The Big Peach

I used to drive past this big beautiful peach every summer on my way to dance/cheer camp in Vincennes, Indiana.  That last time I saw it was probably 10 years ago, and I just now finally snapped some photos of it.  Good thing it's still there.

Traveling on Route 66

Started traveling Route 66 today! Couldn't wait to wear my necklace!! :) - Anastasia

A customer recently sent me this note, and it made me so very happy.  I love that this necklace is making its way along Route 66.  Hope that I get to do this myself one day!

Glam Arm Candy

Here are a couple of new bracelet styles that are available in the shop.  The added sparkle make these perfect for evenings spent out and about.  The nautical colored bracelet is the same style as my Mint Sparkle Bracelet.

Are you a fan of sparkly accessories?

Stutz Artist Opening

*taken by Miranda

Miranda and I attended the annual artist opening at the Stutz building.  I was actually more curious about the cars and the building more than the art.  I will admit that I'd give anything to have one of those studio spaces, though.

Cupcakes and Silliness

Had to get a replacement camera for my deceased G11.

My nieces came to visit, and I took them for their first ever Flying Cupcake.

Goofing around with my plushies.  Max Sammich just joined the bunch.

Posting childhood memories on Instagram.

Got some awesome gifts from a dear friend.  The hand is holding a poop covered dime... because one time a maintenance guy thought I really needed one.

Hanging out with co-workers.  Yes, I have another job besides my business.

Ordered some Roadside America/Route 66 fabric that I'm obsessing over.

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Streudel

You can probably guess the ingredients in this dish based on the title.  This is another what-can-I-do-with-these-crescents recipe.   :)

1.  You'll need a tube of crescent rolls, peanut butter, a banana, chocolate chips, egg whites, and cinnamon.
2.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.  Unroll your crescents and press them together to create one large piece of dough.
3.  Spread on peanut butter.
4.  Sprinkle chocolate chips and add slices of banana.
5.  Roll up your dough.
6.  Brush the top of the roll with egg whites and sprinkle with cinnamon.
7.  Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
8.  Remove the roll from the oven and wrap in tin foil.
9.  Place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.  Cut and serve.

This makes for a tasty breakfast or snack.

Feeling Beachy

I've always been a huge fan of the beach.  Unfortunately, I don't get to visit very often.  Since visiting Mexico, the beach is pretty much all I can think about.

This bracelet has a hint of gold weaved into the brown leather and features a seahorse, a sand dollar, a seashell, and a starfish.  Get one for yourself in my shop!  If you'd prefer one of these charms on a ring, just let me know.  :)
