Cookies in the Sewing Tin.

I work for an ambulance company and my department is responsible for cleaning out the ambulances after the crews end their 12 hour shift. Medics & EMTs are notorious for forgetting things on the trucks and nothing really surprises me anymore. Today when I got to work this tin was sitting on the counter and honestly my first thought was "Why are there Christmas cookies when we haven't even had Halloween yet?" I inquired about the tin, who do they belong to, where did they come from and what have you, even opened to verify that it did in fact have cookies in it. Because let's be real, how many times have you opened a tin like this hoping to find cookies but was disappointed to find something other than cookies? I laughed and made a comment about how there were actually cookies still inside. Manny (a co-worker) said that another co-worker brought the tin in from a truck and when he left it asked "Who put cookies in the sewing tin?"

I don't know why I found this funny and worth sharing but I cracked up laughing. Mostly because growing up I know my own mom & grandma had some of these tins filled with sewing stuff or buttons. I would bet that most of you had a grandma or mom that had a tin with that sort of stuff in it instead of cookies as well.

What all did you find inside when you have came across one of these cookie tins? I would love to hear about all the treasures these pretty little tins have held.

Also, can someone explain why I have been feeling so darn nostalgic these days? Geez.

Throwback Thursday

Let me just start by saying straight out of the gate that I absolutely hate to be on the front side of any camera much less my own. Now it isn't that I don't enjoy being in the moment, I do. I just enjoy taking the pictures instead of being in them if that makes any sense at all. With that said I'm glad I was on the front side of this camera this day. I suppose all little girls dream of growing up, getting married and having babies. I know when I was a little girl my friends and i would play house, we would more less mark of sections of the room as mine and theirs these sections would be my house or her house. we'd have baby dolls name them fun names. We had fun. I don't know that I ever really thought about actually having children when I grew up. And as I got older I remember that I didn't even want to get married when I grew up much less have any kids. But we all grow up. And that guy comes along t...

Super sweet scrub

So the picture isn't the best, you're not looking at a wonderful back drop or perfectly packaged product for this jar of sugar scrub. But what you are looking at is a simply wonderful homemade sugar body scrub. I am guilty of spending more than my share of time on the ever growing in popularity website craze "Pinterest" just looking and pinning, pinning, pinning. I asked myself some time last week "what is the point in this if I don't try some of the things I am pinning." So yesterday I found this recipe for a sugar body scrub, it helps take off dry dead skin and it hydrates as well. Now I know we haven't been hit with a bad winter (yet) but the air has been terribly dry and my skin is really suffering all dry and itchy. My hands have gotten so bad that they were starting to crack and bleed around my cuticles. So I made this scrub last night before taking my shower. Here is what I did: Mix 1/3 cup of each in a bowl Brown sugar Regular...

A new year

Ugh! I have started and deleted this blog entry more times than I care to admit. :) I have so many things floating around in my mind that I want to write about that I keep jumbling them all up on the page and they are not making sense to me so I am sure you will not have a clue what I am saying...babble, babble, babble... Anyway maybe this one will work for us all. The new year. 2012 Wow. I am getting so old, I don't ever recall thinking this far in to the future when I was a kid except maybe when I watched movies with flying cars and hoovering skate boards and such thinking it would be neat to have a flying car. but here we are still living a pretty normal life without all that stuff. I chuckle a little when I think of all the things I enjoy, these things certainly don't "fit" the year 2012 as the movie writers would write it. Because I don't want a flying car, I think it would be fun to ride a horse everywhere or have a covered w...
