tid bits

First off, an overdue thank you to Tracey from Paper Dolls for Boys for bestowing this lovely award upon my undeserving and tardy-with-the-thanks self. I’m happy to call Tracey a friend, although we’ve only met online (isn’t blogging funny, and annoying, that way?) Watch for her soon-to-open etsy shop!

Second off, I managed to finally join the hoards of crafty bloggers that have partaken of the freezer paper stencil craze. And I too now am a freezer paper stenciling addict (I say with pride). It proved to be a perfect project for a stuffy-headed Sunday while the family frolicked, sans me. I will share pics tomorrow because I'm still too stuffy-headed to download the camera pics.

And thirdly, and thankfully, I found a use for our parsley via angry chicken's genius use of quinoa in tabbouleh. As soon as I read the post I ran to the kitchen and made it. Seriously, I was so excited. I wish I could tell you that it was the most amazing salad ever, but I couldn’t taste one single bite on accounta my head is still crazy congested. But it looked pretty. And more importantly, the parsley is gone.
