Sorry for the vanishing act. Serious back to school preparation is going on around here, including a last minute decision to change schools. The new school begins next week (!!), which is two weeks earlier than our old school. I'm having to cram three weeks of summer into one short week, which is proving to be exhausting.
Monday night was the Oldest Child's final karate class, in which she finally received her colored belt. She was thrilled. I managed to take two pictures before the camera battery died. It wasn't until an hour ago, when I decided to photograph the Criss Cross Coasters, that I realized I still hadn't charged the battery (um, missed photos of the final gymnastics class today, too). Thus, no photos of the coasters just yet. So, we'll delay Win-It Wednesday until Thursday, since you probably don't want to enter to win coasters sight unseen.
In other random news:
I've been eying the baked goods on Etsy for some time now. This is a rather delicious looking Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie from The Wave Break. I'm a sucker for chocolate peanut butter anything. Like, Oberweis Ice Cream, or those brownies I made a little while back (see here).
This one has no peanut butter, but I also happen to love chocolate. This Red Velvet Revolution cupcake from Bangerang Bake Shop actually comes in a jar. The cupcake in a jar concept is one I've been wanting to try.
Aren't these cute?! I made some back in December for my sister's baby shower, but didn't make enough to keep one for myself. I'm thinking of ordering some from Etsy.
But the thought of buying food from random home bakers on Etsy sort of freaks me out. Has anyone tried it? Good? Bad? Poisoned?
