I’ve been making some polaroid frames for old photos lately and I wad thinking about writing a tutorial. But then I found this http://create.northridgepublishing.com/wow-134-diy-polaroid-frames/ . So if you like the look have fun! A better tutorial then I could have written ;) though I’m bummed my idea wasn’t totally original. I hope you enjoy playing with this!

Vegan fudge brownie truffles. I’m am admitted chocoholic but I try to keep my indulgences healthy. These truffles have just three ingredients. They’re not low caloric but they are good.

Ingredients: 1/3 C walnuts 5 pitted dates 1 T cocoa powder (or raw cacao powder)

Blend nuts and dates together on chop setting in your blender until all crumbled, smaller than peas, but not a paste. Pour into a bowl and add cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly with a fork a homogenous mixture forms. The mixture may still seem crumbly but that is okay. Pick up a little more than a teaspoon at a time and roll into balls, compacting to make it all stick together. Thats it! And if you have a food processor you could probably do this all in there except forming the truffles. 340 calories per recipe. I’ll probably just eat 2 or so as a dessert. Makes 6 or 7 truffles (I already ate two!)

I made quick use if the canvas I got for my birthday to fill in a space on my wall left from rearranging the living room. Playing up my current obsession with hot pink, triangles, and print making (though you can’t really see the stamp detail in this photo it adds nice texture in real life). The other canvas is a project inspired by abeautifulmess.typepad.com .
