Toronto, downtown: truffle oil
- Olivia Feb 27, 2007 09:22 AM
Hello fellow downtown Toronto CHers, can you please do me a favour and share where you buy your favorite truffle oil, and what brand it is?
I just bought my first bottle at Loblaws (I know, I know) as a test run, and I'm ready for the intense good stuff.
I've bought truffle oil at Cumbrae's on Church, Schefflers at the St. Lawrence Market, and Pusateri's on Yorkville. I can't remember the brand name right now, just that it comes in a very tiny bottle with I believe a black label and gold print. Doesn't need to be a big bottle since it's super-concentrated so you use mere drops to get a big impact. Hope that helps.
re: mickeyj
i found the stuff they make in-house to be overpowered by the olive oil and it muffles the flavour quite a bit. i haven't tried their french one and am curious about that one.
Olivia - you were'nt at that EZ Rock party at the Four Seasons were you?Where the chef did the truffle dish? just wondering..
Truffle oil is one of those things where usually you get what you pay for. Don't buy a bargain until you've done your homework.
1. White Italian is the best. Black is not usually as intense.
2. French is OK.
3. OT: Don't buy the jarred truffles since they are usually crap. Thats why they're cheap.
4. Cheese Boutique's own truffle oil is crap. That's why it's cheap.
5. Make sure you check the best before date. If there isn't one, don't buy it.
6. Unless you use it a lot, buy small quantities.
7. Store it in the fridge.
8. Try a place like the The Olive Pit at 805 Queen Street West in Toronto. They are not cheap, but they are very knowledgeable about their products.
9. I often find good oils at a good price at the food (&wine) shows.
I am pretty sure that Caviar Direct downstairs in the St. Lawrence Market would sell some good stuff.
A bit distant but Boncheff's on Olivewood just west of Kipling has FAR better prices than the extortionate CB and other downtown food emporia on flavored oils. Good selection of oils+vinegars that I think are on sale now.Worth a visit.
Oliviers &Co. I got truffle olive oil from their store in France, I really like it. They have opened a store in the concourse level of first canadian place, but I am not exactly sure if they have the truffle oil in this location, but I got the truffle pasta though.
re: skylineR33
I know they have this one, as I bought it from there:
Oh how I love CH! Thanks everyone for your feedback.
Wiley: nope, wasn't there.
Scary Bill: thanks for the primer; very informative.
skylineR33: I went to the FCP Olivers in December, and all the truffle oil they had out on the shelf was past the best before date, in some cases by more than 6 months. I'll give it another pass this week to see if they have anything fresh.
re: chinglish
The Olive Pit for me too.
Quality all the way.
PS they also have Manni Olive oil - too expensive for me - but that's what the 3* chefs use.
An interesting link from NY Times about Tennesee Truffles (honest!) (you will have to register. It is worth it for the Wednesday food articles and recipes):
Also re refridgerating the oil, it will likely solidify, but don't worry, take it out 30 min before use. Putting it in the fridge prolongs its life.

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Beckman Coulter, Inc. (NYSE: BEC), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of products that simplify, automate and innovate complex biomedical testing, reaffirms 2008 outlook and provides preliminary 2009 financial outlook.

Scott Garrett, chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, "Despite broader economic uncertainties, we remain confident about achieving 2008 outlook and committed to double-digit earnings growth in 2009. While no company is fully insulated from vulnerable and volatile world markets, we expect our stable installed base to yield solid growth of recurring revenue and an intensified focus on operating excellence to drive achievement of our EPS objectives."
2008 Outlook
The company estimates that, based on current exchange rates, full year 2008 revenue should increase by about 12%. Operating margins are anticipated to be on par with prior year results, between 11.5% and 12%. Non operating expense should be about $48 million. Therefore, earnings per share expectations remain in the $3.55 to $3.65 range, with a tax rate of 26 to 27%.

Thanksgiving: Carmel Creek School
Editor's Note: We asked students in Maureen Barney's first grade class at Carmel Creek Elementary School how to make a Thanksgiving turkey dinner. Below are their responses.
Maureen Barney's class at Carmel Creek:
First set up the table. Second buy your turkey. Go back home and drain the fat, put oil on it, put barbecue sauce on it. Third put it in the oven. The temperature is maybe 28 degrees. You maybe put it for a half an hour. Then you take it out but don't eat it yet. Then you can buy the mash potato. Go back home, put some cranberry sauce. Stir the mash potato. Fifth try to make the salad by yourself. Use lettuce, apples, corn on the cob. Then buy any kind of pie. At last, welcome the friends and families. Then eat.
Buy a turkey at Costco. Put some smelly plants inside the turkey. Put it in the oven 15 degrees for 51 minutes. Then I eat it.
You will have to buy a turkey. Put oil on it. Put it in the oven and make the temperature 30 degrees. Take it out of the oven. Eat it.
Buy a turkey and some potatoes. Then mash some cranberries and the potatoes. Next roast the turkey, turn the oven up to 30 degrees. Finally you have a feast.
Let's bake in the kitchen. Buy it then take out bones, next you air pressure it. Then put it in the oven and wait for 30 minutes.
First you take out the bones. Second you wash the turkey so the fat runs down the drain. Next here are one of the places you can buy, you can buy the turkey at Costco. Then you cook the turkey for 39 degrees maybe that's how long the oven is hot. Last you put the turkey out to cool in the wind so the turkey gets warmer.
First buy the turkey. Second put oil on it. Next flavor it with spices. Then I put it in the oven for nine minutes. Last put gravy. Finally I eat it.
First you have to get vegetables. Second you wash the turkey. Third you have to put gravy. Fourth you have to cook it. Fifth you have to flavor it with spices.
Step one you buy a turkey. Step two you put it on a plate. Step three carve the turkey. Step four eat it.
Hunt it. Wash it. Drain the fat. Put oil on it. Take out the bones. Put barbecue sauce on it. Air pressure. Steam it. Put it in the oven for two hours. Let it cool.
Buy it at Ralph's. Put barbecue sauce on it. Put it in the oven at a million degrees for three hours.
First buy the turkey. Next take out the bones. Last roast it. Flavor it with sugar.
You steam it. I eat potatoes or pasta. I eat it with applies and bananas.

