a trip through life
I have to tell you how much I love reading The Thoughts and Travels of Rachel Cotterill.
I am beyond excited to share Rachel and her amazing writing, storytelling, and photographs with you. I cannot quite remember when Rachel and I first met, but I have been enjoying her blog for a while now. She cooks, crochets, has amazing adventures, and shares a little segment of her life through her blog. I am kind of living vicariously through her.
***********
Just take a peek at these photos of the midnight sun. It looks peaceful and amazing...and I am ready to jump on a plane - I could use some peaceful right about now. Seriously, the glow just makes me feel re-energized. Rachel did an amazing job capturing the warmth and mystery of the midnight sun.
***********
If you prefer, take a look at Costwold Crazy and get introduced to the 37 year old tradition of Tetbury Woolsack Races - men, women, and children racing through town with heavy bags of wool. I personally am a sucker and a lover of these eccentric events that make towns and countries so unique.
***********
And, yes, I mentioned she cooks...I saw the recipe for truffles - very unique truffles - and have not had a chance to try it yet, but it is printed out and waiting for the right occasion - I am waiting because I think I may eat them all myself...I need visitors to share them with! I am not going to say anymore go check them out to see what makes them so unique!

paper bag LOVE
How to Create a Paper Bag Floor...no I am not joking!Look at this technique from Family Corner.
I am so excited to try it..maybe on a wall or even some furniture!
I begged for hardwood floors...my days as a blogger and, um, well, anything would come to an end if hubby cam home and saw me putting paper bags on top of the wood floors.

do I look like maude?
You remember when I said this last week, "If you write about s'mores and I see it, you pretty much guarantee that your post will tickle me pink. If only I could have s'mores and pizza all day and I would be a happy woman."Well, my Bloggy Bootcamp and real life buddy Jenn from Rook No. 17 has done it again!
She created a fudgy s'more crinkle cookie!
Look at all that ooey-goooey goodness!
She even created - or updated - the Golden Girls jingle for me {us!}.
{that is where the Maude - OK, Bea Arthur technically - part comes in. I grew up watching Maude with my Granny - so she is always Maude to me...and Jenn says I make that same face!}. Head over and check out the recipe!
Word Nerds!
I saw this in the newspaper yesterday - and thought it was marvelous. The article was written by Art Carey for The Philadelphia Inquirer. Anyway, the article is about two friends who formed TEAL - Typo Eradication Advancement Movement. They carry a typo correction kit of sharpies, crayons, markers, chalk, correction fluid, etc. and go around cities asking business owners if they can correct the incorrect grammar and punctuation on their signage.
I am actually appalled at the number of typos I have found on my blog recently! YIKES-O!

Here is a link to the article.
And they have a book!
