Love me some Biscoff

One of the reasons that I really like flying Delta is for the Biscoff cookies.  I know, I know...they sell them in grocery stores so its not like Delta is the only place to get them.

A while back I was strolling the aisles of my local grocery store and I came across a jar of Biscoff Spread.  OMG.  I was soooo excited.  I snatched that bad boy up and literally had to control myself from opening the jar right then and there and trying it.

Once I made it home, I confirmed that the spread tastes just as fabulous as the cookies.  It should, right?  Since the spread is made out of the cookies.

Fast forward a few months and I'm back at the grocery store to pick up a new jar and lo and behold there was a CRUNCHY version of the spread now.  Since they're like 6 bucks a jar, I decided to reign myself in and not get both jars...so I'm sitting here happily eating my crunchy biscoff spread right out of the jar.

More Paper Goodies

Between the gracious wedding gifts that we’ve been receiving from our fabulous family and friends and all of the other things that I’ve been purchasing online (Oh, Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, you get me every year!), the UPS and FedEx guys must know our address by heart.

Today, I had a lovely conversation with the UPS man about traveling.  He just got back from Singapore and he was filling me on what was new there since I haven’t been there in years.  I then filled him on my trip to Russia and we compared notes on his hometown of St. Petersburg.  We even talked about his upcoming trip to Ashville to visit the Biltmore, one of my favorite spots.

Anyways…with now less than three months to go till the wedding…attention has turned toward the invitations!

We’ve slowly been amassing lots of stationery.  We settled on paper…The Amazing Holyoke Letterpress 140lb paper.  I just love it…but then again, I love paper.  I’m almost tempted to purchase some sheets of the 280lb as well, but we’ll see about that one…

For envelopes, we decided to go with the Lettra since they had all of the various sizes that we needed.

Last but not least, we also placed an order from Paper Source as well for some goodies.  Nothing like spreading the vendor love!
