holiday card 2010

Handmade holiday cards are a wonderful way to spread cheer.

In fact, I look forward to the painstaking process of

assembling dozens of family greetings for the holidays.

Each year evokes a new idea.

For 2010, I opted to do an 'ornament'.

Sneak a peek and happy holidays!

Organized and ready for production!

barefoot contessa's kitchen + new cookbook

I've loved Ina Garten's (Barefoot Contessa) East Hampton barn kitchen

since I first saw it in her cookbook, "Back to Basics".

All that white + light! I can see myself hanging, cooking + entertaining

in that fabulous space.

I have all of her cookbooks, which include the latest my sister surprised me with,

"how easy is that?"

I've already made the panko crusted salmon, yum!
