yar......

I have a dear old friend who is like a second grandfather to me in England. He happens to also be a pastor and I want to send him a small gift to cheer him up cause he just lost his wife. Any ideas?

(*note* to all my eco-friendly friends: I am aware that some of you are against fur, and I respect that, but I am a grown woman and I will use fur if I dang well feel like it.)

I have 4 rabbit pelts, 3 black, one white.....was going to craft for a renaissance festival...but I lost interest in going to those and I no longer attend faires. One of the black pelts is slightly cut up (tip: dont just cut fur with scizors unless you throw a tarp down, the hair goes everywhere!)

Any ideas on what to make?

It is a little late for july 4th but I love this country all year round. Whether you love, hate, or tolerate the president...whether or not you agree with everything that goes on here, this is OUR country and we should take pride in it and/or try to help make it better......so who wants to do a swap showcasing our love of The USA?

I am a bit surprised that no one has suggested this...but it would be cool to do...and just in time for the premeir of Dead Man's Chest! I just got an autographed script of the first POTC movie on ebay!! I am very happy.....

so does anyone want to do a swap based on the Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom-y goodness that is Pirates of the Carribean?

I am pre-menstrual, and I was craving chocolate, so I decided to make a chocolate cake...but *gasp* we didnt have any coco or sugar.........so being the clever wench that I am, I substututed 1 and 1/2 cup of nesquick, which covered ther sugar and coco thing. Here is the recepie:

3 eggs
2 cups flour
1 and 1/2 cup nesquick
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 stick of butter or margarine
1 and 1/2 cup of milk
2 tablespoons vanilla


Combine dry ingredients in large mixing bowl, in a separate bowl, combine eggs (beaten), butter/margarine and vanilla. Then combine both sets of ingredeints gradually, making sure to blend evenly. Add milk and mix well. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and pour cake batter into a bundt pan. Bake for  30 minutes or till you think cake is ready. Drizzle chocolate frosting over it while cake is still warm to keep it  moist. Enjoy!
