NERD ALERT: Last Night A Hole Punch Saved My Life

Yep, I am confident enough with myself and your continued friendship and readership with me after writing that sentence. Boo-yah. This hole punch has revolutionized my life. I can't wait to show you all of the adorable things I have made into both 2" and 1" circles, since I had to buy both sizes. I was having a hell of a time aligning my already-printed designs with the craft punch, until I found this passionate blog post about The Mother of All Hole Punches. Then I purchased one, didn't mess up any of my punches, and 100 adorable lime-shaped return address labels later, HOOKED.

The sky is the limit with these. After hand-cutting 100 sparkler tags for a friend's wedding, my hand, Xacto blades, and everyone else is much much happier.

Hand-made confetti everyone?

I told you this was nerdy.

Lemon Bars > Dilly Bars

Bars. Gotta love 'em. Dive bars. Fudge bars. Swim-up bars (my dream in my home one day when I Marry Rich), and now, Lemon Bars. I was having a blasé of a day when my friend Kellyn popped over to watch the train wreck that is Jake and Vienna and Drunk Ali (speaking of someone else who loves bars) with a tray-full of her lemon bars. Kellyn knows how to make something that I'd love to have stuck to my face. WOW, how's that for a referral? HEY-O! (Those last two sentences brought to you by WILL THIS WORKDAY EVER END?)

Anyhoo, Kellyn got her blog, KBakes, featured on another blog I have pimped out like 35645623 million times here, Tastespotting, and BOOM! 5,000 hits all over the country. AMAZEBALLS.

In the meantime, visit Kellyn's blog and let's just anxiously await her lemon bars post.
UPDATE! Here's the lemon bars post. How amazing is her styling, too?

BACK TO BIZNASS AMERICA!

My lovelies, thank you for your patience while I juggle way too many balls. That's what she said.

Today is AMERICA'S DAY. I hope you have an awesome day of friends, family, and fireworks. And maybe a cat or two.



I love America and I love YOU. We are back.

USA! USA!

Koozie Party, Anyone?

Tomorrow I am doing a post on a bunch of great finds at Michael's, but as a sneak-peek, while I was there snapping pics today, I couldn't help wanting to a) jump in the giant bin below, a la Burger King playgrounds of 1988-present, and b) host a koozie-decorating party for the summer.
These are only $1 and are virtually begging to be bedazzled. Anyone in?
