Delicious!

Well, the cooler weather has definitely arrived here in Winnipeg.  The afternoons aren't so bad, but I'm finding the mornings and evenings to be quite chilly.

Our eldest kiddo still has a few more football practices and games before the season is over.  We were out at the field for a 4:30pm game start this past Sunday, so I took the opportunity to make a deliciously yummy dinner using the slow cooker.

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

It's a really simple recipe and I highly recommend it (click on the link below the picture to go to the recipe). I substituted chicken stock for the beer, but otherwise I followed the recipe to a T.

The perfect meal for a cool fall/winter day!

Cheers and enjoy!

Dream A Little Dream

I had a little down time and decided to make a treasury over at Etsy.  Would love it if you would stop by to take a peek!

No Words Needed

Except for one perhaps....

Getting Set!

I'm starting to organize my holiday ruffled fabric cards and gift tags.  There are already a few card sets listed in the shop, and yesterday I began photographing some of the gift tags.

I don't ever often use props for my product shots, but I really wanted to try adding a little festive spirit to these photos so I gave it a try!

What do you think?

I love quotes, I truly do.  They can take you from a a not so great place to a simply amazing place in mere seconds.  They can inspire, they can give you courage, they can support you.

The lovely Jessica over at How About Orange shared some great ones the other day.  Head on over to her blog see them...

Pan Am

Okay, are you watching Pan Am?  I haven't missed an episode yet.  I quite like it!  I think they are going in the right direction.  Granted, there's only been three or four episodes, but still.....I am enjoying it.

Did you see that you can watch interviews with The Real Stewardesses of Pan Am?  Yup, you can!

So, are you watching Pan Am?

Obsessed

I continue to be absolutely obsessed with footwear.  Now that the cooler weather is here, I'm keen on finding a new pair of boots.  These ones from Aldo caught my eye (oh how I love Aldo!).  I'm loving both the grey and camel, they also come in black.

Do you remember these? Oh, how I used to love them so much!

My friends and I would play with them all day long.  I can't quite remember what grade or how old we were, but gosh, did we ever love making and playing with fortune tellers.

Did you?

Smiles

I was grabbing some potatoes from the pantry to make home fries this afternoon and found this:

Made me smile.  Nothing like a heart shaped spud!

Have a lovely long weekend to my friends in Canada and happy weekend to everyone else!

Cheers,

Matte

Well, apparently I've been living under a rock for the past couple of years because I had no clue that OPI had a line of matte nail polishes (please say that I'm not the only person who didn't know this).
