PLAYING FAVORITES

 It's been dark grey and rainy for the past few days, and it's been hard to get out of a cranky mood.

I figured today I'd share some of my favorite links in the good old blogland lately!

If you don't already, go check these ladies out:

SRIRACHA POPCORN RECIPE from Christin at With a C.H. : Holy crap this looks amazing and I need to make this asap. Genius.

GOLD BAMBOO from Emily at Recently: I'm convinced every inch of her house is pure perfection. Oh. My. Goodness. 

CHERRY BLOOM RECIPE from Emily at Blue Dog Belle : Makes me with I was still living in Richmond so I could go drink these with her! Yum!

BEESLY'S NEED READ GREED from Ashley over at One Fine Day: Ashley runs this awesome series (which I've even been a part of!) and yesterday did it from the perspective of her gigantic dog. It was kiiiind of hilarious. 

CHOCOLATE OMBRE CAKE HOW TO from Erica at Fashion Meets Food: Talk about making bakery-style cakes! Insane!

Now it's YOUR turn!

THE EVERYDAY SERIES

Yo, people.

In case you missed it, yesterday I was over on:

as a part of Eileen's:

I'm pretty excited about it, not only because I dig Eileen & her blog....but also because a lot of really impressive bloggers have been featured during the series. I'm in pretty nice company, people. 

Check it out to learn a little about yours truly!

appreciation.

** disclaimer: i don't feel like capitalizing anything today. past english teachers (&mom), i apologize. **

a while back i took a stab at abstract art. i was flattered by all the sweet comments people left - both short and long ones about my "art". to those great people who take the time to share your thoughts; THANK YOU! you all just make my day.
