How-to



For our recent Happy Hour, I made these recipe cards and menu. I decided to go with a European Folk Art theme that I've been really into lately. You can download the templates and recipe cards on NumNum Chronicles. We also just posted all the photos, how-tos, and recipes! Click here for how-tos and here for recipes.

A moment...

I just want to share a moment, a person with you. Nick Dewar, an illustrator, who passed away recently. He was a great talent and although I didn't know him personally these words from his website says a lot about him.

Q: "How do you define success? "In your terms, how successful are you?"

A: My definition of success is pretty simple. I don't think money is all that important. As long as you have enough to pay the rent and buy some nice food that is all you really need. Everything else is a bonus. I have never understood people who drive themselves to work long hours at jobs they hate to pay for things that will help them forget how much they hate working at their jobs. I think the really difficult thing is being happy both in who you are and what you do. If you can achieve this then you are really are a success. There is also the caveat that you shouldn't hurt anyone or anything in order to be successful, that sort of negates the point.

He seems like he was a great person and I wish his family well in this time of difficulty. Please take a moment to look at his great body of work and appreciate it and him.

Happy Hour

Last week, Lisa and I had some lovely ladies over for Happy Hour. Filled with drinks like Root n' Ginger, Cherry-Lime Rickeys, and Ginger, Cranberry, Apple Punch, the hour was indeed very happy! We were very excited to see friends we hadn't seen in a while, like Jenna who went on a 7-month honeymoon to Europe!



Kate from For Me, For You donned a preview of her new necklaces at the party (which are bee-yoo-ti-ful and unfortunately sold out.)


All in all good times were had. Check Num Num Chronicles next week for full review of how-tos, recipes, and more! The Sublet girls also posted some photos.
