Edible Gift Ideas!

Edible Gift Ideas- a collection of candies, cookies, infusions and snacks to make holiday magic with! Find more on Shutterbean.com

We’re not that far from Christmas and if you’re celebrating it and need some Edible Gift Ideas, I’m here to help! I think this year Pumpkin Seed Brittle is going to be high up on my list! 

Honey Candied Walnuts

Tell your friends these walnuts are great on salads because we need the encouragement and reminders to balance out all of the cookies and stuff with greens! 

I’m thinking they would be perfect in a beet salad. 

Hot & Spicy Saltines 

Break up all the sweets with something SPICY!  These hot & spicy saltines are quite addictive. 

Pumpkin Seed Brittle to add to your cheese boards or homemade goodie bags! Find the recipe at Shutterbean.com

Pumpkin Seed Brittle

This is in my lineup this year. All the crunch with the perfect amount of sweetness.

Currently 2023 Workbook!

Currently Workbook 2023

2023 will be the 5TH year of using the CURRENTLY WORKBOOK.  FOUR workbooks are filled to the brim with art testing and experiments and I only spilled water on one of them! 

My Everyday Life Week 51 of 2021- a photography series by Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean.com

Every December I sit down and fill out the first few pages of the workbook. This process helps me get my head in the game for the year ahead. It also gives me some time and space to reflect on the past years.

Intentions for the Week- Week 50 in 2022

Happy Monday! 

Can you believe that this year is almost over? YIKES.  This week I did a big cleanout of my office. Packaging and shipping make such a mess! I am happy that it’s refreshed and I have free workspaces to play on now.  I also cleaned out the fridge and made lemon chicken & roasted delicata squash for the week.  I’m working hard at mustering up my holiday spirit even though I’m deep in a grief wave.  

Anywho…here are my Intentions for the week!

Ahh November. You were filled with so many emotions. You usually are. I am glad you’re over.

November marked 5 years since the passing of my Mom.  This Currently Workbook project was born out of grief. I’ve been productive with my feelings through art.

I made an altar for her at my dinner table.
