Snapshots from my week

November 23, 2012 By Kerry Cooks 10 Comments

Happy Friday! So glad its the weekend! This is what I’ve been getting up to this week…

Homemade vanilla extract getting started… its turned a lot darker now. I’ll show you how to make this very soon – its so easy!

I forgot to share them with you last week, so here are the decorations I made last week at the WI – a wreath and a bauble. What do you think?At work I’m taking part in a present drive to give Christmas presents to young kids from low-income families. I’m thinking about what to get Ellie – let me know if you have any ideas!

Wednesday I had a sick afternoon as I wasn’t feeling too well, so I came home and ate cookies… clearly. I’m reading Joy Cho’s book Blog Inc and getting a lot of great ideas from it!

Playing with Milo in bed – I think he rolled his eyes at me!

I *think* he might have been annoyed that I was taking too many pictures of him?!

Have a wonderful weekend! What are you up to? Mine is a PACKED ONE, but I can’t wait!

    Heheh. Milo is just like my sister! She rolls her eyes all of the time. πŸ˜‰ He’s such a cutie nonetheless — I’m sure you didn’t mind. πŸ˜‰

    Kerry, I just love your homemade wreath and bauble. As for your homemade vanilla extract, I can’t wait to hear about that! It looks simple enough, and the store-bought kind is SO expensive for such a small amount. Lastly, I’ve been wanting to read Blog Inc too. Is it worth it to buy it or should I wait for the library to carry it?

    My homemade extract turned out awesome! So much that I hate to even use it! Thanks for sharing your posts and I look forward to reading more!

    Milo has an Edward G. Robinson thing going on. He’s so noir that kitty cat. Love the decorations. Again, you are so talented the way you whip up things. Always very impressed I am.

    Hope you are feeling better today :). I think Ellie would like a “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” book πŸ˜‰ or a soft toy. x
