It's simple and the bricks clearly don't match but it still works as a shelter for those many lego men and women that Santa brought.

This brunch dish is easier to make than it sounds, but just as delicious. You need to make it the night before and then it is ready to bake the next morning.

Disco Invitation
My first Christmas as the proud owner of PaperCourt Press was great. I was busy but not too busy, if you know what I mean. I'm currently working on a birth announcement and two invitations.
Below is a Disco invitation I am doing for a sorority sister that I reconnected with on Facebook. Her daughter loves music and they plan to dance and Karaoke (which sounds so fun with a gaggle of 10-year-old girls).

Welcome!
Welcome to PaperCourt Ponderings! I'm not new to blogging just new to this pseudonym. In a moment of frustration, after a long writer's block, I deleted my old blog. I'd had enough and wanted a new look, name and direction.
Come with me on my journey as a new business owner, mother, wife, sister, friend, amateur photographer, food lover, shopper, etc.
