Today’s the day! That is, I’m going to share with you my completed baking notes project, complete with a how-to so that you can make your own version (they don’t have to be baking notes…they could be anything…even a plain pad of paper!). Let’s start at the beginning though, shall we?

A few days ago I fell for some “baking notes” on Anthro’s website: At $7.50, while they weren’t crazy expensive – especially for Anthro(!) – I decided I’d rather create my own so I could tweak the content. Plus, this way I could have a never-ending supply, always able to print some more out! And who doesn’t like a little DIY fun too (with NO trips to the store!)?!

I then shared with you the design for the sheets: (length=about a computer paper sheet’s length; width=just under four inches)

Next, I gave you a sneak peak of the finished product: Well, are you ready to see how to I got to that finished state (and see some more pictures of the end result)?! Let’s get started!

*note: some pictures have their color altered (darkened/dulled in all cases) to best allow the text to be readable* Not including the time it took me to create the design for the baking notes, this project took under 1 1/2 hours (and that was with me figuring out what I was going to do along the way). That means that for not much time, you get a great result! The above photo is of my first entry in the journal! In the case you can see that the “heavenly” box is checked for taste and the “yes! (and often!!)” box is checked in response to the question “make again?”, I’m guessing you’re wondering what it  is that I made and had such rave reviews for…Salt-N-Pepper Cookies from one of my beloved Baked cookbooks! Seriously, these sandwich cookies were divine, with just the right amount of kick, and a filling resembling an Oreo’s filling, but better! If you are looking for a cookbook – heck, even if you’re not! – I truly recommend these two books (huge recommendation!!!!)! They’re Amazon links are here and here (the dark cookies on the cover of the second cookbook link are the Salt-N-Pepper Cookies). And no, I was not paid to write this…I seriously adore these cookbooks with all of my heart. Everything I’ve made from them has been to die for. Okay, side tangent over.

Anyway, I really am quite pleased with how my baking notes came out – they’re personalized to my taste/needs and I can’t wait to continue using them!

Should you have any questions about the process of making them, please feel free to ask me in the comments or by email (email@example.com). And if, by chance, you make your own version, please tell me about them! I’d love to hear (and see pictures if you feel like it!)! 


9-to-5 chic, anthro, anthropologie, chic, clothing, fashion, Footwear, personal style, Shoe, Shopping, style Tack Room Heels ($148) and Tack Room Platforms ($498)

Aren’t both these pairs of shoes to die for?! Simply stunning?! They both, although the second pair in particular, remind me of the personal style of Anh (of 9to5 Chic) . If you’ve never checked out her blog, you’re in for a treat. Really. And truly, chic is the word to describe her style!

But anyway…back to the shoes:  I didn’t even realize it at first, but the names of these pairs of shoes are nearly identical…the only difference is that one pair is called “heels” and the other “platforms.” Yet, even with this small difference, their price difference is unbelievable…as in a $350 difference! I’m not sure if they’re designed by the same company or not…but isn’t this a bit strange?!

And by the way, just as a reminder, tomorrow I leave for vacation. Don’t fear though…I have posts set to go for every single day I’m gone! To read more about the series you’ll be reading, go on over here! And even though I won’t be able to respond immediately, I do hope you’ll feel free to comment, as always! Thanks!
