I personally love that at this time of year, magazines and blogs are full of recipes and ideas for Valentine sweet treats. I love baking goodies for my sweetie but they almost always seem to focus on chocolate. Now don’t get me wrong; I love chocolate as much as the next gal, but when it [...]

Here’s a little video we made to celebrate the new year and show off some of our newest designs. The song is called “All Smiles” by Jess Penner. Catchy, isn’t it?

Enjoy!

When I am out and about, doing errands, driving from one place to the next, I will catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye. Often it is a surprising splash of color: in the back alley, on the trash heap, just around a corner. I’ve been known to stop in [...]

Perhaps the thing I most look forward to during the holidays is Cookiepalooza.  It’s a night in December where Susie and I get together with two of our other sisters, Caitlin and Nono, to bake cookies.  There’s always a lot of discussion leading up to the “event” about what cookies will make the roster that [...]

This time of year, Susie and I have been know to “run errands” some afternoons.  This is code for “we’re going out for a slice of Harvest Pie”.  It’s a scrumptious concoction served a local chain bakery restaurant that is near our studio.  We look forward to it’s arrival each year as a reminder that [...]

This weekend, Sunday to be exact, we’ll be baking up a storm for a community fundraiser. We are so saddened by the events in Japan and this event definitely has it’s heart in the right place. The event is being put together by Jonathan Sample at Fresh Pressed Screen Shop here in Los Angeles. The [...]

How could I not pick this little binder book off the shelf at a local thrift shop? I couldn’t tell at first what is was. With all that crazy paisley pattern going on, I initially missed the gold, curly-q lettering on the cover that says “Cooking Clips”. Even without knowing exactly what it was at [...]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned after being with my sweetie for 19 years, it’s that pie is the way to a man’s heart! I’ve made lots of pies for him, including mini-pies and hand pies and even pie-topped pancakes, but these teeny tiny pies seemed like a really sweet way to say “I *heart* [...]

It’s been a busy year.  I think I am not alone in saying that this year has been all about juggling a lot of balls. As December approached, I started my usual daydreaming about all the handmade gifts I would make, all the treats I would cook and bake and the multitude of holiday decorating [...]

October is probably the busiest month here at our studio. It’s when we ship a huge number of orders out to shops all over the world that stock Rock Scissor Paper products for the holidays. It also happens to be the time of year when all I want to do is bake (and eat!) [...]
