PICA PARTICULARIS

I'm a clinical psychologist by day, but in my free time I dabble in DIY and collecting things that I find meaningful and beautiful. From the ridiculous to the sublime. There's plenty of both to go around. Welcome to my little magpie nest. Hopefully you will find some things that interest you amongst the bits of string and baubles...

There are two ways to reach me: by way of kisses or by way of the imagination. But there is a hierarchy: the kisses alone don’t work.

DIY Easy Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Butter Recipe from Gina Michele. Because this uses canned pumpkin puree, this recipe is quick and easy to make. Add it to a gift basket of homemade goods.

You could also combine it with Mulling Spices from Happy Hour Projects.

If it’s an apple themed gift you could also include The Yummy Life’s Natural Sweetener Apple Cider Syrup.
