pumpkins and pictures

So, I sold two photos last night on my etsy shop. I'm THRILLED! It's so exciting when a perfect stranger purchases your artwork. And, I have a friend from college who is purchasing a large panoramic photo as well - so I couldn't be happier! I wish I was selling a photo every day, but maybe some day.... :-) I need to set up a stand somewhere or something during a festival.....oh, thoughts....

I made these amazing muffins last night. I found the recipe on recipezaar - which if you are not aware of this site, it will change your world. Thanks to Emo Mul for turning me on to it! I was reading hungry girl and read that subbing pumpkin instead of oil/eggs is a much healthier alternative when baking.... so I "zaared" pumpkin muffins and came across this great recipe. I saw all the positive feedback so I had to attempt this. I followed the basic recipe, but used golden butter cake mix and added chocolate chips to some of the batter...so I had some regular and some not-so-healthy ones.... and I added allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon. They're GREAT! A little sticky, but very moist (sorry Jess), and dense and satisfying. They'd be great in the fall/winter.... but I love those spices year round. I brought some in to work to share with my ladies...and got pretty good feedback. So I consider it a success.

Excited about the weather. Excited about drinking beer tonight! mmmm.....beer. Excited about sleeping in tomorrow. Excited about people buying my photos and eating my muffins.
