I heart oatmeal!

one of my [many] food "obsessions" is oatmeal. I love it almost any way, or used with almost any thing. my most favorite cookies of all are oatmeal raisin (go figure). so, this morning (actually, I think it was nearly noon by the time I actually got around to eating 'breakfast') I decided to make myself some oatmeal. what better on a beautiful, crisp autumn day? I never use the amount of water it calls for, because I like mine thick so I can add milk. I added a little dab'll do-ya of butter, a few pinches of brown sugar, sprinkled on some cinnamon and added some dried cranberries. perfectly yummy!



and! just to prove that I'm really NOT all about food (I realize that's all I've posted about so far -- really, I do more than cook and eat!), I'm throwing in a photo of a more recently finished photo album I made. cardboard (sized and cut to what I needed for my photos), felt, and embroidery floss. simple and cute. this is the front. the back matches, minus the heart.

p.s.
I made the crisp (without the raisins) over the weekend. should post about that (and another craft) sometime this week. so stay tuned! ;)
