Third.

Looking back, this year has been quite busy.
My business is improving and I love what I do.
In the end... I guess it's true, hard work pays off :)

Seeing as today is the last day in 2013 and I doubt Minted will
make any last minute announcements, it appears that Petite Papier
ended up in 3rd place in overall 2013 design challenge wins.
I'm quite happy with the results & hope to in 2014.

That being said, there are so many amazing, talented designers
in the Minted community and I [honestly] am just tickled
to be a part of such an amazing group of people
whom I've grown to adore!! Happy 2014 Minties!

and... Happy New Year to all my family & friends!!
XO -Erin

Over the weekend, Reilly severely cut her foot.
Mommy had to let Daddy take care of it.
GAH!

An hour later the doorbell rang and two neighborhood 
boys handed Cooper a note for Reilly...


So cute! No?

WHAT'S FOR DINNER?


PORK CHOPS WITH MUSHROOMS & SHALLOTS

1/2 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1 cup fat free chicken stock
10 oz sliced baby bella mushrooms

DIRECTIONS
In a large frying pan heat the butter over moderately low heat. 
Season pork with salt and pepper. 
Raise heat to medium and add the chops to the pan and sauté for 7 minutes.
