SALSA

Earlier this afternoon, my wonderful boyfriend and I made some Mexican restaurant style salsa. Or well, or version of it. It's super yummy! I don't have any photos of the process, but here's the recipe:

1 28oz can of crushed tomatoes
4 TBS minced jalapeno slices (from the jar)
2TBS jalapeno juice (from the jar)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 C finely chopped onion
4 TBS fresh minced cilantro
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Mix it well in a blender, let sit for 30 minutes and you're ready to have some of the best salsa you will ever have.

We also bought some new hair cutting shears while we were out and I'm dying to try them out! I hope all is well.

much love,

Oh, acorn candles..

So, I've been busy making these cute little candles. They float, smell great, and crackle when they burn! And they only last about 20-25 minutes so you don't have to worry about leaving them burning while you go out.

I made about 40 last night while watching television. And I'm going to try and make a few more tomorrow. And in case you were wondering.. I am putting them on my etsy! They'll be perfect for a spa night or a romantic night, like maybe Valentines Day. Here is the finished product in action.

And here's Pixel being a curious little key kat.

Welp, Andrew is declaring a pokemon battle, so I must be off!






much love

coffee stained paper

Makes a really good last minute shipping tag! I've been so worried about getting everything else done this past week that I totally forgot about tags. Oh well, I think my homemade ones work just as well!

So, sorry about the lack of pictures on this blog. I'm in the middle of finding an apartment with a boy who is always going back and forth between his house, mine, and school. Once we get settled in somewhere I am going to have so many pictures to share with you guys. Especially since we're thinking about doing a 365 project. We are both very bad at taking pictures of anything we do. So it seems like a nice way to chance that.

I'm thinking about doing a giveaway on here. Did you hear that? BLOG GIVEAWAY. Buuut, I can't do anything like that until I get atleast 50 followers. So if you're interested in free stuff, share my blog with your friends! The sooner I get to my goal the sooner you have a chance of winning awesome stuff.

Sigh, well it's just me here in this house.. with 3 spoiled cats. I guess I need to go tend to them! Have a wonderful day!

Also, choose two winners for my giveaway this morning! Don't miss out! All you have to do to be apart of it and have a chance to win, is like my facebook fan page. http://facebook.com/rosiekittyretrohippo

Well, it looks like Pixel is out of litter.. Guess I'm making a stop at the Dollar General down the road.
Hope everyone has an amazing day!

Still snowy

Atleast at Andrew's it is. Anywhooo, we've been looking around for some cut, yet cheap places to rent around the college. I hope we find a house we both like. I would looove to have a garden!

For anyone who cares, I put lavender-pink-purple(?) in my hair. I ran out of bleach so it was only the front fringe. But I enjoy it anyways.

Sigh, I must get going. I have a ton of work to do today!

That is how much it cost me today to ship to Australia. Sigh.

I work 5 to close tonight at work. Really not looking forward to it. I hope Lindsay is working. Fingers crossed. I think I'm going to leave a little bit early and stop by the craft store. I have some ideas for a new item. Eek! Excited :)

BTW, the wind is totally not cool today..

Lazy morning

I've got another day home from work, which is normally awesome. But today, Andrew is going to his first day of classes so I'm just sitting at my house, bored. I hope the best for him. Even though my slow as fuck internet didn't allow him to search for his room numbers this morning. I'm sorta nervous and I'm not even there.

In other news, Lindsay is going to come get me later so we can have an etsy shop photo shoot in Megs yard. I hope it doesn't rain!

I'm in a really weird mood. I'm thinking a shower is in order.

Cloudy rainy day

The weather is perfect for lounging around in your pj's today. Which I plan on doing a lot of. My neck is killing me though! I did something while trying to cuddle with Pixel, haha.

I've got a few more things to add to the shop. Which should be happening sometime Friday morning. I'm really excited about one thing I found the other day while shopping with my brothers and Leah.

Tomorrow is Andrew's first day back to college. I can't wait until he finds an apartment and we get to decorate it! I'm sure Pixel is going to miss his mattress house though.

Cutest picture ever:

Yea, I know.
