Yummy food

Yep, I love to cook. There's just no denying it. It's not so much that I love food as I just love to cook the food.
Here was my tasty dinner that I made a few weeks ago:
Chicken with Rosemary Butter Sauce
Noodles
Creamed Spinach
Glass of Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc (it was on sale for $6.99 a bottle!)

Mmm, yummy.

From the baking side, I made these decadent chocolate cupcakes that are sort of like Hostess Cupcakes, only much better! I don't usually like chocolate, but these were delish!

My first Mod Podge project (and Tim's awesome shelves)

So, for those of you who have been to my house, you know that there's a funky counter area in the bathroom on the main level. I try to keep my cookbooks there, but it just looks messy and there's not really enough room for them all. (The picture shows about 1/4 of my cookbooks)









My wonderful hubby got the idea to build me shelves there as a better use of the space. Of course, the project turned out to be much more complicated (and therefore expensive and time-consuming) to complete. BUT in the end, the shelves are super sturdy and look very professional.












I wanted to have a hand in the project too, of course. So, my contribution was to make the shelves pretty. I've been reading a lot about and seeing some of my friends use Mod Podge to decoupage, so I thought I'd give it a go.




I think they turned out pretty good! :)


















So, there we have it, pretty and functional shelves for my bathroom. Thanks Hubby!
Now, about my full-wall built-in downstairs...
