It is finally finished. I've so enjoyed this process and can't wait to get started on another photobook project full of fascinating memories.pinkcloud110406http://www.blogger.com/profile/04592087455546684789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789633040533099542.post-45642908005326182942011-12-03T18:12:00.001-08:002011-12-03T18:19:06.412-08:00Happy Holidays!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh00SOle5Ph3Y3in5un0mzaqPuvg9mojmgFoHN6fjjeElvzl_nSWiNWDeo2eLc21QpG3OL3Bucb7txebGu8vCMaXZ8Ctkb-txh3YxVBrlfdcwN4SJtwASxu_wlixNyKALXUznE3BzMkxm6k/s1600/P1000023.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682091823756857058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh00SOle5Ph3Y3in5un0mzaqPuvg9mojmgFoHN6fjjeElvzl_nSWiNWDeo2eLc21QpG3OL3Bucb7txebGu8vCMaXZ8Ctkb-txh3YxVBrlfdcwN4SJtwASxu_wlixNyKALXUznE3BzMkxm6k/s400/P1000023.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Eewel1BtHKft6xAOw1g_ntZH0lv0wSO7mX4k27uUAQ0mtsMO59fBMxU-Us7qKDYYce9Gy7VGOLdZphDZ0o61WfXD2ZGeUnxFLqh4WTScSzYTkb6tFAcaWf0SchtCEo6D8ETYTAgNdaX1/s1600/P1000026.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682091813518322594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Eewel1BtHKft6xAOw1g_ntZH0lv0wSO7mX4k27uUAQ0mtsMO59fBMxU-Us7qKDYYce9Gy7VGOLdZphDZ0o61WfXD2ZGeUnxFLqh4WTScSzYTkb6tFAcaWf0SchtCEo6D8ETYTAgNdaX1/s400/P1000026.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEharrehxmQuxY3Qzu6FiBS2gLiwXSjWEGk0pvTARxPdpCuiDjBpYII5hyphenhyphene0aEVz0mhHdvXBPMyz2DqVH493h_q8TSGxQVFEobqdQs5FunPo__rUdAdCD7wLC3-2lQ7Gqpi2JQI0KH-gznNn/s1600/P1000027.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682091811475167650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEharrehxmQuxY3Qzu6FiBS2gLiwXSjWEGk0pvTARxPdpCuiDjBpYII5hyphenhyphene0aEVz0mhHdvXBPMyz2DqVH493h_q8TSGxQVFEobqdQs5FunPo__rUdAdCD7wLC3-2lQ7Gqpi2JQI0KH-gznNn/s400/P1000027.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>pinkcloud110406http://www.blogger.com/profile/04592087455546684789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789633040533099542.post-3540604536300455662011-11-27T20:39:00.000-08:002011-11-28T10:37:01.824-08:00Snail Mail<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6wKByl7Xs5VSirp0xEKOxK27ZjyWtFNGsRnBcWIsrb9qSIYMdVbVf_37nJYjB2_USOoHPV8JhzYFmF3KLURwlDzA14mFbG7_oLSXVaD_nXl69zAnaQSUUJ9RqZfCXy1Ie5IZazPi9gFYq/s1600/P1000032.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679902016795877266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6wKByl7Xs5VSirp0xEKOxK27ZjyWtFNGsRnBcWIsrb9qSIYMdVbVf_37nJYjB2_USOoHPV8JhzYFmF3KLURwlDzA14mFbG7_oLSXVaD_nXl69zAnaQSUUJ9RqZfCXy1Ie5IZazPi9gFYq/s400/P1000032.jpg" /></a> I love Christmas Cards. One of my favorite holiday memory is my mother paying me to address our christmas cards. I have always loved handwriting, but it seemed like there were over a hundred cards to send out!</div><br />Everyday, as my father returned from work, he brought the mail in from the mailbox at the end of the driveway. My sister and I took turns opening the influx of holiday cards and announcing the sender at dinner.<br /><br />My mother had handmade a felt card holder with pockets for all the cards.<br /><br />In 2010, I may have recieved 5? Christmas cards, but I refuse to give up. This year, I'm broke, and have been telling myself all Thanksgiving weekend: No! No! No! Don't even go to <a href="http://www.tinyprints.com/">tinyprints.com</a> Well, Ho! Ho! Ho! I went, I loved, and I ordered. What's really cool, is that tinyprints assigns a url to the card, and recipients can go to see a slide show and your yearly letter: <div style="width:160px;text-align:center;font-size:8px;font-family:<span class="> Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.tinyprints.com/2011/kjg"><div style="height:62px"><img src="http://static-cdn.tp-global.net/image/tp/snapshot/banner-top.jpg" border="0" /></div><div style="padding: 10px 0;border-left: 1px solid #cfcfcf;border-right: 1px solid #cfcfcf;text-align: center;"><img alt="Tiny Prints Snapshot" src="http://images.tinyprints.com/rsvp/kjg/width/150/1.jpg?v=201111270138" border="0" /></div><div><img src="http://static-cdn.tp-global.net/image/tp/snapshot/banner-bottom.jpg" border="0" /></div></a><a href="http://www.tinyprints.com/product/28315/ornament_cards_studio_shots.html">Studio Shots:Charcoal Ornament Cards</a><br />Check out our collection of <a href="http://www.tinyprints.com/shop/picture-christmas-cards.htm">Christmas cards</a> and <a href="http://www.tinyprints.com/shop/holiday-cards.htm">holiday cards</a>.</div><br /><br />Happy Holidays!

