Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies. You can’t resist. I used Alton Brown’s “The Chewy”<\/a> recipe, except I used regular unbleached flour and added in the nuts. It’ll be a lovely snack work week.<\/p>\n

\nI also finished up some swaps that I’m doing over at swap-bot.com<\/a>. I’m in a “tea” swap which only required me buying things, so that’s not so exciting to share. But I did wrap up the tea bags for my partner in a piece of kick ass looking fabric I got at a thrift store once upon a time. The swaps I did finish were for a random shuffle mix cd swap. You were to just turn on your mp3 player – hit shuffle – and that was it. Mine only have a few songs I would never pick, but oh well. That’s what I get for burning every CD I own.\n<\/p>\n

\nI don’t have any color ink for my printer at the moment, so I made my labels in black and white and the used some metallic rub-ons to spice things up and add a little color to the cds. The first one is just some clip art I snagged somewhere and the second one is actually a photo of a card I made. I ripped the label on that one, but I think the rip actually looks kind of cool. I also signed up for a “saints & sinners”<\/a> mix, which I think will be interesting.\n<\/p>\n

\nI think my favorite upcoming swap is “Last Year’s Christmas Cards”<\/a>. When going through some old stuff, I found a have a lot of old cards from Christmas’ past that have never been sent out. And they’re all cute, too! I will try and make some cards again this year probably, but if what I get from this swap rocks, I will totally use them as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
