*A WaLk ThRu My HOmE*

First off, *ALL* of these photos are STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CAMERA!!!

Fun colors, hey?

I did resize them for the web, but that doesn't count.

Two coffee pots? Yes, that's right. Might be the explanation for why we're so crazy.

My mom's art: quilting.

Down in my scraproom. Love me some green bowls all filled up with yummy embellishments that are good enough to eat.

The way Mom decorates.

Tasty tasty ribbons....

Where all the magic happens.

For stopping by the blog today ....

Fridge love. Bottlecaps totally rock it up for me.

It was a picture day!

My Day Yesterday

Went to the Farmer's Market in Madison at the Capitol Square yesterday. We, as in me and my dad, actually went for the "Cows on the Square" festival, because you all know how much I love me some moo cows, but it was a lot smaller of an event than we expected. I snapped a couple pics though.

Then it started to DOWNPOUR! Like seriously pour! So we went inside the Capitol for awhile and I took some pics inside there. Here's one ... I think its so neat bc State Street is the cool, funky, downtown place in Madison. (I think so anyways). And State Street is one of the streets that stems from Capitol Square. I think there are 5 streets that stem from the square. It's pretty cool.

I did have fun with my dad yesterday though. We never hang out like that, so it was weird, but still really nice.

We went and had lunch at the yummy "State Street Brats" bar/pub thingy while the rain settled down. I had the best red brat ever! Then after that we headed back to the farmer's market and got some bread, cheese curds, and flavored popcorn, and a really delish huge chocolate chip and toffee cookie for me. Ha.

Here's a pic I took outside of the parking ramp ... I wish I could've gotten more pics but obviously, my nice camera + rain = not a good situation. It was torture to be all inspired and to "see" things to photograph, but I couldn't. I'm going to have to go back on a nicer day.

And just a fun one from the other when I was baking.

I Have Some New Hair ...

I got a new hairstyle. On Wednesday.

I'm not sure if I like it ... it's a good change I suppose ... but I miss my long hair!

{{ Stevens Point Apartment }}

 You'd be annoyingly surprised if you knew how many pics I take of myself when I am bored. Haha!

Later that day, we had to go to my college town and move all my big stuff out of my apartment. Here I am, the very last time I'll be at this apartment! Ahhh, senimental stuff, ay?

{{ Ok seriously ... }}

These were by far the *BEST* chocolate chip cookies I have ever made!

Except I used M&M's instead of chips.

YUM!

They did take a little longer than 6 mins though, more like 10.