I babysit at 3pm. Tomorrow, I go to the office to put together a presentation that I will be giving everyday until Dec 6th. Then I'm exhausted. Then I fly to my parents home to celebrate Christmas before Christmas. Then I fly home and work at the office during the day and babysit at night until after New Years. Then my sister visits. Should I decorate my apartment for Christmas? or just enjoy the little Snowglobe I live in?pinkcloud110406http://www.blogger.com/profile/04592087455546684789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789633040533099542.post-78877467340011341542011-11-24T20:50:00.000-08:002011-11-26T11:14:22.863-08:00Ho Hum<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUkVezqkgrcFsL2y_5XWW3S28ZKNcCzYXFrP5ATZFN1CSz3Na7AU5mOYwoR4miTK73ruIIZnAssQgl5Y1tBSGpkQz_c3OUEAv4SNEp7FO3mitNlmX_mA92-TNBjSpSy1hgzWkmWbuwJVDH/s1600/P1020907.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678791553748021842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUkVezqkgrcFsL2y_5XWW3S28ZKNcCzYXFrP5ATZFN1CSz3Na7AU5mOYwoR4miTK73ruIIZnAssQgl5Y1tBSGpkQz_c3OUEAv4SNEp7FO3mitNlmX_mA92-TNBjSpSy1hgzWkmWbuwJVDH/s400/P1020907.JPG" /></a> This is the best I could do for the table setting of my Breaking Dawn I viewing party without purchasing anything new.

My mother did not play with Barbies, but she made me an incredible mansion for my Barbies. In the kitchen was a stove with little burners made from washers. She cut the pictures out of coupons and pasted them onto blocks to make Barbie size cereal boxes. I was reminded of this fond memory while creating this free printable to turn Hershey's Nuggets into a little Twilight Saga book series.</div><br /><br /><div>I'm filling my office candy bowl with these little books.

