My friend, Steph, had a cookie decorating party yesterday. I got pretty stoked about this because I LOVE DECORATING COOKIES — as long as I’m not baking them or making the frosting.
I brought my sprinkles and my gel food coloring and we got down to business with some mulled apple [...]
The Craft Saturday Holiday 2011 show is THIS SATURDAY from noon-6 at the Fourth Street Theatre in Des Moines.
I will be there. And so will my new wallets. And all my old stuff will be on SALE. Major sale. Clearance. I want to get rid of it [...]

Here is the last 10 things I’m thankful for this holiday. Happy Thanksgiving!
KELLY LEAMAN (see I am thankful for you specifically) Getting together with a friend I haven’t seen for years and feeling like no time has past 4-wheel drive friends who are okay with you staying in because you’re too old [...]
My friend Molly had her annual Christmas party this year and I was lucky enough to be invited to the festivities. Molly makes the most awesome food and it’s always fun to get together with these girls — usually full-on crazy.
I was really excited to go because I finally got to [...]
I ran out to Camp Courageous and back for the first time since I ran the marathon. Nothing too exciting, except it was about 40° out and beautiful…but foggy. Kinda dangerous, but I’m still here, so oh well.

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
