I just found a really fun site! It is called Paper Back Swap (but they do hardbacks and audio books too). If you look on the right and scroll down you will see a blue banner there that you can click to learn all about it yourself. Esentially you list 10 books that you are willing to part with, and you get two free credits to start you out and then every time someone “purchases” one of your books you receive another credit to “buy” a book. You have to ship your books out that are “for sale” obviously, and then when you “buy” books the person “selling” them ships them to you for free. This would be a great way to pick up some or swap out some cookbooks too!
Have fun!
Okay, so I admit… I took a few (yes, not just one) cake decorating classes awhile back when I first got married. I thought it would be such a fun hobby. Well… Needless to say I think I sold all my supplies in a garage sale as I failed miserably when it came to my skills.
However, I just read a review at www.amomsreview.com about these really cool new cake kits that actually look do-able! The best part is they are giving away 10 kits free!

Good Luck!

I know some of you are thinking what the heck is she talking about? Well, there is an application called Twitter that allows you to update what you are currently doing as well as keep track of what your friends/family are doing. It is just simple one liners that quickly gives an update. I have had friends asking me for almost a year to join and I just didn’t bite the bullet. Finally I gave in.
Anyway, if you scroll down a bit, on the right you will see a burgandy box that says “what am I doing”. That is my twitter box. You can keep even more up to date on my day to day crazy life if you feel so inclined. And… if you already have a Twitter account (or want to open one - it is free) you can follow me on there as well (and I can in turn follow you!). See the little link on the bottom of my twitter box to head to the site.
Fun times! We’ll see how good I do at keeping it up to date.
