Another thing to think about: While storing a quilt the areas where you crease it to fold can cause damage. Rather than folding and folding into a smaller size. Fold it once or twice and then roll it up. Also, you should refold it a different way every 6 months or so, again to prevent this extra ware where it is creased.

I made this cake this weekend, and it was delicious. I was a bit mortified however when I added the molasses to the icing and it turned brown. In hindsight, DUH, but I was expecting it to look like the photo here. The icing recipe listed is definitely NOT what is photographed here. Also, I'm a huge molasses fan, but I wish that I had left it and the nutmeg out of the icing. I also made a crunchy candied coconut and carrot topping. Check it out here:

Ditto a previous comment. Look for BFA and MFA programs in your area and check out their graduation thesis shows! Invest in an emerging artist --- you can find something amazing to love for ever without breaking the bank.

just bought a room and board sleeper sofa after seriously considering the blue dot one night stand. soooooooooo glad we went with the room and board... the air/coil combo matresses are unbelievably comfortable!!

Just scored a 'clearance' room and board sleeper on their website for less than $1000. It was only there because the color was discontinued --- its absolutely perfect! Don't forget to check there from time to time if you're shopping for one!
