Book Club (or Should I Say Food Club?)

October 12, 2009

On Sunday, I enjoyed book club with my dear friends.  We should probably call it food club, though, since the incredible meals tend to overshadow the book discussion.  And with delicious food like this, who could blame us?!

One Person’s Junk is Another’s Treasure

Wreck This Journal: Week 2 – Creative Cohorts

June 12, 2009
