Scrapbook Pages

I know I haven't posted in awhile, work has been crazy and I'm coming up with ideas to redo the blog a little for next year. Also thinking of restarting my etsy shop up in the new year so thinking of products to make for the relaunch. Wanted to share some recent layouts I made.

Apple and Pumpkin Picking

Part of the reason I love living on Long Island is all the wonderful  local farms. This time of year is all about apples and pumpkins. So on my day off I went to a local farm, picked some apples and got some small pumpkins to use for decorations in my house. Wanted to share some pictures from my trip.

Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup

Desserts like this are perfect when you want something sweet, but don't want to spend a ton of time baking or don't want a ton of leftovers in the house from baking a full recipe. Takes about 2 minutes and tastes just like a chocolate chip cookie. Here's the link to the recipe
