Kara's Cupcakes - Walnut Creek

I've had Kara's before when I went to a street festival with SK and they had the Kara-van there, so when I heard that they were opening a location in Walnut Creek (only 20 minutes from me) I had to check it out.  That, combined with the fact that they sell a pretty decent gluten free chocolate (which is what I had at the street festival) which is great for Than, meant that it had to happen before the end of the semester.  So off SK, Than and I went.  I bought two (and one for Than) and by adding the other one he bought himself to my total I was able to get this super cute reusable tote.

Crafts or Homework... the eternal debate for me.

So this week has been a nightmare of homework and other stressors... so what did I do to cope? I crafted while procrastinating. Yup... and somehow it made the homework seem less daunting.  So the combination of origami and crochet projects has helped to keep me sane (and allowed me to give some pretty rockin' gifts to my dear friends).
