Pink Ribbon Packaging

One of my favorite jewelry items to make is breast cancer awareness jewelry.  My customers will usually let me know who they are purchasing it for and it touches my heart to know that it's a way for someone to show a cancer patient they care.  


Now all breast cancer awareness jewelry in my ETSY shop will come packaged in a pretty pink ribbon pouch.  Fellow ETSY artist Janie made these for me and I think they're the perfect finishing touch!  Janie has a lot of other bags and items in her shop, so stop by and check them out!  Here is the link to her shop:  jmaeson's creations.

Guacamole

Just in time for Cinco de Mayo this weekend, here's my go-to guacamole recipe.  It's a great recipe that can be adapted to however many avocados you have.  Guacamole sure doesn't photograph well!  But I wanted to show off my new guacamole bowl from San Antonio :)

2 avocados
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small tomato (or a handful of grape tomatoes) chopped
1 lime, juiced
kosher salt and pepper

Slice avocados in half; remove pits and scoop avocado flesh into a large bowl and mash. Add garlic and season with lime juice, salt and pepper.  Mix until well combined.

Optional add-ins:
chopped tomato
chopped onion
cilantro
black beans

TX Vacation - San Antonio Riverwalk

We loved everything about the San Antonio Riverwalk!  We stayed at Hotel Contessa, which is located right on the riverwalk.  We liked that it was located in a quieter area, but still within easy walking distance to all of the action! 


All along the riverwalk were great places to grab some excellent food and drinks. 

Don't you just love the colored umbrellas!  

We took a cruise along the river the first night.  It was a nice way to learn the history of the area and see the sites.

The Hotel Contessa had a great bar in the atrium of the hotel, which was just steps away from the riverwalk.  We got used to afternoon mojitos to cool off.  Yum!

TX Vacation - The Alamo

I was browsing vacation pictures and came across recent pictures of our TX vacation.  I thought I'd share my favorites.  It was our first time to Texas and we spent several days in the San Antonio area.  First up is The Alamo.  My hubby is much more of a history buff, so this was very educational for me.  It was within walking distance from our hotel and we enjoyed walking the grounds and learning the history. 

The architecture and natural landscaping was stunning. 

If you are ever in the San Antonio area, you must make a stop at The Alamo!

Next up,  Riverwalk!
