Reason #532 I love my job:
Not only do I get to read every magazine under the sun and oogle holiday treats like the ones in December’s Good Housekeeping…
…I also get to EAT the cookies on the cover!
Yes, the magazine reps brought over stars and snowflakes and Christmas trees and mittens to match the cover shot and recipe in-book. Could these be any more perfect?!
My job has been pretty crazy, despite the usual December slow down. Apparently no one got the memo that this is supposed to be a quiet month! Still, I’m lucky enough to have plenty of “little moments” that make me enjoy my work. Seriously, these treats had me smiling all day.
I’ve been baking (and eating!) up a storm. Unfortunately I’ve also been sans Internet thanks to my move from West Hollywood to the beach, so I’ve been absent (but reading!). I’ve missed blogging though, so hopefully I will be able to post a little more regularly. I have been DYING for a fancy pants camera but thanks to the move, am also super broke. As happy as I am to have my sweet lil digi, I have started taking mental pictures everywhere, imagining all the cool shots I could get with a bigger/better camera. Hopefully that doesn’t sound too crazy…if anyone has recommendations, I’ll take them!

Glad to hear you are alive and well! Those cookies look perfect!!
I have an Olympus 1010 camera, I got it from my hubby last year, and it was about $250. I know NOTHING about photography, so this is a nice point and shoot camera.
Happy Monday! 😀

such cute cookies! I’m with Janetha – I miss your posts, but totally understand. I am d.y.i.n.g. for a DSLR….what about looking for a used or refurbished one? BestBuy has some sort of outlet I’m pretty sure b/c you can sell your used electronics back to them.
Happy HOlidays lovely lady! I hope the rug cleaning went well! (ours is still stained and stinks like dog pee. 😦 ) boooo!

I think a move to the beach is definitely worth sacrificing internet for awhile!! 🙂 And those cookies look soo amazing–I am not too good at intricate decorating.
Have a wonderful Christmas if I don’t talk to you till then!

Aw hey girl, glad to hear everything’s going well and you’re loving the job (and getting to eat lots of delicious baked treats clearly!) Hope you have some great holidays ahead of you and I hope you get to update more often soon 🙂

ive missed you kate!!!!! glad to see you are semi-back! december is my crazy month, so i totally feel you on the craziness!
umm, i love your pics! but maybe just upgrading to a “nicer” digi would be more cost effective.. that way its not 800 bucks for a camera that cant fit in your purse, unless you are Nicole Ritchie and have unlimited oversize Balenciaga bags…. lol
*hugs*!!!!

Man, your job sounds so cool and you seem to love it! That’s such a gift. And those cookies are beautiful 🙂 I’m so glad to see you back online. Welcome to your new home on the beach! Happy holidays, chica!

Oh my gosh, that is so cute! I love the cookies on top of the magazine, so cool!
I just got a new Nikon D3000 DSLR camera as an early Christmas gift. It was pretty expensive, but I LOVE it and I know that if I take care of it, I will be using it for years to come. I would try saving up and buying a DSLR at some point if you’re into taking great photographs. There are a lot of options out there 🙂

you probably have one of the best jobs ever!! thats so cool 🙂
