The contest for the loot is over and the winner is:

The Brown Bunny Collector!!

That’s her etsy name, I’m not sure if she has a blog or uses her real name. So, Brown Bunny Collector, if you do have a blog, let me know and I’ll link to you! Thank you all so much for purchasing tassels and garlands like there is no tomorrow! I continue to be surprised at how quickly everything sells! I will be shipping the last of the items that have been paid for tomorrow. Then, I’ll get working on the rest of those custom orders. It thrills me to report that I have made enough money to order my new computer!!!

In other news, I am at my sister’s house. Her friend in real life, Kendra stopped in and brought us a slew of her famous Macaroni and Cheese which happens to be my favorite food group. Let me tell you about Kendra. She cooks. She cooks good. She cooks good enough to teach cooking classes where people pay their hard earned money for the opportunity to come to her home and have her teach them how to cook.


I am now in love with Kendra. And her Mac Cheese. Oh, and it’s got squash in it too but you would never know. Want the recipe? I’m linking to her and she said that it should be up in the morning.

Yum. My boys loved it and I had three plates full. Now I’m gonna go have me some more. Then chocolate cake. That’s how us girls eat when we are together. Now, after you go and get Kendra’s recipe, you can fly on over to my sister’s blog and see a little sumpin’ sumpin’ that we made for her sideboard.
