My Contribution

Feel free to call me a nerd, but I love taking pictures of my culinary creations. For example, here are my Thanksgiving contributions: a hearty salad and the herbed pinwheels I mentioned last week. I woke up early to make these suckers, and just love the way they looked when finished. I mean, look at them. If you're not salivating, somethings wrong with you.

{salads always look so refreshing to me...}

{I added parmesan cheese this time round, and let me tell you it was AWEESOMEE}

{Straight out of the oven...}

Delicious.

XO.

Sand Hill Photo Shoot

On Sunday, Ryan and I found ourselves at the Southport Beach. When we got there we found HUGE sand hills framing the entrance to the beach (thanks to Sandy). They were seriously 10ft -12ft high, and I just couldn't help climbing to the top for a little impromptu photo shoot.

Looking Good Leanne

I love finding old pictures of my sister. 

Her cute factor was like a 15 on a 1 to 10 scale.

I miss her.
