Hold Dear: studio friday.

I am determined to make it to Studio Friday this week since I haven't joined in awhile! It's after midnight here so I'm just squeekin' in! Just lots going on. Silver Bella in LESS than two weeks...Miranda moved to Maui...also occupying my mind is my Mom will be having surgery in December so I get to go to California to help out, hang out, and watch movies with my Momma! She's finally gettin' that new hip she's always been hankering for! :-) Yay Mom!!! Oh and an added bonus...I'll get to visit my sisters Renee and Simone and see my great-nieces for the first time! I've got two of them now because Ryan and Tina had number two about a week ago!

So back to SF...this week's topic is ORANGE as suggested by Espialdesign.

Since Halloween is fast approaching, and it's fall, let's focus on the color orange.

Oh boy! I love orange! It's one of my favorite colors. Specifically, pumpkin orange!!! It just makes me all squeeky and happy. I don't have any pumpkin-colored fun to share with you because we haven't got our pumpkins yet. We tried to go this past Sunday but our very favoritest place was closed! We'll try again this weekend.

So let's celebrate orange a different way, shall we?Going outside of the studio here but I recently made a very fantastical discovery...Odwalla Pumpkin Protein Drink. And it's soy!!! Is this new? I haven't seen it before. It's pretty good. It has the consistency of eggnog so I think it'll go good in coffee. Or better yet, maybe warmed with a little rum and cinnamon. :-)

The other orange I want to celebrate is the orange of sweet Satsuma Mandarin oranges!

Okay so even though you can get mandarin oranges other times of the year, aren't they just more fun getting a whole box of them? I think they always taste better in quantity! They're SO good and SO fun! And even though Miranda was not of the generation where all she got in her Christmas stocking was an orange, we still like to always put one in there...just as a reminder to all of us that there was a time when if ALL someone got in their stocking was an orange, they were thankful. :-)

Thanks Stacia and Tine for the fun and hope you all have a great weekend!!

Mmmm. lots of orange around here these days---4 pumpkins, halloween decor, & a box of satsumas too! As soon as I saw these on sale, I had to get a box for us & another to drop off at my little girls dorm! Truly holiday season when the satsumas appear :). Love 'em!