If you like frangipane (cream fillings made from or flavored with almonds), this is the dessert for you.
Plums and pluots, like all stone fruits, have an affinity for almonds, so this pudding-like cake is based on almond flour (also called almond meal). The cake base is topped with slices of fruit that have been lightly cooked to make a thick syrup. Composed in individual custard cups, these desserts are comfort food at their best. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
|1 cup
|soft unsalted butter (2 sticks) (divided)
|1 1/3 cups
|Sugar (divided)
|2 large
|eggs (at room temperature)
|1/2 teaspoon
|pure almond extract
|1 cup
|almond flour
|firm plums or pluots (about 2 pounds)
|3/4 teaspoon
|ground star anise
|1/4 teaspoon
|ground nutmeg
|Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of four 1-1/2-cup ramekins and set aside.
Place 1-1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) of butter in the bowl of an electric mixer and add 2/3 cup of the sugar. Beat until the mixture is smooth. Add the eggs and almond extract, and beat again. Add the almond flour and mix until combined. Divide the batter among the 4 prepared ramekins, about 1/2 cup of batter for each.
Cut the plums (or pluots) in half through the stem end, discard the pits, and slice each half into 4 wedges.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet and add the star anise, nutmeg, and the remaining 2/3 cup of sugar. Cook over medium heat until the sugar melts, stirring frequently. Add the plums and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit just begins to soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Arrange the plums on top of the puddings and spoon the syrup over the fruit.
Bake until the almond cake is golden and the plums are tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes, then serve the pudding cakes warm with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

-10°c A few clouds
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Posted: 05/17/2013 1:00 AM | Comments: 0
"PLEASED to know you, Jack. What about another beer?"
Call it death by hospitality.
The speaker is Jock (played by the popular Australian actor Chips Rafferty in his last screen role) the police chief of the tiny Aussie town of Bundayabba, known to the locals as "the Yabba."
On the receiving end of Jock's affably masculine invitation is John Grant (Gary Bond), a Brit schoolteacher obliged by a $1,000 bond to teach in Australia's most remote outback outposts.
Grant is on his way to Sydney after the end of the school year. But he effectively gets trapped in the Yabba, seduced by copious beer consumption, a local coin-toss gambling mania and finally a kind of demented male camaraderie. Its first iteration is in the benign beer-guzzling entreaties of the police chief himself. But Grant succumbs to bonding of a darker nature when he falls in with Doc Tydon (Donald Pleasance), an intellectual match for Grant who has cheerfully gone to seed in this remote, hot backwater.
After listening to Jock proudly talk up what a grand place the Yabba is, Tydon offers the immortal quip: "All the little devils are proud of hell."
Made in 1970, Wake in Fright was directed by Canadian Ted Kotcheff (The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz) with a pair of British movie stars in lead roles. It won an award at Cannes and played in France for five months, but Australians didn't take kindly to the film's portrayal of Aussie masculinity and the movie promptly failed in its domestic release.
Indeed, it was considered a lost film until a print was found in Pittsburgh and it was digitally restored in 2009.
Australians have since embraced the film; well, as much as a film of this nature could ever be embraced. Its most notorious scene is a horrifying kangaroo hunt in which the animals are cut down by drunken hunters in a gruesome slaughter all the more upsetting because Kotcheff got the footage from a real hunt.
That sequence is not soon forgotten.
But this is also a film of more subtle horror, depicting one man's psychological disintegration in chillingly credible gradients.

 Hey guys!

 I took some time this past weekend to get my foundation pages in order for December Daily® and I'm happy to share them with you today.

 Here's a look at the steps I went through in getting this album ready for December 1:

 1. Organize my page protectors. I use the term "organize" loosely as you'll see: I laid each of the four designs out on my table and put them into the album in this order: full 6x8, 4 pocket (3x4), 2 pocket (4x6) and then the 3-pocket one (4x6 and 3x4 combo). You'll run out of the 3-pocket first and then the 2-pocket next. Once I ran out of those two I just put the rest of the full page 6x8 and the 4-pocket in the back of my album. I want some flexibility. I want to decide I want another 6x8 page for my story today. The order of the page protectors really isn't super important in the long-run (and can make some people more frustrated than others). Also, as you'll see in the video - I have quite a few left over that I'm just keeping at the back of the album to work in during the month if/when I need them.

 2. After I got the page protectors in the album I simply began the process of getting a number on most of the pages. I mixed in the December Daily® 2014 Overlay Combo pack with the wood veneer numbers (I embossed those in white) and the big gold numbers (+ a couple others as you'll see below).

 3. I cut the three transparencies in half and am using them as fun dividers. I'll probably move them around during the month so that they go with stories I might be telling, but I might also just leave them right where I have them now. I used the Crop A Dile to punch holes in the sides (use a page protector as your guide) and then I folded over the sticker tabs and stapled them in place with a Tiny Attacher. NOTE: There is a "film" - basically a plastic layer on top of the transparencies that you should pull off when you are ready to work with them.

 4. After that I really just started playing with paper and numbers and embellishments as you'll see below.

 Here's a look at where my album is at right now:

2014 FOUNDATION PAGES

 On the cover of my album I added a gold letter "E" for Edwards using red line tape. I embossed the wood veneer numbers using white embossing powder (mine has been contaminated by gold glitter from a previous project so there's a few flecks included here and there). If you want to learn more about embossing I showed how I do it in my Foundation Pages video last year.

 The first page of my album for 2014 is a "reason why" page which is a great way to begin an album like this. Why are you participating in this project? What is your reason why? You can handwrite or open the 6x8 PNG in Photoshop and type in your words. Above "the reason why" I added one of the glitter stars and below I added the December Daily rubber banner (adhered with red line tape).

 Today I'm sharing a Reason Why printable/PNG package with you:

 The package includes PNG files and printable PDF files of "my reason why," "our reason why," and "the reason why" so you can choose which one fits best for your own project.

 CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE REASON WHY PACKAGE.

 I printed mine on Epson Matte Presentation Paper.

