While I really enjoy putting words on pictures, sometimes the photo itself says more.
These are photos that didn’t make it into the last few posts, but I still feel deserve to be noticed.
The Cakes
How I Spent My Wilton Certificate
Growth in the Garden
The Impending Storm
Casey’s Cupcakes
Narrow Stairs at the Mission Inn
My Average Work Station
And my newest photos:
Scharffen Berger Extra Dark Artisan Bar
Celebrating a great writing session by sharing a Mountain High Mud Pie
And finally, what’s been getting me through this week:
Jeremiah 29:11 What It Is. What It Isn’t.
And Frankly, My Dear… that’s all she wrote!

Writing is what I do best. It doesn’t always show through on my blog (although I want it to!), but I write every day. And when I give it my all, it shows.
But it still doesn’t pay the bills. Yet.
I love that word, yet.
And I know that someday, my writing will have yet another Big Before and After moment. I’m just not there…
Yet.
It’s been over a year since I lost my job, and in my human nature, I tend to get down and negative about the way of the world. I try not to, but hit after hit and sometimes I don’t handle it well.
My friend Wendy sent me this great email a few days ago: “I’m so proud of you and all your hard work while you’re out of work!!” She knows how to look on the bright side of things, and boost my spirits!
So I keep writing. I keep holding on, hoping that things will get better. I know they will. They just haven’t…
Yet.
And then I saw this on Pinterest.
And I applied.
And now I’m waiting.
Waiting to hear if I’m the lucky recipient of a $1,000 Blog Scholarship. I’ve so many ideas for building my blog, if only I had more funding. This could be the start.
And even if I don’t win, I’m glad that I entered. Their questions are thought provoking and helped me to verbalize what I want for my blog and how I intend to accomplish my goals.
If you won $1,000 to start up or maintain a blog, what would you do with it?
And Frankly, My Dear… that’s all she wrote!

Winnie, of Winnie’s Inky Fingers, is soon to be the happy winner of the Aroma Houseware’s 6-Cup Rice Cooker!
Her winning comment stated, “I love to serve pulled pork with yellow rice (I add sazon seasoning to white rice when it is cooking!) I am excited for you, good luck with your giveaway!”
And her response upon winning read, “Wow Molly Jo! It is 5 am and I saw this and I am skipping around my house! I never win anything. I am beyond excited. Thank you so much for holding the giveaway and thank you to Aroma for supplying such a cool prize! I have been hating the heat and the idea that I can cook without heating up the house is a major excitement to me. Hope you have a great day, I know I will starting this way!”
Winnie, I can’t wait to read what great meals you’ll make with your new rice cooker! Congratulations!
And Frankly, My Dear… that’s all she wrote!
