The Shiny Shimers: January 2010

Thursday, January 21, 2010. Swedish Weave and Me. Well, I've started back up at an old hobby again after a long absence: Swedish Weave. Most of the time when I tell people that I get a weird look and, "What's that? In fact this little "show and tell" style blog was inspired by a friend of mine asking to see pictures of my newest project. Add that to the fact that I just got all of my off camera lighting equipment, and you get nice pictures :). So, Taylor dear, my fellow wielder of yarn, I hope this answe...

The Shiny Shimers: Kline Family Pictures
http://shimerfam.blogspot.com/2011/01/kline-family-pictures.html
Thursday, January 6, 2011. So, it's only been about 13 years since my family had actual formal family pictures that weren't in front of our house on Easter. This year, my mom told me she wanted a family picture to send out as a Christmas card. Being that we had everyone dressed and ready, I had to take advantage of the opportunity and got a whole set of shots :). First we did the standard formal group shot. Then couples (My Parents). Then individuals of the kids. First is me. January 8, 2011 at 7:25 PM.

The Shiny Shimers: December 2010
http://shimerfam.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 31, 2010. So, I have always been a fan of a good deal, but recently I have become completely addicted to couponing. And no, that is not a typo. Couponing is a verb, and a very active one at that. It all started because Justin's half-brother's ex-wife's husband (phew! I got 2 pairs and a sweet pair of bright green comfy yoga pants for $8. Combined savings for our Monday night venture: $108.57. Combined savings for my Tuesday night grocery shopping: $102.25. Completely free. Just go to...

The Shiny Shimers: April 2010
http://shimerfam.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 30, 2010. I seem to always end up taking pictures of the Gordo when I have the camera out. How can you not love that face? I can't believe that he's almost a year old. *Sniff* It seems like only yesterday he was hobbling around on a big farm with his siblings and I could fit him in my hand. Man, if I'm this bad with my puppy, imagine how I will be with a kid :). Thursday, April 29, 2010. Justin and Gordo Photo Shoot. I think these are real keepers :). Sunday, April 18, 2010. It was in the E...

The Shiny Shimers: May 2010

Thursday, May 27, 2010. A Much Needed Sprucing. The wall behind our TV has been blank for too long. We have things on most every other wall of the house. So, I've been acquiring pieces to make a little feature wall for a little while and I finally got the shelves to put them on. I decided I could wait no longer so I put it together tonight. Here is the result. Just a few of our favorite pictures in the middle. This was the cake topper from our wedding and I've always wanted to put it on display. He start...

The Shiny Shimers: March 2010
http://shimerfam.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 10, 2010. I Know I've Been Putting A Lot Of Baked Goods Up Here But . This is possibly the prettiest looking food item I have ever produced :). Just look at that swirl! These are Butterscotch Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies. I have yet to taste them, but they look absolutely delicious! This is a little recipe from the Magnolia Bakery in NYC :) If you want the recipe, I can give it to you upon request. They aren't technically "brownies" when you think about it; they're more like "orangies".

The Shiny Shimers: A Gordo Thanksgiving
http://shimerfam.blogspot.com/2010/11/gordo-thanksgiving.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. For our meal, I made home made french bread rolls and two pies: Chess Pie and Chocolate Chess Pie (because they come in a set, after all). As we were leaving, I decided that we don't take enough pictures of ourselves, so I grabbed a point and shoot and started off documenting how the Gordo enjoys his car rides. Yes, I know I look weird. And here is the signature squint once we get going around 40 mph. I interpret this look as him saying, "What on earth do you want? And unfortu...

The Shiny Shimers: October 2010
http://shimerfam.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. How Can I Go Wrong? I haven't ever posted anything like this before, but I couldn't help myself! I've been very into the vintage style lately, and I ran across quite a plethora of blogs devoted to all things retro and some of them are giving things away! This one I am really excited about. In The Heyday. Is giving away a Fleur dress! I'm super excited to try that hair-do, by the way. It's a wrap dress that's oh-so -40s-and-girly with pockets, matching buttons and bows! That spe...