 I can't wait to read your reasons why.

 After my "reason why" my album begins with December 1. For December 1 I included a 6x8 overlay printable (these can be printout out like this or added to your photo in Photoshop).

 If you are adding pattern paper strips to the printables, the size on the 6x8 that worked for me was 4.5 inches x 1.25 inches. On top of the green and white pattern paper I stamped using red ink + the strip of stars on the stamp set.

 Here's the first of the transparent pages that I cut in half. To the middle edge of each I added the small word tab stickers (folded over) from the kit and stapled it in place with the Tiny Attacher. I punched holes in the transparency using the Crop A Dile. Don't forget to pull off that "film" before attaching the tab.

 For Day 2 so far I've included the "All I Want For Christmas" card (I stamped those numbers on there using stamps from the kit + Gray Flannel Memento Ink) + a gold glitter tree + a red plastic star + the embossed #2.

 On the back of Day 2 I started Day 3. Behind that gold glitter tree I cut pattern paper to fit and adhered it + a cute little puffy heart (from the kit). On the Day Three card I stamped "the story of today" three times.

 Day 4 includes the pink-border 4x6 card + the star circle stamp + an embossed #4.

 For Day 5 I used the gold glitter to emboss two stars from the stamp set.

 Here's the second transparent insert - love these ombre dots.

 Day 6 is starting with a pocket full of tissue confetti circles + the plastic word twinkle + a plastic star + a few random gold sequins I had laying around. This pocket is going to be stitched closed, along with the #6 pocket, when I complete that day. I want to leave it open in case I want to add something else (or emboss the back of the #6).

 I added one of the gold glitter stars to the "o" of "more." This is one of those places where I'm leaving a little room to play during the month (no date set on the page opposite).

 Day 7 is an overlay + some of the orange triangle pattern paper + stamped "make merry" at an angle.

 Day 8 is currently just the number 8.

 I did emboss the back of the gold 8 - thinking I will probably do that for the other numbers. I like the back with the white vs. the plain chipboard. You can also simply back those numbers with a pattern paper - I just like the idea of keeping some of these pockets see-through.

 I'm using that fun number page for Day 9 - thinking I'll stamp "remember this" at the top left and then hand-write the things I want to remember from that day along the edge there. Or not. Just an idea to consider.

 Behind Day 9 I added this star pattern paper - not sure what I'll add to it yet but I like it. You can also see the next transparent divider was added here - no rhyme or reason - just spreading them out within the album.

 For Day 10 I've started with a pattern paper 4x6 sheet + the masking tape + embossed #10 + a bit of red stitching.

 Day 11 so far includes a 4x6 printable + pattern paper + acrylic star + a mini silver brad. I like to use Tim Holtz's Retractable Craft Pick to go through shapes like this (and chipboard) before putting the brad through.

 I painted the random circle chipboard page using Martha Stewart Summer Linen Satin. It took about three coats to get it to this consistency. My plan is to use this for Day 12 since there are 12 holes - most likely I'll add some of the chipboard shapes and/or photos or words. My initial plan is to print out a photo to cover up the back or I might just paint the back as well. I'd like to maintain some of the transparency of the holes so I'll be thinking of a way to work around that on the 12th.

 I haven't totally tackled the other two chipboard sheets that are included in the kit. I did decided to paint over top of the calendar sheet (same paint as above) and I'm thinking I'll cut that one up and use as insert pages at some point during the project.

 Day 13 so far includes the gold numbers adhered to the pinecone pattern. Above it I added one of the bokeh transparent stars + a gold glitter heart + a silver mini brad on top of the red stripe pattern paper.

 Behind that bokeh star card I added a simple card that includes a gold glitter star + the stamped star circle + some of the orange pattern paper cut and adhered along the bottom.

 Day 14 includes a 6x8 overlay with a piece of that cute lightbulb pattern along the bottom. I stamped "remember this" using the kit stamps.

 Following that page is the full page "let there be peace on earth" - I followed what I did before on that other full page text page and added a gold glitter star in the middle of an "o."

 For Day 15 I created a card that includes some of the blue striped pattern paper + the grey star pattern paper + stamped red stars + stamped "make merry" + red stitching + the #15 embossed.

 Day 16 features a portion of that 6x8 star page + the number 16 stamped in red using stamps from the kit.

 Day 17 includes a 3x4 overlay + red pattern paper + red stitching.

 You can also see that I added the second star transparency insert here as well.

 Next to the Day 17 card I cut out "merry happy everything" from the black background and added it to the pocket (love creating see-through opportunities).

 That's Heidi Swapp Sweet Cherry Color Shine sprayed on top of the start pattern paper. I stamped "tis the season" from the kit stamp set and then embossed the 18 before adhering.

 For Day 19 (still need to do the number) I wrapped some of the printed masking tape around the card and then paired it with the star pattern paper. I also added line of red stitching there.

 Day 20 is a white sheet of paper + the "2" and the "0" from the postage stamp sticker set + the story of today stamp.

 Day 21 features a 6x8 overlay + green striped pattern paper + "let your heart be light" stamped in green and grey.

 I've also included the red dot transparency here with the "joy" tab stapled in place.

 For Day 22 I've started with a 3x4 card (that cute little tree) and then added a gold glitter star + the embossed 22 + a stamped "happy christmas."

 Day 23 currently features an overlay card + a gold glitter triangle/tree + a red plastic star + a mini-brad.

 The last 1/2 of the transparency is included here.

 For Christmas Eve so far I just have the 24 in the pocket. My plan is to stitch them inside.

 All I have for Christmas Day right now is that awesome big gold foil 25. I'll likely include more page protectors for Christmas Day since we tend to have more photos on that day (and like I said there are quite a few left-over to choose from).

 After the 25 I've got the large 6x8 Merry Happy Everything page included for now. I might end up moving that around based on the earlier days or I might use it as a closing page for the album.

 I put together a video overview of the album that repeats a bunch of the things I outlined above.

Hey guys!

Lots of work happening behind the scenes here around here right now which makes for a quiet blog. I pretty much have every project going at once this year: a workshop (Lens Of Joy - if you missed this round I'll run it again sometime next year), December Daily®, Week In The Life™, and the Story Subscription.

