Another week of the One Word Project.
Being in Arizona saved me on this one!
I don't have many retro things but thankfully my mom does!



Seriously tell me that you never drank from a tupperware cup as a kid?!
SERIOUSLY.
Don't you remember those tops that went on them too?
We used to chew the heck out of those!
I love that my mom still has them.
She still has her first tupperware set too.
I swear, I think they were better back then then they are now!
Don't tell my mom but I am stealing those!

The muffin tin was my grandma's.
The thing is so bent up, it is a wonder how cupcakes come out so perfect?!
Grandma's magic I suppose.

Shrimp cocktails jars.
My mother is a LOVER of shrimp cocktails!
Way back when you could buy them at the grocery store in those cute little jars.
Cleverly, ever so recyclable, my dear mom saved them for our drinks.
It is so fun to watch nieces, nephews and now my own drink their juice and milk.
Warms the soul.

Another week with The One Word Project.
This week is doing my head in with packing for trips and packing up house.
It was nice to get some "light."



Light is the dawning of a new day with new possibilities.

Light is the "aha" moment.

Light is the light of your life.

Light is spiritual truth and knowledge.

What is light to you?

Sometimes as an artist you start to see the same things.
Images start to feel humdrum and look "samey samey" to you.
Thankfully I have wonderful photographer friends who come up with fun projects for us to help and inspire each other.
An amazing photog friend started The One Word project this week.
Each week we submit (to Flickr) a series of four photos based on the word of the week....
this week is sugar.



I hope that I would have thought of something with a bit of artistry.
BUT it just so happens that I am trying to lose that post-baby chub and I am missing my sugar!
So there it is.

I wanted to do powered sugar but instead I did this little number.
Cinnamon sugar on toast.
Delish.
Fills me with mounds of memories of my mom making me two slices of toast,
one with her homemade raspberry jam and the other with cinnamon sugar.
I tried it with Mr. Delicious but at the moment textures are a "YUCK!"
I hope one day that he loves it and it fills him with memories of warm toast and a mom who loves him so.

P.S. You can also purchases these lovely gems at my Etsy shop for a bright happy kitchen or a fun girls room!
