Don't Forget Yourself!

What are you getting yourself for the holidays? Write your name down on that list, please. We have done no-gift Christmas for a long time, but that doesn't mean we haven't gotten things for the house, etc. 

This year, I'm treating myself to a few cooking related things. I went back and found first editions of cookbooks I love. Some cookbooks edit for food trends like low carb and low fat, and I wanted the originals of some that I loved, like this classic vegetarian cookbook from my homeland. I wish the revised edition contained the original plus the revisions, like my own recipe notes.

We also inherited this teeny tiny food processor (ours is from the 80s), and you would not believe how useful this thing is. If you're cooking for one or two people, a 16 cup behemoth is not going to work. I made mushroom pate in this the other day and it was to die for. Would not have worked at all in a regular sized one. 

So my card today is with this amazingly realistic die set to remind you to do just that! I threw all my best markers at it and it's really realistic!!

The dies have stellar - what I call - glue tabs. Little places on the dies for the adhesive to make them easier to assemble. What did I do before the glue press?

I cut the jewelry and the nail out of this blue glitter paper. The jewelry wraps around the wrist - so cool. There are two styles of nails - the "claw" style and the shorter one I used here. I just cannot get over how much this looks like a real hand after coloring. One tip - on the sleeve piece, which is its own die - the perfectly straight side goes on the inside of the wrist.