Here's a bit about where I'm at with each:

December Daily® | Kits were shipped (expedited 2-3 day) to domestic customers on Monday so you should be getting them any day if you haven't already (minus the album that will be shipped this Friday). International kits + albums will ship expedited this Friday. Thank you for all the kind words of support as we worked our way through getting the albums released from customs and on their way to you. I love reading the positive comments from people who now have the kit in their hands. I'll be working on my foundation pages this weekend and hope to have something to share before Thanksgiving.

Week In The Life™ | I spent most of today (Wednesday) printing photos (slow) and making progress on my album (also slow). I think it might be because I really want to get all those words I included in my blog post + the different sized images.

Story Stamp™ & Story Kit™ Subscriptions | We are in the process of getting the new products into the warehouse and photographed and will launch the Story Kit™ once those are in place and the page is ready. I'm excited to share the next evolution of the Story Subscriptions with you.

Hello Monday!

Just wanted to let you know that a new Story Stamp™ theme is now live.

 This month we are telling stories related to the theme Daily with a stamp set that includes 27 individual clear stamps.

Daily stories are my passion. They ground me in the present and continue to help me develop a life-long attitude of gratitude. This month's stamp set was designed to become a go-to set to encourage you to tell a variety of different daily-themed stories. Mix and match the days of the week with the story themes to document your own daily stories.

If you are a current Story Stamp™ subscriber the set should be on it's way to you soon and you can access the content in the classroom now. In the classroom under the Lessons tab you'll find the 8-page PDF handout, the process video that walks you through how I created one of the sample layouts using the stamps this month, and a bonus PNG/cut file.

A big thank you to all of you who are currently subscribing. I appreciate your support and your enthusiasm about the content in the classroom and the stamp sets.

If you are interested in more information about how this program works check out the order page here.

More information will be coming in December about the Story Kits™.

Ah my friends, it's getting closer!

As many of you have noticed I'm getting going on this project a lot later than I have in previous years. It's definitely not my first choice, and there are a number of different reasons for that, some within my control and some out of it (read below for a shipping update).

As always December Daily® for me is about capturing one story per day from December 1 through December 25th. I love focusing on the words and the photos, looking for things to capture via my lens (especially things that twinkle and sparkle - oh, I can't wait for those twinkle lights), finding things to be thankful for in the middle of the mess, capturing Simon and Anna's joy, and reflecting on this past year. I love that this is an album that can hold all those stories.

While I wait for my full kit with the album to arrive here's what I'm working on:

 1. Re-reading my past December Daily® posts and reflecting (you can see the albums in one place here and you can read all the past posts here). What did I love? What do I want to do again and what do I want to skip? How can I simplify or how can I tell more if that's my intent this year? I think having a general awareness of the stories you want to capture is a great way to being this process and something to keep in mind throughout the month.

 2. Listen to this fun podcast: The Scrap Gals Podcast With Tiffany And Tracie. Katie and I listened to this the other day and it was so great and we were laughing right along with Tiffany and Tracie throughout - full of history and thoughts and tips about this project.

3. Listen to Christmas music. Katie and I haven't started playing it in the office yet - which is unusual for us. But I think this will be the week we start.

4. Gather up supplies you think you might be playing with in December and corral them into one place. I'm gathering things like gold embossing glitter and red embossing powder (always), white or cream paint, pens, etc.

5. Print out any printable cards you might be including. Read below for information on my 2014 sets.

Here's a look at all the fun things that should be on their way to you very soon if you've ordered the kit this year:

December Daily® 2014 Kit from Ali Edwards on Vimeo.

So many fun things that I can't wait to start playing with - especially those big gold letters, the masking tape and the stamps.

PRINTABLES + OVERLAYS

In addition I've got my annual packages of digital overlays and printables now available for those of you who like to incorporate those into your albums.

This year I've included 6x8, 4x6, and 3x4 - sold in individual packages - as well as offering a combo pack for the first time that includes all three sizes. Each package includes 31 individual PNG files for each day in December + easy to print PDF's in black, gray and red. For 2014 I decided to go back to one of my favorite overlay designs and have updated it to correspond to 2014 dates. What's cool about these overlays is that you can also use them for different times of the year simply by erasing/removing/covering up the day of the week.

I'll have some new layered templates and additional holiday themed items up next week.

KIT SHIPPING UPDATE

If you have purchased the December Daily® kit, please check your email today for a shipping update.

It has always been our intention that this kit arrive to you in time to begin working on it before December arrives.

Unfortunately we are experiencing a delay with the albums as they are stuck in customs in LA and we are waiting for them to be released. Please know that these were initially slated for arrival to the warehouse in October.

As you can imagine, we are seriously unhappy with this situation and we are doing everything in our power to get these kits and albums to you (including exploring a variety of options to make that happen). Your patience as we assess the best path forward is greatly appreciated.

Because this is supposed to be a really fun, joy-filled positive experience.

If you have additional questions or issues related to your order (such as wanting it shipped to a different location) or would like other accommodations please start a conversation with Customer Service.

Hoping to have it in your hands very soon!

I start a lot of blog posts that I don't finish right away. Sometimes I don't finish them at all.

 Some are about memory keeping or specific techniques or stories of our everyday lives I want to share. Many are thoughts/threads I'd like to follow or research or investigate. Some are one sentence and some are significantly more flushed out.

 Last night I took some time to look back through a few of my partially finished posts and came across this one that included two different threads about gratitude. The first I wrote right after a weekend with Aaron and all the kids more than a year and a half ago which is why I refer to him as "a friend" (he's significantly more than that now). The other is writing I did for a post on The Gratitude Project that I intended to share here at one time or another.

 I'm in a different place emotionally then when I wrote the words below, yet they ring true to me now just the same. Some of my messes are still the same and others are new (or new versions of the old ones). Reading through the words about practicing gratitude in the middle of the mess all over again was a great reminder to check back in with myself and my current gratitude habits.

 This month there's a lot of people leading gratitude projects and talking about developing the practice of gratitude. Like Cathy. Like Rhonna. And probably many others I don't know about specifically.

