocery store. So this my friends is what I made:<div><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TUYnM5lrKEI/AAAAAAAABX8/8Cv8ZuEFn-k/s400/Jan2011-24.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568181091860949058" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 222px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div><div>Broiled steaks, over greens with poached eggs. The best part? It was really simple, yet it looks like it wasn't. Even better part? It was so delicious we'll have it again sometime.</div></div></div>Angela Vaughnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16795669778057606235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156183120798579600.post-86081428754002038322011-01-27T06:09:00.001-06:002011-01-27T08:24:47.722-06:00Feeling Royal<div style="text-align: left;">Over the weekend the hubs and I went to the movie "The Dilemma". If you have seen this or will see it pay attention to "the intervention" scene. The chair that Vince Vaughn sits in is to-die-for! Seriously. It had a royal blue silky fabric on it with a large bright floral pattern on it. If you have seen this chair on the web please share a link.</div><div><br /></div><div>Days before I saw the chair I was finding myself drawn to royal blue items, are these all just fabulous? I swear if I were preggo, which I AM NOT ( I repeat I am not mom), I would be very tempted to make a modern nursery using the royal blue color.</div><div><br /></div><div>Wouldn't these items make you feel royal too?</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TT7yNYx1jvI/AAAAAAAABXk/5uoChZZt4jA/s400/4_xDSCN8823.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566152501280214770" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">{ Liza Sherman Antiques <a href="http://shopad.net/account/item_details.php?AID=lizashermanantiquesny&itemID=136874">Hand Blown Glass Blue Chandelier</a> }</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TT7yNhwMRJI/AAAAAAAABXs/AjcALunfznw/s400/il_570xN.204901484.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566152503689233554" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">{<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/65083374/original-contemporary-abstract-oil?ref=sr_gallery_2&ga_search_query=blue%2Bpainting&ga_search_type=all&ga_page=28">Original Abstract Painting</a> from Jen R}</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TT7yNyG1vmI/AAAAAAAABX0/PnnyjhUBlqA/s400/Picture%2B4.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566152508079193698" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 269px; height: 400px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">{<a href="http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/momeni-koi-07/blue/126KO07-59059R.html">Koi Collection Rug</a> from Rugs USA}</div><div><br /></div><div>How about these fabrics?

It is a clothing line that is all designed and made just the other side of the highway from me. You can find Judith March in boutiques along 30A and Sandestin area. For the best selection try <a href="http://www.shopwithdejavu.com/">DejaVu</a> in Seaside or Peir Park, the owner owns both the clothing line and boutiques from my understanding.<br /><br />Here are a few beauties I must have ASAP:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TTxMzm-0WEI/AAAAAAAABWs/rAxuOoUgjsg/s1600/446d-1BlackWhiteChevron.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TTxMzm-0WEI/AAAAAAAABWs/rAxuOoUgjsg/s400/446d-1BlackWhiteChevron.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565407689044154434" border="0" /></a>A black and white chevron with ruffles <a href="http://www.judithmarch.com/collections_detail.cfm?form=241">dress</a>, pair with red heels and gold and red accessories.

They are good quality made chairs and just need to be updated a bit.

We'll start our morning out drinking up some "Crack Coffee" at Lair's Club Cafe, while feasting on their scrumptious breakfast. I'll post details later on the specials there and what "crack coffee" is all about. The agenda for the rest of the day includes a follow up lasik appt for the hubs, a scotch tasting, and exchange of stockings between the hubs and I. I would like to start some kind of tradition for Christmas Adam, maybe we'll happen upon one during the day!</div>Angela Vaughnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16795669778057606235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156183120798579600.post-30946581766165449562010-12-22T06:16:00.002-06:002011-01-23T09:57:31.070-06:00Won't You Be My Neighbor<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TRD-CFrUi2I/AAAAAAAABPg/P8TGePjj1Mo/s1600/547201_0811250.jpg"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TRD-BxL6CWI/AAAAAAAABPY/oZtwBPAMK_8/s1600/547201_0467500.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TRD-BxL6CWI/AAAAAAAABPY/oZtwBPAMK_8/s400/547201_0467500.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553217646884424034" border="0" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TO7TepYY6aI/AAAAAAAABL4/JCva74zz80M/s1600/548423_0863750.jpg"></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">It's time again for the segment "Won't You Be My Neighbor".

I am slightly freaked out by it all, but I am trying to remain calm and maintain composure about it. Everyone keeps asking me what I would like for my birthday. I feel like I have so much in life and it is hard to think of anything that I have to have.<div><br /></div><div>But a few things did pop into my head that would be nice for my birthday:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Dinner at my favorite restaurant <a href="http://www.stinkysfishcamp.com/">Stinky's Fish Camp</a> </div><div>2. A fresh strawberry cake from <a href="http://www.edgarsbakery.com/">Edgar's</a> in Birmingham </div><div>3. Spend a day antiquing</div><div>4. A good bottle of Chardonnay </div><div>5. Fresh flowers for my desk</div><div><br /></div><div>What did you do for your big 3-0 or plan to do? With my birthday being right after Christmas and New Years a big celebration is just way too much to ask of everyone, myself included. So I think a simple weekend of no work and enjoying the company of others would be best.</div>Angela Vaughnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16795669778057606235noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156183120798579600.post-26662791752123905482010-12-20T06:23:00.000-06:002010-12-20T06:23:00.349-06:00The Small Things Add Up<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TQ6mV99fc3I/AAAAAAAABPI/yslfVgSNa4E/s1600/rs-cover-1110-facebook_300.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 357px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OufCNZV0u1k/TQ6mV99fc3I/AAAAAAAABPI/yslfVgSNa4E/s400/rs-cover-1110-facebook_300.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552558286934340466" border="0" /></a><br />In this January's 2011 issue of Real Simple Magazine I came across this month's questions posed.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" ><span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192); font-weight: bold;">{What is the one small thing that always makes you happy?}</span></span><br /><br />Wow how powerful is that! It kind of makes you step back and ponder for a bit. Thinking about this for myself I came up with TONS of small things in my life that make me happy. And not a single one is a tangible item that can be purchased, but rather a collection of moments throughout my day.<br /><br />For instance the short list of my long list of items that make me happy:<br /><br /><ol><li>The way my hubs always compliments me when I wear orange.</li><li>The way my affenpinscher looks at me adoring as though I am the only person in the world.</li><li>A phone call from momma just because she wanted to see how my day was.</li><li>Sitting on the porch drinking whiskey with daddy at dusk.</li><li>Hearing the song Footloose randomly come the radio.</li><li>Opening the car windows on a beautiful day to feel the wind on my face.</li><li>The smell of fall time outside with the first coolness of winter to come.<br /></li><li>The feeling of accomplishment once I have cleaned our house.</li><li>Sharing a laugh amongst friends.</li><li>Starting a new creative project.<br /></li></ol><br />What are the simple things that make your life so happy? We all tend to over complicate our lives, which is why I love exercises like the one Real Simple posed this month. It really makes you take stock and realize maybe everything doesn't have to be perfect, maybe you don't have to have that new car, or a new house, but rather enjoy what you are missing every day in your life already.Angela Vaughnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16795669778057606235noreply@blogger.com0
