I'm a web designer and my blog offers some tutorials that may be helpful for those looking to increase their knowledge. (Especially the 'Tips & Tricks' posts.)

An eye for home decor and layout can definitely translate to an eye for web design! :)

What an awesome transformation. That white is so bright and cheerful...and lovely pops of blue. Gorgeous!

I have a cat who would love to munch on flowers- especially baby's breath- but cat grass does work as a good deterrent. Right now I have a pot of cat grass in the bay window next to potted paperwhites and both our cats leave the flowers alone completely in favor of the cat grass!

I made a New Year's Resolution to make the bed every (week)day, and it makes such a difference! I find that while I'm straightening the bed I'm also more likely to open the blinds and tidy up a bit each morning.

Love this article! As a graphic designer and a "foodie", I find myself very often appalled at the unappetizing and bland menus I come across in restaurants. Love the idea of making one for special occasions at home!

In that kitchen I would! In my kitchen, no. I don't even have room for the kitchen art I would like to hang in our little space, so a big mirror isn't feasible. At least my kitchen has windows :)

A great article. My extended family on both sides draws names, and it sometimes gets a bit "Hey what do you want? Okay I'll get you that", which is sad. I love gifting and really do put thought and effort into what I give people. Not that I'm complaining, I am very appreciative of any gifts bestowed upon me!

Um, I just use a sponge. The above all seems like a lot of work...I just put it in the sink and wash it with a soapy handled sponge, like I do everything else.

For our Christmas party we let guests vote online every year, then we have 2 main courses based on the results (one vegetarian or seafood and one meat). This year it looks like we'll be having Mushroom Risotto and Beef Tenderloin.

With my family on Christmas day we usually have ham or a pasta dish, no turkey.

Ooh, banana cake, definitely. That would be perfect for little ones and adults alike, and a simple glaze takes it from plain to pretty.

I just used Blurb to order a larger family cookbook I put together over the past year. I had used the software previously for a vacation photo book and had a good experience; once I got into fonts and text layout though I found it to be a huge headache. The quality is great, though.

This is such a strange thread...some of these food combinations sound crazy! But, to add my own weirdness to the group:

-My grandma used to serve us Mac and Cheese, Peas and Applesauce regularly. I mixed the peas and applesauce together.

-I almost never eat potato chips, except the crunchy kettle cooked kind with plain cream cheese (my Dad does this).

Like @liefie our "kids" table has become the 2nd generation table. We have over 50 guests so there are two seatings..."kids" (I'm 26 and this still includes me and my husband) are the first seating and adults are the second seating. We do a buffet style and there are no assigned seats. Dessert is more casual, just grab a plate and a seat whenever you have room for more food!

Hahah, this made me laugh out loud. And the bird in the salad! I love these kinds of stories. Good luck next week everyone!

I had the Alphabakery Cookbook too! My little sister (now a die-hard vegetarian) was famous for the 'D is for Drumsticks' recipe at what couldn't have been older than age 6. Such an adorable memory being kids in the kitchen w/her.

I'm with @vintage birthday...I have a Kindle now but I still love paper books. I usually buy paper for my favorite authors and read quick and light stuff on the ereader.

My meals are totally pumpkin-based right now. Pumpkin cream cheese on my breakfast, pumpkin soup for lunch, pumpkin butter w/cottage cheese, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin stock in the freezer....I love it all! I pureed the pulp from 2 pumpkins we had on our porch once Halloween had passed, so I will have a very tasty pre-Thanksgiving November :)
