Stephanie (scarson) has a challenge for you! 11/25 challenge

I'll let Stephanie direct this one. She wrote:

"Here is my challenge for Sunday. It was a little harder than I expected but I think that it has lots of potential for use in future layouts. I found it on Ikea Goddess' blog, http://ikeagoddess.blogspot.com/2007/05/ribbon-wrap-tutorial.html.

She explains how to wrap ribbon around an object. I think after working through it I should have wrapped the ribbon around the entire frame instead of just one side but...I'll have to do that with the next layout. :-)

My example:

On behalf of Stephanie, have a wonderful time learning. And be kind to yourself as you come face to face with your learning curve. I've learned to deal with mine which is oh-so-steep-and-vicious!!!

Fun Quiz! What Part of Thanksgiving Are You?

This is a fun little quiz I saw from the Sweet Shoppe Blog - have fun with it! Click on the blue link below.

My result:

You Are The Stuffing

You're complicated and complex, yet all your pieces fit together.
People miss you if you're gone - but they're not sure why.

New Look

I've been tinkering with the blog's layout, and even went bonkers and made a blog banner. I'm still astonished with all the work it takes to make a blog so cool and "bloggy". (Isn't that a great word? This is where A.P. English teachers from all walks of life scream in unison)

I don't know how to make it prettier beyond this, because I don't know anything about HTML. I'm sure my husband will love it if I spend extra hours pouring over the internet so that I can become an expert web designer. (Insert husband rolling his eyes right here)

So enjoy! And have a wonderful day. It is 10:45am, and 23 degrees Fahrenheit. Brrr.

Does that triple frame look familiar, perhaps hearkening back to an assignment Jessica handed out? Hmmm. :)

Another great designer to add to my list!

I just love Jackie Eckles' items at Little Dreamer Designs! This one I'm eyeing for my next purchase: http://www.littledreamerdesigns.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=988

By the way, could you tell me how to make really good dinner rolls? I just made some, and they're good, but not light and fluffy enough. Thanks in advance!

Keep the amazing work rolling in!!!!!