We had a wonderful wedding, almost all handmade by me. I love tablesettings anyway, but for my wedding, I wanted the best. When the caterer told me I would be paying $6 per napkin rental, I knew exactly what to do with that roll of natural linen in my fabric stash: hand sew 126 dinner napkins with mitered hems. It was the most relaxing sewing project of my life. They looked wonderful at my wedding. They have survived countless parties and picnics. They match every scheme. I couldn't live without them now. They are the best thing I ever made.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>pinkcloud110406http://www.blogger.com/profile/04592087455546684789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789633040533099542.post-46508542007565159232011-11-04T09:14:00.001-07:002011-11-06T13:13:24.485-08:00My Perfect Winter Party<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/11/04/1379.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 5px; WIDTH: 444px; HEIGHT: 333px" border="0" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/11/04/s_1379.jpg" width="281" height="210" /></a></center><br />My Perfect Winter Party has been on my mind for mmmmm about 3 years. I live in Aspen, Colorado: 6 short blocks to the Gondola (and Starbucks), and I need to take this location up on its offer of spectacular snowboarding. My plan to develop the kind of friendships to keep me on the mountain and out of my craft room is to throw the Perfect Winter Party to get us excited for the upcoming season. All potential posse members will be invited. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=hp#!/kglathar">Who's in?</a><br /><br />The vintage photo of the accordian player and plaid guests on my inspiration board says it all. I hope to knit up some cable invites and throw pillows to set the cozy mood in my apartment. I'll steal one of those scenic Aspen posters from work for the 'photo booth' background (as if we need a background), and I'm fanasizing about a 'bling out your goggles' activity. Fondue (both cheese and chocolate) and hot drinks are on the menu.<br /><br />This blog is part of the Win Your Perfect Party contest sponsored by <a href="http://www.gigmasters.com/">GigMasters</a>. To find out how to enter visit <a href="http://blog.gigmasters.com/win-your-perfect-winter-party/">Life of the Party</a>. If I win, its an accordian player and fondue fountain for us!<br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br /><br /><br /><br /><p class="blogpress_location">Location:<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Aspen&z=10">Aspen</a></p><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br /><br /> var _gaq = _gaq || [];<br /> _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-26844510-1']);<br /> _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);<br /><br /> (function() {<br /> var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;<br /> ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

I had just moved to Aspen (from a city with lots and lots of grocery stores) and started working for a skiwear (not snowboard) company. Things were different at the industry's annual trade show in Las Vegas. Straight off the plane, we all piled in rental cars and drove to Trader Joe's. Everyone bought boxes and boxes of cheap pantry food and alcohol, and cheap salads for lunch. It was amazing...this company had a truck that took these boxes home to Aspen! </div><br />I still stock my pantry whenever I travel near a Traders, packing everything into my suitcase and paying the extra $20 to check it. The industry's trade show is now in Denver, so often my co-workers have a TJ list for me to bring back. I bet the office goes through two dozen of Olive Tapenade Spread in a month! Stay tuned for some of my favorite uses for this little jar.</div>pinkcloud110406http://www.blogger.com/profile/04592087455546684789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789633040533099542.post-19092553299909968292011-10-31T07:41:00.000-07:002011-10-31T07:41:00.360-07:00Crafty Craft<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkF0p6GfGnQHiNv2TEtAHDnJnCPeMaxETl3ynZRwMOE0WCII_9adPh634OjejRexbOp7Qv5AdLhDTaMr60lccA-nJYwjF0Jf90QoXMYuTiRGZrFEEnaitqbEokwQacJKoBa3C0wu0Dqc-1/s1600/craft+room.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 227px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667627744115362162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkF0p6GfGnQHiNv2TEtAHDnJnCPeMaxETl3ynZRwMOE0WCII_9adPh634OjejRexbOp7Qv5AdLhDTaMr60lccA-nJYwjF0Jf90QoXMYuTiRGZrFEEnaitqbEokwQacJKoBa3C0wu0Dqc-1/s320/craft+room.jpg" /></a> I've always dreamed of a craft room...to wrap presents and scrapbook and store all the pretties that I buy.

I have my favorite recipies because they always get ooohhss and ahhhas, but the best part: Check out this picture of my kitchen taken 1 hour before the arrival of 25 hungry halloweeners. In the oven, I have a <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Roasted-Portobello-and-Prosciutto-Lasagna-230941">portobello proscuitto</a> lasagna, a butternut squash, and a classic bolognese. When everyone arrives, I take them out and place them on the bar for a buffet of yum. Yes, some guests did acknowledge my shopping habit: <a href="http://www.crateandbarrel.com/kitchen-and-food/individual-bakeware/bakers/f38331">three matching lasagna pans</a>. </div></div></div>pinkcloud110406http://www.blogger.com/profile/04592087455546684789noreply@blogger.com0
