here and there and everywhere!

SUN SUN SUNNY DAYS!! (but its going away tomorrow…oh well)

We’ve been doing outdoorsy things lately! Lots of walk, talks, and picture taking. I’m too lazy to scan in all the polaroids…but SOON!.
We did day trips this past weekend and last weekend. We hiked to Punchbowl Falls! So PRETTY outside! There are parts where water drips and sprinkles all over you while you follow around the rocks and edge of the trail. I can’t wait to keep exploring all the trails and go CAMPING!!!!

We also found a cute little antique store in Stevenson, Wa. (the smallest town ever!) I bought a frame of course. I keep collecting and collecting so I have plenty of them on hand!

I made some mini muffins for the art opening at Seven Virtues! And I made my first pizza crust ever! I can’t believe it turned out! The recipe is from a book I got from the library called Kneadlessly Simple by Nancy Basset. You just mixed the ingredients and let it rise at different stages…but you barely have to knead anything. I had my doubts…but it worked! I think I might change it up a bit next time…tasted almost too doughy. But other than that I was proud!

ok, I just wanted say a quick Hello! But now I need to finish a piece so Matt can work on it too. Its part of a “Influence” project for Errata Gallery. Multiple people work on a board and pass it along. You can pass it to as many people as you want. I already passed one off to a neat little lady named Kelsey! Can’t wait to see all the finished pieces and how we influence each other!
