Yes, I am a smart cookie
December 01, 2008
Last week, I finally got my hands on the December/January issue of Cookie Magazine.
If you turn to page 42, look what you'll find...
Yes, that's me. Well, it's another version of my packing list, at least! I was honored that such a fun, cool magazine would ask me to contribute this little bit. It was a fun project to work on to boot! There is supposed to be a version on the Cookie website to download, but it isn't there. I'll let you all know when it's up. And if it is your first time visiting this blog, welcome. I am so excited that you are here.
We had a nice Thanksgiving with my family and friends. The weekend was low key with a bit of organizing thrown in for good measure (thank you, Georgia). Today it is snowing and raining depending on the hour (snowing now) - I think it'd be a nice day to stay indoors and sew or knit. Unfortunately, I have way too much on my to-do list to sit still. Off I go to check off some things. I'll be back in this space tomorrow. See you all then.
bravo, erin!

You're going to think I"m making this up, but seriously, that was the ONLY page I flagged in that issue. I came upstairs and showed my husband what a great idea it was and why hadn't I thought of this a long time ago?! I can't believe that is YOU! Obviously, I was distracted by the cute drawings and didn't really read the fine print. Congratulations! I love it!

Congrats. We get Cookie at our house. I'm glad you pointed it out, it made me remember to read the mag. Thanks for sharing your little trick, in a few years I'll put it to the test!
Posted by: Ashley | December 01, 2008 at 03:19 PM
That's awesome! Congrats!
Posted by: Liz | December 01, 2008 at 03:21 PM
congrats on that. It's actually how I found your blog. I'm always on the look out for creative housekeeping/parenting/lifestyle blogs and just flipping through yours this morning makes me want to move in with your family. That wouldn't be weird or anything, would it?

Wow, congratulations!

Congrats with the magazine contribution. You are so talented, of course they wanted something from you.
I know what you mean about staying in and knitting and enjoying the snowy day. We have the same weather here, and unfortunately I have almost 40 things on my "to do" list for the day, but I admit, I love checking them off one by one.

Hi Erin, Congrats!!
I used your packing list idea for a trip to Grandma's farm a few months ago. Thanks for the reminder to revisit the idea with my little one. Time to get drawing for our trip this weekend!

OMG--you look just like Brooke Shields! (Sorry, somebody had to do it, right?) Seriously, cool, and I think I'll try it for the x-mas packing.