 Now feels like a good time to share.

 I was chatting with a friend at the park last week and he made the comment that it's hard to savor the moment (beautiful sunshine, fresh air, good company) when the kids are all having their own individual meltdowns (throwing rocks, sulking, being unkind, etc).

 Deep breath.

 That was my answer. At least the answer in my head and my body's reaction to his words.

 For me, taking that big deep breath is both a pause and a taking it all in. It's a recognition that all of this - the mess and the joy - is a part of my life.

 Learning to savor moments even in the middle of a mess is a practice that starts with a recognition that this is how I want to live my life. I want that for myself - to be the person who, even in the middle of all the crazy, can take a deep breath and be thankful.

It's so not easy, but I'm pretty sure it's worth it.

One of the ways I savor moments even in the middle of mess is to practice gratitude. Somewhere during that deep breath or immediately following, I identify one thing I'm thankful for, one thing that's good in my life. It might be right in front of my face or something I can't see at all.

The key, I think, is to practice savoring moments and being grateful both when you're in the mess and when you're not in the mess.

Do it when it's hard. Do it when it's easy. That's what makes it a practice.

 I tell myself, "Look around, what's good? There is always, always something." Always.

 What are you grateful for?

 Ah, gratitude. My old friend.

 I'm obviously grateful for the beautiful basics of my life like my kids, my family, my friends and my home. I'm also really grateful for my work and for the many opportunities I've had to travel over the years both personally and professionally.

 But at the heart of it I'm actually really grateful for the mess.

 Even when I'm knee deep in the messes of life I'm thankful for the opportunity to simply be alive - to learn and grow and make-it-through and be a witness to humanity and all the broken beauty it presents. I've been in that place where I was doubled over with sadness and fear and it's tough to keep an eye on gratitude in those moments, but it's possible. It takes practice and a commitment to coming back to it again and again even when I fail miserably.

 Expressing gratitude is my lifeline. The process of identifying the things that I'm thankful for in the middle of the mess gives me so much perspective. It's a tool I learned from my Mom. She's awesome at practicing gratitude in the middle of it all. She writes handwritten letters, she calls to say thank you, she's conscious of her blessings, she's amazing at forgiveness and she's so very real about it all and the struggles she encounters on her own journey.

 One of the significant ways I practice gratitude in the middle of the mess is through memory keeping. I use photos and words to document my life and express gratitude as I live my story from one day to the next. It's through this process of documentation that I truly see (make visible to myself) all the things I have to be thankful for every day of my life.

 Here's to second chances, forgiveness, compassion, embracing imperfections and gratitude in the mess.

 Originally written for The Gratitude Project.

I also love this message from Danielle LaPorte about loving your sadness. It's all about living the length and the width.

As I re-read the above writing I can't help but think of Brene and the conversation we had during the filming of her Oprah class on The Gifts Of Imperfection. We talked about how photography is a big piece of my personal gratitude practice and how that has helped me through many challenges, including divorce.

 Before you jump into seeing the photos or watching the video I want to remind you that there's no right or wrong way to approach bringing all this together into an album. Tell the stories that matter to you in a way that's enjoyable to you. That might mean you use a ton more product or a lot more handwriting or a lot less photos or no words right on your photos and a whole lot more pattern paper. Take my ideas as a jumping off point but make the process work for you and your family and what makes you happy.

 Here's what was rattling around in my brain as I began the process of putting this together this past:

 What is the story I want to tell? How do I want to communicate that? Let the story take the lead.

My basic process is this:

Choose photos. For me this includes looking back at my blog posts for the week. I figured that I put effort into those posts (choosing photos + writing words) so why not use that as the jumping off point for my album. I'm doing it one day at a time because each day had it's own feel and I like focusing on one day at a time.

Resize photos in Photoshop and add words directly to the photos using the Type tool. Again, my words are coming directly from my blog posts with a few additions here and there.

Print photos. I print at home using either an Epson PictureMate Show for 4x6 and smaller or an Epson R2000 for enlargements.

Add embellishments. This includes stamping on the photos.

Getting one day done really helped solidify my process for the rest of the days and I think it will go quicker as I move forward. I'll continue the pattern of dealing with the photos and the words first and then add embellishments.

Most of the products I'm using came with the Week In The Life™ kit. I've added a supply list at the bottom of this post for any additional things I used.

As you will see, I like repetition and I like keeping things simple. Here's a look at what I've put together so far:

If you are following along with my design plan for 2014 and using the album/kit option you should have one or two extra page protectors. I decided to start my album with one of the 3x4 pocket pages that I cut in half (making sure to maintain the pockets by cutting on the outside of the seam) because I like to vary the size of the page protectors I include in my album.

Adding this pocket page gave me the chance to introduce this album and include "my reason why" and "who we are right now."

 TOP POCKET | Week In The Life™ patch adhered to the star transparency.

 WOOD VENEER DAYS OF THE WEEK | Along the edge of the pockets I adhered the wood veneer days of the week using 1/8 inch red line tape. You can paint this or emboss it or cut it up or just leave it plain and attach or adhere. I decided to simply adhere it along the edge of the cut page protector. Whenever I include a cut page protector (or another insert that is smaller) I like to add something to the edge. The red line tape seems to be holding it in place just fine and it's totally transparent from the other side.

 BOTTOM POCKET | Begin with your "reason why." I took one of the cards from the kit and stapled the "my reason why" (you can find this on the perforated phrase/word sheet) on top of the other word that was there originally. For the title of the card I stamped and embossed (with the Gold Glitter Zing) "stories of life" which is part of the stamp set that came with the kit.

 To print directly onto a journal card I simply set up a 3x4 inch canvas in Photoshop, measure the space I have for my text, and then print a test print on regular printer paper. After that I temporarily adhere the actual journal card onto the printer paper and run the card through the printer again - out comes the journal card with my words right where I want them on the card.

 Here's a look at the back of the first pocket page:

Behind the Week In The Life™ patch I used the circle stamp + the "this is our life" stamp from the kit + Gold Glitter Zing. A 1.5 inch circle punch is just the right size for that stamp.

