im on a roll.

since im committed to being a 'better blogger' i thought i might go ahead and add another post. two days in a row- im on a roll! :) today i wanted to share some of the pages i enjoy perusing while wasting my life away online.... so far, ive managed to find at least a few worth mentioning that i kinda love. i hope you guys enjoy as well...

the first is called 'just a pinch' and it's a site dedicated to people like myself who love to find new, fun things to cook (or in my case, bake). i can assure you that LOTS of my precious time has been wasted on this site, but not for nothing! ive found several great recipes here AND if you become a member of their little club and build a profile, they will send you free coupons each week for featured items. and i dont know about you, but i like free!
SO without further ado- here is the link... let me know what you think and if you find anything worth trying.

next, i found this awesome couple who have this awesome website. of course they use their site for blogging, but they also do all kinds of other fun things: share recipes, electronic scrapbooking, etc. don't ask me how in the world i stumbled across them, but they are really fun to follow. the main reason i wanted to share their site is because the wife comes up with all these awesome fonts you can use to make your blog personalized. im guessing you could use the fonts for more than just your blog, but that's up to you to decide. check them out and let me know what you think- all you have to do is click on their 'free fonts' tab and if you're anything like me, you're heart will immediately go "pitter patter." yes, friends ive said it... fun fonts make me happy. :) i hope to see some of these fun fonts integrated into some of your sites soon!

and of course... how could i sleep with myself at night if i didn't mention the beloved martha stewart website? once again- i can assure you that countless hours of my time have been spent browsing the site, getting all kinds of great craft ideas, cooking ideas, table setting ideas, etc. here's the thing about martha- i get that some of you may think she's just a sham. she got in trouble, went to prison, whatever. say what you will, but im pretty sure no one can argue with the fact that this woman is nothing shy of creative genious! no lie. what i love about her site and even her magazines is that she doesn't just give you the idea, she shows you how to do the project! she shares all kinds of useful hints and tools about how to do her crafts, and gives you a step by step guide for each thing. i love that! so many times, i find myself fingering through a magazine, or surfing through sites to get ideas and then it's up to me to figure out how to make that idea come to life. but not when ive got martha on my side! if you like crafting, or cooking or even want to learn how to knit- pay her a visit! it's no wonder she's made millions because she really goes the extra mile and i love that.
