I have a couple quick bites I wanted to share!
If you have a moment stop by and check out an article I was in written by Wency Leung from the Globe and Mail, which is Canada's #1 National Newspaper. (um, wow. totally humbled!)
It is called Rainbow Food: A Culinary Trend To Dye For. (great title huh?) Wency was super sweet and I am so honored to be included in this piece!
***
In about a week I am going to be unveiling a fun new project... not only is it fun for me, but for you too! If you like to cook or bake or craft or use your camera, be sure to bookmark your favorites! I might be asking for some submissions soon...
***
Remember these cookies that I made and sent off to Lauren Conrad?? Well, guess what I got in the mail today.
and yes...she signed it. At least, I think she did.
I kid you not, I squealed like a school girl.
***
I have a huge weekend this weekend... an excursion with i heart faces and meeting Cat Cora and three orders of custom decorated sugar cookies due. I cant wait to share pictures with you!, cause you know I will be taking lots! :)
Congrats!!! It's a good book too. :) I posted the link to the cookies on one of her facebook sites, but not sure if it was her official or not, lol.

Congrats on all the publicity! It is much deserved!

Wow. Those rainbow pancakes sure have been a hit! How fun to be in another article. *grin*
OK, I just got myself a little 'educated' on Lauren Conrad and Cat Cora. *Admitting I didn't know who they are. I am so un-cool.*
Anyway, I'm sure you'll have a blast meeting Cat Cora!
And I think I can definitely make out a heart and an L and C in that signature. *grin*

I mean...
Did you happen to catch that special on television this evening about creating your own laundry detergent? It was quite an excellent piece for mother's to learn how to make more frugal decisions for our families and stay on budget.
Squeal!!!
(Oops! That one slipped)