MAKE A "WHO YOU/WE ARE" CARD | Another thing I wanted to include at the beginning of the album (and part of the reason I added this title page) was a simple journal card that included our ages and just a few things we are each into right now. The big "E" is from this set of Pebbles Gold Foil Letter Stickers. I use them a couple more times on other photos this day.

As you will see throughout Monday I'm using the perforated phrases/words on just about every photo (seen above under the "E"). I love those things.

For my title photo I went with a full page 6x8 + digital word art from my What Today Looked Like set.

I adhered the blue star above the title using some red line tape.

And then we move into the first day of the week:

In the video tutorial last week I walked you through the process of working with the Week In The Life™ Layered Templates.

One of the things I mention in that video is the ability to remove (turn off the layer or erase it completely) to customize it to what you want. For Monday I decided to remove the lines - one click hid all the lines, another click hid the logo and the third click hid the year - and add some of my journaling right to this main page.

All the journaling throughout this first day came directly from my blog post sharing my words and photos for Monday. On the perforated strips there are days 01 thorough 07 so I'm planning to add those to each day of the week on the first page.

 A simple and easy way to add more photos to your album is to adhere them back to back. I printed out these two photos, adhered them together with rolling adhesive and then used a Crop-A-Dile to punch holes that match the rings in the album. I do that by simply laying a page protector on top of the photos and using those holes as a guide.

 Next I cut the chipboard "AM" and added it right above the journaling.

I really like the look of the printed journaling directly on the photos + a physical embellishment on top. I'll be repeating this simple concept throughout the album.

In general I like to add photos chronologically, starting at the beginning of the day and moving throughout the day towards the evening.

It's not a hard and fast rule for me though, as you'll see as I share the rest of Monday.

You might choose to group yours in totally different ways - such as by time of day, theme, etc.

Next up in my album is the 3x8 page protector. Which I love. Which I can't wait to have more of in the shop. I'm a big fan of inserting these kinds of pages in Project Life® (pages that are shorter widths than the rest) and was excited to include these in the album/kit option.

Also included in the kit were these 3x8 timeline cards. For Monday I decided to print small photos and add them right onto the timeline card vs. journaling. It's likely that I will write or print on these on other days, but it's nice to show a different way of approaching them.

 On top of each photo I added 1/2 of a label along with a couple words about the photo itself. Cutting those labels in half will give me more options as I move forward with the week.

The last thing I added to the 3x8 page protector was a small index tab (also included in the kit). Instead of using what's printed on there I stamped on the inside using ">> stories" ("remember" would also fit) in red ink. I stapled that in place using the Tiny Attacher.

On the back I went for a full page 3x8 photo. I cropped this image in Photoshop (3x8 at 300dpi), added the text and then printed it here at home.

I might not do this same thing each day because this is a great space to be able to add more words, but it works awesome for when you have a lot of photos. We'll see as I tackle the other days what makes the most sense for each individual day.

 I cropped my photo in Photoshop and then printed on 8.5x11 photo paper and cut it out.

For future days I'll likely do two 3x8 photos on one 8.5x11 inch piece of photo paper just to save some paper.

Next up is a 4-3x4 pocket page.

 I'm including a chipboard number for each day of the week and using the Gold Glitter Zing on the front and back before stapling them into a pocket. I love keeping some things see-through.

On the photo of Anna in the bottom left pocket I stamped "love this" from my Photos Stamp Set and added "be fearless" from this awesome Tim Holtz rub on sheet. To stamp on the photo I used Black Cherry StazOn ink.

On the To-Do list journal card I just added a few simple things I knew were on my list that day.

On the back side of the 4-3x4 page protector I included the "Monday" card and two more photos.

I stamped "this is my life" from the kit stamp set using Black Cherry StazOn ink on the top photo.

As I looked through my photos from Monday there were two more that I really wanted to enlarge. They didn't fit into my original design plan (hello, be flexible) so I simply enlarged them using the actual size of the page protectors as a starting point (so larger than 6x8) and decided to make the width just a bit smaller. The images ended up being 5 inches wide x 8.25 inches tall. I printed both out, adhered them back to back and used the Crop-A-Dile again to punch the holes. I did take into account where the holes would be when I was placing my type on my photos.

There have been many mini-albums where I've done this sort of thing in the past. I'm remembering how much I like to have some other kinds of pages mixed in with the page protectors (I'll be doing this same thing in December Daily® again next month).

In addition to the journaling I added a gold letter sticker + a perforated phase to each photo.

You'll notice that I also added a larger index tab + stamped "this photo has my heart" from my Photos Stamp Set.

Photos + words people. Sigh. I just love it.

Next up is a 2-4x6 pocket page protector. I went super simple and just added four 4x6 photos with journaling + the perforated phrases.

In the coming days in this album I'll add more of the labels, the chipboard pieces (like I did for "AM" above), and the longer label stickers.

Another thing I did a little different is rather than use one of the 6x8 Layered Templates for the last page of my Monday, I decided to do another full-page 6x8 and add a list of my gratitudes for the day. These came right off my Daily Sheet. It's likely that I'll use one of the photo collages on another day, but this felt right for Monday.

I also love how this page turned out - being able to add both these images next to each other makes me really happy. It's such a standard routine in our house at bedtime - a treasured part of the day for all of us.

"Filled with gratitude" comes from my Just Thankful Word Art set.

One thing I didn't add, as you might notice, are the times of day. I usually add those in some way and to be honest, I forgot because I was simply copying and pasting my text from my blog posts. I will be adding my daily sheets in the pocket behind the last 6x8 photo so they can be accessed in the future.

Remember, make this project work for you!

 Hey guys! I started the process of building my Week In The Life™ 2014 album yesterday.

For me that begins with dealing with the photos and figuring out how many I want to use in album, what sizes, etc.

 Part of my process also includes using some layered templates in the 6x8 pockets. I put together a 20 minute video that walks you through the basic steps of working with the WITL 6x8 Layered Templates. In the video I show you how easy it is to change the date (if you didn't do the same dates as me), re-color the layers, adjust the sizes of the text boxes and mask your photos into the photo boxes.

