Anyone else participating in Grainline's Friendship Bracelet Swap?
Well I got paired with Paige from South Carolina for the exchange and I just finished her bracelet last night!
This morning I decided to throw together a card to go along with the bracelet in the mail. It's made from paper grocery bags, scrap fabric, and stitched together with bright thread. The bracelet is tacked on with some scraps of embroidery thread.

That was fun!

I've been playing around with my boyfriend's camera all day. Here's some of what I've been up to...

Baking and cooking! My friend Rachel has a wonderful food blog and today was the day to finally make her Everyday Strawberry Cake. Strawberry cake and tons more on her blog, Rachel's Digestif. I also made an orzo salad to go with toasted cheese sandwiches for dinner. Yummm

Friendship bracelet making! The friendship bracelet post on The Purl Bee blog inspired me to get back into one of my favorite crafts from when I was little.

Hanging out with a little dog!

And as mentioned before, playing with the camera.
Now I'm off to have some tea and some more of that delicious cake.
