Pinterest Pretties - 03/14/12
It is a whopping 66 degrees outside and believe me, I have been dancing in the warm sunshine! Winter has been kind to Minnesota this year, temperature-wise (mostly to make up last year's nearly unbearable frigid though fantastically snowy weather). So, in honor of happy thoughts of summer days to... Continue reading

happy 2012!
I sure hope everyone had a lovely holiday. We did. We made a few batches of this caramel corn (thanks hillary, for mentioning it) and it's really, really good. I didn't use microwave popcorn, just made it with 1/2 cup unpopped kernels on the stove top. I have been reading and knitting quite...
