Biscotti, Infusion Bag and Printer Offerings

This week we had a big deadline - 95% drawings. There are 7 of us in the office working full time on a huge project. There were some late nights this week - my latest was 9:00pm, but two other guys were there until midnight that night.

We had to print a few drawings for a meeting - not the whole set, not even close. My workmate decided to just do it in-house. What a mistake. Doesn't she know about the universal rule of printers!? They fail when you need them the most.

Since it's the season of chocolate, we made the plotter an offering: a chocolate brandy bean.


It didn't work.

We still had to turn it on and off after every sheet it printed...

I've had my eye on a bag from Infusion for years. Years. I finally treated myself (Merry Christmas Jabba!) and....it is the most perfect bag ever.


It's the perfect size - it carries a lot without looking massive. At the most I have to accommodate my wallet, book, lunch, umbrella and my new braces kit.  This bag works with room to spare. Also having two strap options is the bomb. Abby's bags are so well made it's ridiculous.


In other news, I made home made biscotti this week. It was way easier than you'd think.  I found a new blog and have made 3 recipes from her and she's 3 for 3. Her Cranberry Orange Biscotti delivers too.


This weekend I'll be baking, reading, sleeping and wrapping presents. My shopping is done. Just waiting on one more Etsy shipment.

Universal rule of printers AND photocopiers.

Haha awesome on the chocolate offering!! I have a box (unopened) of chocolates at my place right now. I am really want to eat one, but I don't want the whole box and well you can't take it to someone else's place with one chocolate missing SO it's a no go and it continues to torture me.

I love the bag too!!

It's a universal rule for everything electronic, I think. Sometimes THE INTERNET doesn't even work when I need it to most. (Same with our credit card machine-- it only has to 'reboot' or think for ten million seconds when we have a large transaction sum to ring through. People buying $10 worth of art repros, though? No problem. Figures...)

PS: Biscotti looks so good!