 If you have any specific questions about working with the templates after watching the video please feel free to ask them below.

 In addition, the Layered Template sets also include PDF files that can be easily printed. I showed examples of that in the 2014 Getting Ready post.

 I'll be sharing more about my process of working with my images and the kit in the next couple of days.

I'm interrupting my Week In The Life™ posting to share some updates on the 2014 December Daily® kit.

There are now real-live photos of the products available the kit on the pre-order page and I'm getting super excited to play with these fun holiday products.

In addition I've got a couple cool announcements:

1. While supplies last, all pre-orders will include double the original amount of papers. Rather than 20 double-sided papers, you'll get 40 double-sided papers which will allow you to use all the designs.

2. All international orders will be upgraded to expedited shipping, free of charge. That's pretty awesome. If you are international customer who already paid for expedited shipping we will refund you. Please note that you will still pay the $8 basic international shipping fee but we'll cover the cost to upgrade it to the expedited shipping option ($30). Shipping is free to US addresses.

3. The 6x8 albums are cloth covered in your choice of red or cream - swatches of those two options should be up on the sale page sometime today (it's in progress). I'll be using the red album this year. If you've already pre-ordered and decided you'd like to change to a different color you can start a conversation with Customer Service and they will take care of you!

Take a look at the full content list and order your kit here. Kits will be shipping mid-November.

I'll be tackling some foundation pages soon along with releasing some new overlays and templates for 2014.

Want to learn more about December Daily®? If you want to start getting in the holiday documenting mood go here to watch a video and check out my past albums. You can also scroll through my December Daily® blog archives here.

Here's a closer look at the items:

Double-sided pattern papers. Again, if you pre-order you'll get two sets so you can use both the front and the back.

Really awesome TALL gold-foil chipboard alphabet.

Sticker sheets including a white white alpha, kraft postage stamp and super cool word tabs.

The kit includes three chipboard pages - this year I plan to mix in some other pages besides the ones in the page protectors. The chipboard pages include a checklist, a calendar + a circle die-cut page that I can't wait to use.

There are die-cut gold foil labels (in the top image they look black or a very dark red - it's because they are hard to photograph) and plastic words in my handwriting: tradition, twinkle, twentyfive, december, and celebrate.

A 4x6 stamp set.

Wood veneer numbers that go up to 31 + gold glitter chipboard trees, hearts and stars + 3 rubber banners (like the December Daily® one shown above).

 Thank you so much for playing along this past week for my annual Week In The Life™ adventure.

 I hope that you enjoyed the process. I hope that you took some images that tell the story of your life right now in just the way you want to communicate it. I hope that you learned something about yourself in the process of documenting via photos and words.

 As you will see below, I took the least amount of photos of any day this week yesterday. I embrace that fully. What I did capture is very much what most of my day entailed.

 Sometimes when I don't pick up the camera, for this reason or that, I like to approach the story by writing about the photos I didn't take. It's a different way to capture the story that's a nice option for those days and times when you might have simply take photos with your mind. I'll add that writing below my photos.

 Later this week I'll be back to share my process for putting this all together into a tangible album. Bring on the next phase of this project!

 PS | In case you've been wondering all week I've been using my Daily Stories And Photos word art on my main photos. If you like that look and want to add it to your own photos you can purchase it here.

SUNDAY PHOTOS & WORDS

 About 30 DSLR + 18 iphone.

 The story of today is that the clocks fell back an hour as part of Daylight Savings time.

 Sundays are for sleeping in.

 The story of today is that my parents stopped by on their way to Tacoma. I love when they stop by, even for just a short visit. Stopping by usually entails lots of hugs and conversation and kids yelling with excitement and a hot cup of coffee.

 The story of today includes conversations around my table. I love Sundays for lingering table conversations. I love that some of my favorite people were all together in one spot. You can read more about the story of this table here. It's a great example of the power of repetitive photography in storytelling.

 The story of today includes noticing shapes as I look through the lens. And dishes. Always dishes.

 The story of today is that I spent a lot of time at my desk from early afternoon into the late evening catching up on work and getting ready for my Lens Of Joy workshop to begin today (registration is open until November 8th). The truth is this is a place I'm very comfortable.

 One of these days I'd love to do a time-lapse in this space. I like how these three shots show the changing light outside over the course of the day.

THE PHOTOS I DIDN'T TAKE

Dropping Simon and Anna off at Chris' house for the night to help celebrate his birthday. Stopping at Taco Bell because they really wanted to get him a burrito and a taco - it goes along with a song they sing with him (or something he says to them - need to get clarification on that). Simon was really excited to take lunch to him.

The egg scramble my sister made for breakfast that was delicious.

My cup of coffee at 7pm to help me get through my evening workload.

More photos of the girls (Anna and her cousin Gabrielle) playing and arguing, playing and arguing.

Me eating leftover Halloween candy.

Me hugging my sister as we said goodbye before she and Gabrielle leave early tomorrow morning. I'm so thankful to have her visit.

SHARE YOUR SUNDAY

 I'd love to have you share a link to your SUNDAY words and photos below. Please link directly to your post vs. a general blog link. In addition you're invited to come over to the free Week In The Life™ Community Gallery & Message Board.

 Words matter.

 They add context and personalize our overall memory keeping experience. They also answer the reason why like I mentioned on Thursday's photos - the why adds so much. Thanks for playing along with my reminder yesterday and I appreciate those of you who are taking it to heart for your own words and stories. I hope it encourages you to tell more.

 Today I'm going to share what Saturdays are for around here.

 My weekends aren't always the same. Chris and I share weekend time with the kids so there are many weekends I'm on my own. This weekend the kids are here with me (last year when I did this project they were with Chris). Most weekends with the kids are really low key - hanging out, recharging, relaxing. Today was a little outside the norm, but it was awesome.

 As I know many of you are, I'm looking forward to being done with the intensity of the documentation. I let up quite a bit by this time in the week and I'm totally okay with that. Take some time today to see what images you might be missing or what photos would make good fill-ins if you haven't taken as many as you'd like over the course of the week.

 I'll be back tomorrow to share my final day of words and photos and then later next week I'll share my process for getting all the content into an album.

