While many of you may think I have simply been sleeping my summer away (oh, wait...I HAVE been sleeping my summer away), I have been doing a small bit of crafting here and there when I have the energy.
For my friend Nicole's bridal shower I wanted to make her something extra special. I just met Nicole early this year and she is engaged to our long time friend, Spencer. I always hoped Spencer would pick someone good, but I never in a million years thought he would find someone as lovely as Nicole! She is so fun, and a lot like me too! She crafts! Is a teacher! A bit of a naive nerd (like me)! A dog lover! And basically just the sweetest person you will ever meet.
I opted for a homemade cookbook because when Spencer would stay the night with us while we were all in college, the boys would wake up and request that I make pancakes. The recipe is realllly simple and so delicious, and Spencer used to tell me they were his favorite pancakes. (But if he is a smart man he really should amend that statement and say that NICOLE'S pancakes are his favorite!!!) So thus began my idea for a cookbook.
Using my sewing machine, some photo's of Nicole and Spencer via Momma Donna all dressed up with Poladroid, some craft tape, fun abc stamps, and a little creativity, this is what I came up with:
 |
| obbbbbsessed with these tiny abc stamps! best 8 bucks i've ever spent |
 |
| i sewed around the edges of the pages-a nice touch, don't you think? |
 |

 |

 |
