When it comes down to it, I am a collector at heart. I try to keep it in check, no sense in storing up riches...
But, there are some things that I just hang on to: favorite books, sea glass, great yarn, buttons, paint brushes, pictures, momentos from the boys, sweet reminders from the hubby, and of course recipe cards.
I like to search out recipes, I like to write them out, I like to share them and of course I love to cook them! I adore new recipes. I suppose recipe cards are one way that I collect cooking. I like to write little notes on them, what I tried different, what worked and what didn't. Or I write the date on it, as if I passed it after a music lesson! (you know, after you sufficiently accomplished a musical score you get the date put on it)
At any rate, recipe cards are on little paper product that I find endearing. (Can I say that?)
Obsession with Pink
I can't put my finger on the exact date when fushia/ pink became a problem. No, I wasn't a pink lover as a child. There were no pink comforters and pillow cases, I didn't wear pink ribbons. If you asked me what my favorite color was, I would have told you blue.
So what happened? I don't know. If you ask my husband I am color blind, or suffer from color dementia; some days I just don't know green from blue....
If I were asked to pick a color that best described me, I would not pick pink...
I must be in pink denial.
Eat Your Cake Too
Photographing your letterpress isn't always easy. I mean, it's a flat piece of paper! There are no angles on paper, again it's flat! So I have to get creative with the photography. Looking at photo after photo of pieces of paper gets menotinous pretty quick. Not to mention I loose motivation.
So generally, I end up using props. (Sounds so silly to say it). Props of something that is related.
Today= PINK CAKE!!!
And yes, I ate some.... I thought it made the photo...
Here is another treasury with some cute recipe cards....
