A scavenger hunt

It was frigid on Saturday with just a wee bit of snow, but nothing like it’s suppose to get in the next few days. Rats-I still have to go to the dentist on Tuesday to get my crown fitted.I’ve been occupying my ‘free time’ this weekend with trying some of the paper collaging techniques I’ve been admiring on the artsy blogs I’ve been visiting. I made something today that I can’t share until the recipient gets it. I had so much fun making it. I did use some new papers that I found at Big Lots on Friday. Gotta love a variety of pretty scraps in a sack for 80¢! My pal on tribe is into paper crafting and I sent her a package of paper goodies. A few other pals will eventually get some ‘stuff’ too. I do love sending packages! So the Scavenger hunt is all taken care of-I have the seven things that I will send my bloggy partner.Here’s what they are and I won’t say exactly what they are until my partner gets the package:

1-a local newspaper

2-seeds or a plant

3-a photo of my yard facing east (I actually had one from last spring) and in a frame

4-a recipe with 3 eggs

5-a spoon

6-something yellow or with yellow in it

7-something 3″ but no bigger than 8″.

Fun! I’m putting the things together in such a way to make them ‘interconnect’. You’ll understand when you see a photo-promise!

Keep my pal P in your thoughts, she lost her estranged dad on Friday. My mom has a dreadful cold. I wish she would at least take vitamins to boost herself up. Bri’s dad had a tooth extraction last Monday which left him feverish and not feeling well. My uncle continues to rest in the nursing home after having his hip surgery going on 3 weeks ago. He gets to see his wife more ofen as she’s in the same facility!

I’m making Rachael Ray’s winter chicken stew for dinner tonight. The topping-Italian parsley, toasted pine nuts and grated lemon peel. You give the stew a splash of lemon juice when you serve it. It was really tasty! Rachael Ray’s Chicken Winter Stew

I may do the package bread mix for sourdough to go with it. We’ve been eating a lot of yeasty stuff-I went through Dunkin’ Donuts yesterday. Didn’t break any rules-just wanted a few donuts which I haven’t had in ages. I pretend I live in Alaska where it’s okay to pack on a few pounds in the winter for warmth. Seems the right thing to do in this kind of weather. 😉

Ann-I did change the font and color and we have the same template! The print is a little small-this is a test post.

  2. Yep, I think I’m an honorary Alaskan too! Actually, I think I’ve lived in Alaska for many many years to get to where I am today ROFL.

    With the fonts, did you just change the font details in the one post? If so, I think that’s easy enough to do in the ‘code’ area, as I’ve changed the colours in my ‘pages’ that way, I just can’t be bothered doing it with each one – but what I really want to do is to change the template itself so it is automatically set at that font style and size etc for every new post. If you’ve been able to do that I’d love to know how! 😀

  3. I have to start shopping to get the goodies for my Scavenger Hunt partner…should be fun:-) Hope your mom recovers from her cold soon…I’ve had mine over a week now and I’m just starting to feel better but some say it can last up to 3 weeks! Hugs xox
