what's better than a brain dump?

a photo dump!

why? because not only do i get to ramble, but i include pictures, too. you know, because sometimes the whole "words with no pictures" thing just isn't appealing...

let me preface the dump with this: the pictures are from my phone and, no, it's not an iphone. {yes, i have cell phone envy.}

{orly's nite owl}

speaking of orly, did you enter my giveaway yet? hurry. i choose a winner on friday!

{cake pops}

i made them for the cake walk at the fall festival at my kidlets' school.
when i dropped them off they were sized up by another mother.

"did you make them?" she asked.

you're damn right i did.

{for what it's worth, there was more than one tray/display of cake pops at the cake walk & mine were the first to go.}

{coconut macaroons}
hubby LOVES them.

malia may or may not have gotten in the cake walk line about ten times trying to win

MY macaroons back for her daddy.

she succeeded.

{pumpkin spice bagels} 

{pumpkin pie pop tarts}

i need another pumpkin obsession like i need another 

hole in my head.

but, seriously, both are delish. stupid delish.

{and i don't even like pop tarts!}

{oh, hello, nutella in a 'to go' pack!}

damn you, wal-mart, for having this ish in the check out line!

i had to have these.

{too bad the kids ate them.}

{frisco's new up country collar}

i bought frisco a new collar while i was visiting my sissy in boston.

this collar couldn't be more perfect for him.

he loves his mom!

 {two-stitch knit necklace}

i spend too much time & money at a.c. moore.
last time i was there i bought some of martha stewart's mambo yarn.

{me likey!}

{rag ribbon wreaths}

i'm late to the game, i know.

the little one is a teacher gift. the big one is a family gift.

i'm also making a holiday themed wreath for my door.

 {your eyes do not deceive you...}

yes, there are "swirls" in my mani.

how?

{this}

sixteen freakin' dollars at sephora, but so neat.
{and i'm pretty sure my mom took it with her...since she paid for it and all...}

psst...these pictures are mine. don't steal them. i'll cut you.
