summer means

Right now I can't get much any painting done - even thought the ideas & there - there are a couple of different series that I am really excited about tackling. Until I get the time I wanted to give myself another project. A photo project with my fancy new camera. {much thanks to my grandparents and the little one's grandparents for the funds!}
Since it is summer {well almost anyways} what could be better than a summer project. So hopefully once a week {you can cross your fingers, but don't hold your breath} I'll have a photo that for me says summer. Maybe I'll talk about it, maybe now so much, but that's my goal. And I'm excited.
The it's it is quite possibly my most favorite treat. Its is an ice cream cookie with a chocolate covering. The originals have vanilla ice cream, but I am pretty sure they have mint chip & chocolate now too.
I remember having them for the first time as a child at a picnic day for the university in Davis. I remember it being sunny and warm and being in a big park. And the it's it brings it back. I am pretty sure I didn't have them again until I was an adult. I want to say I was visiting Kacey in San Francisco {the home of the it's it} when I saw it in a little corner bodega. And everytime I visit her I have one, usually as we are walking back to the car from some sort of meal. I have been looking for a source in la since I moved here. A couple of weeks ago I found them. Good thing I am burning lots of calories making the breastmilk. Because they really are as good as I remember.

Fantastic idea. I can’t wait to see photo number two. In the meantime I’m going to find myself one of those ice-creams. I don’t know if we have that brand in Australia, if not I’ll find some sort of substitute. Enjoy the new camera, sounds fun. xoxo lj

Wendy, the ice cream sandwiches at Trader Joe’s are pretty rockin’ if your Its It source ever fails you. I swear it. It’s like crack ice cream in a cookie sandwich.