SATURDAY PHOTOS & WORDS

 About 130 DSLR photos + 28 iphone.

 Saturdays are for waking up later than the usual 5:30am or 6am alarm for kids and school during the week.

 Of course, everyday is for coffee.

 Saturdays are for all kinds of imaginative play. This is especially more fun when your cousin is in town and you are both wearing pink bathrobes.

 Saturdays are for computer games in your robe at Mom's desk.

 Saturdays are for baths in the middle of the day.

 Saturdays are for trips to Home Depot for new exterior door hardware.

 Saturdays are for lounging on the couch. Or in the case of this story, Anna needing some quiet time away from her cousin.

 Saturdays are for these kinds of looks.

 Sometimes Saturdays are for staying home all day and sometimes Saturdays are for adventures. This particular Saturday included a big adventure for my sister, Aaron, Simon and I as Jessica got tickets to the University of Oregon football game against Stanford.

 We took a cab from my house over to the Stadium and Simon jumped right in the front seat.

 Many of you know that I went to Oregon State and I'm definitely a Beaver fan. I will always be a Beaver fan. But man it was fun to go to Autzen and watch the Ducks.

 And I loved having my sister be the one to take me.

 Saturdays are for meeting up with friends who know just how to engage Simon.

 Saturdays are for laughing.

 Saturdays are for capturing life in whole new environments.

 This is right up there as a favorite photo for the whole week. This is precisely why I carry that big camera around.

 Jessica and Simon sat together one row in front of us and a few seats down the aisle. At first he was completely disinterested and we'd brought along his headphones and phone on the likely chance the whole thing would be too much for him. He ended up doing awesome and so much of it had to do with Jessica's support and encouragement and teaching him different aspects of the game.

 The moment I saw him engaged and interested I was so, so happy.

 Saturdays are for getting out of the house.

 Saturdays are for doing things together.

 Saturdays are for moments.

 Jessica took this shot of Simon and shared the following on Instagram, "That moment - when your sweet little nephew - who really wasn't interested in going to the game - embraces his first football experience, learns some of the rules of the game, and totally gets into the excitement of it all."

 Now that is absolutely what Saturday's are for. Love you Jessica.

SHARE YOUR SATURDAY

 I'd love to have you share a link to your SATURDAY words and photos below. Please link directly to your post vs. a general blog link. In addition you're invited to come over to the free Week In The Life™ Community Gallery & Message Board.

 I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween.

 In honor of a crazy-full day of work and family and friends, I'm skipping the words and just sharing the photos today.

 There are definitely things I want to say about these images and stories to tell (like how both the girls had meltdowns way before it was time to trick-or-treat which left me carving the pumpkins on my own with my Coors Light).

 As you look through the photos I invite you to think about the difference the words make. If I do tell you more, how does that impact your experience?

 My house was full again this year for Halloween and for that I am so very thankful.

FRIDAY WORDS & PHOTOS

 About 116 DSLR shots + 28 iPhone shots.

The board of directors of business appliance maker Gateway, Inc. announced its CEO Wayne Inouye resigned. Rick Snyder, a former Gateway president and COO and current chairman and long-time Director, was named as interim chief executive until a permanent replacement is found.
Inouye, who became CEO following the March 2004 Gateway acquisition of eMachines, resigned to pursue other interests. Snyder will take over as CEO immediately and Inouye will serve in an advisory role to ensure a smooth transition.
Snyder, chairman, CEO and co-founder of Ardesta LLC of, a company focused on bringing small tech products to the global marketplace, has been a director of Gateway since 1991 when he joined the company as executive vice president. Snyder co-led the Gateway initial public offering with Gateway founder Ted Waitt. In January 1996, Snyder was promoted to president and chief operating officer, a position he held until leaving the company as an employee in August 1997.
Snyder said that neither he nor the Board envision any immediate major strategic changes at Gateway in terms of product offered or sales channels. "Having just approved the 2006 annual operating plan, I and the other directors believe the company is essentially on the right course for long-term growth, and that our employees and senior management team have a sense of urgency about improving the company's financial results," Snyder said. "However, we will take this opportunity to re-examine the strategic direction of Gateway to fine-tune our products, services and approach to our Professional and Consumer Direct markets."
The Board has begun a search for a permanent replacement CEO and expects to complete the search by late summer. While in his interim role, Snyder will step down temporarily from his positions as chairman of the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee and member of the Audit Committee but will remain Chairman of the Board. In the interim, Board member Janet Clarke will become chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and Board member George Krauss will join the Audit Committee.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. - The next time you drive through Charlotte County, you will see a lot more red, white, and blue on Veterans Boulevard. With Veterans Day right around the corner, a local women's club has a way you can honor those who served in the military, as well as others who put their lives on the line every day to protect us.
"Anything that has to do with our country I just, I feel like saluting, I feel like standing at attention and saluting," says Carol Deluca.
That's the emotion veteran, Carol Deluca hopes everyone feels when they see these flags flying along Veterans Blvd.
"It just makes me proud, very proud," she adds.
Deluca served in the Women's Army Corps and the National Guard for seven years. Now, a veteran, she's happy to be a part of this effort, flying flags to honor heroes.
"I was very proud to be able to put my daughter's brother-in-law, put a flag up for him, he was missing in action in Vietnam... there's a memory of him," she adds.
But it's not just for the men and women who served in the military. The Women's Club of Port Charlotte started this 'Flags for Heroes' program to give folks the opportunity to raise a flag and hang a banner for someone special in their life.
"Your hero can be a veteran it can be a policeman, fireman, your mother your father, whoever is your hero," says Mary Walters with the Club.
Amidst these flags is one flying for Sgt. Michael Wilson, the Charlotte County Sheriff's Deputy who was killed in the line of duty in August.
"We need to honor the people who make sacrifices for us so that we can enjoy what we have," Linda Webb, a veteran with the U.S. Marine Corps.
While the flags will fly through the month of November, these women hope the sentiment their message carries on. Organizers hope the effort grows every year.
If you're interested in getting a flag for your hero, contact the Women's Club of Port Charlotte at 941-766-8855.
