I’m all a-dither this week with the approach of Mad Men’s new season! I’ve got a great give-away planned that even Betty would love and I’m going to have some fun with a collection of Mad Men inspired decorated iced cookies I’m making along with a quiz to see if you can match the cookie to the character! In the meantime while the cookies bake and the icing dries, I thought I’d share some ads I found from the 50’s… [Read More]
I’m feeling very silly today.Must be a hold-over from my childhood watching Saturday morning cartoons. Have you ever imagined you could have tea with the queen or be in a hot tub with Wills or Harry?

As you know, I love to plan parties and I’m on to the next one! I made these invitations this weekend and I’m debating between an anchor motif or the darling crabs. For the anchor invitation, I used the anchor die cut punch from the ‘Martha’ collection along with some rubber stamps. I wish I could say these were my own ideas but I learned how to make them at the Paper Source store. (A link to their workshops is… [Read More]
I have the best memories of summers at the drive-in theater in San Gabriel on Valley Blvd. My cousins and I would lay in the back of our station wagon munching on popcorn in brown paper bags brought from home while washing it down with 7-Up from the slender necked green bottles. James Bond with all his suave and sexy moves loomed larger than life on the screen. I fell hard and fast for Sean Connery and knew that’s how… [Read More]
