Typing on Hubs’ computer right now because mine is on the fritz.
I’m switching to radio silence until the problem with my hard drive is fixed.
Later, Gator!

Doing something a little bit different this week. We’re talking about food! I frequent a few foodie blogs and have actually been trying some of the recipes featured and thought I’d share the ones I’ve tried and enjoyed. Lots of desserts here since I’ve had a few birthdays to make cakes for.

Wardrobe Refashion is this great blog all about restyling something unwearable into something fabulous. To join the fun, you must take a pledge to not buy anything new for 2,4,6 months etc. up to LIFE (you choose how long you want to pledge for) and to restyle something from your closet or the thrift shop at least once a week posting about it on the blog. You get ONE Get Out Of Jail Free card that you can use every two month just in case there is some awesome sale or some item you just can’t live without. It sounds like a lot of fun
