I Love Meeting Bloggers

I love meeting other bloggers. They meet in Bloglandia and follow

along the meandering path greeting each other like long lost friends.

It's like a small community where everyone knows each other

.and they've just been waiting for you stop by for a visit. You can stay a minute or park for a while. You are always welcome.

The best place to meet are at Blog Parties. Now in the real world busy folks might call this networking....which in my experience here in my little piece of Ohio seems to be a little pushy and for lack of a better word ... cliquey...similar to High School....ugh,,,shiver..shudder

But in Bloglandia it's like old fashioned pen-pals.........an old timey church or community social.......a quiet get-together of those with similar interests 

...or...a lively meeting of friendly folks with very different personalities and likes, 

but are open-minded, share opinions on everything from politics to foods...collections to decor and appreciate the differences, are inspired by them...and yes at times agree to disagree, but still respect each other's right's to be  individual. At least that's what I have found in blogging since 2006. 



I realize my Blog List is varied as are the parties I attend or host. I like an eclectic mix of friends. Some are crafty....some foodies....some literary types......some business minded....some just like to talk about anything. In the real world I may not have an opportunity to meet such an eclectic group. I find it invigorating, inspiring, and out and out plain fun. And where else, but Bloglandia can you meet someone from Alaska to the furthest reaches of Timbuktu and everywhere in between? 

For a list of Blog Parties I attend just go to my Weekly Blog Parties page HERE  If you'd like to attend parties I host, well, here we go

Rednesday Wednesday here on my blog every Wednesday

This party is open to all and you can link in items you sell, but I hope it is the body of a blog post about it with a link to the selling site. If it gets to be too cluttered with 'Ads' I'll have to rethink it.

It was a little chilly...in the lower 60's..... today, but not freezing. I still cannot wait for the upper 70 days and 50 something night....AHHHH  I found this and warmed me up me.

These are two pieces of artwork purchased by premiums at local Grocery Stores back in  the 60's. Doesn't it just make you smile?

Well, It's time to check out the other Rednesday party-goers.

I wonder what they have found?

Since this is an Easter Week Party I thought I'd  do a little 'baking' to share with you all...................................................

 Check out this video for Easter Egg Cakes

Nutter Butter Chicks

Ingredients:

Serves: 16Yield:
16
Easter ... Units: US | Metric
16 Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
12 ounces yellow candy melts or 12 ounces white chocolate candy melts, with
yellow food coloring (must be an oil-based coloring)
8 orange Tic Tac mints (beak)
black decorating gel (eyes) or icing (eyes)
wax paper
Directions:

1
Cut the Tic Tacs in half to form the chick's beak. Set aside.
2
Melt the candy coating as directed on the package. I use the microwave. If using white candy melts, add enough yellow food coloring to get a bright yellow tint.
3
Dip the Nutter Butter cookies in the melted candy coating, shake off the excess, then lay on the wax paper. Allow the coating to harden, about 10-20 minutes.
4
Pipe eyes on each chick. Add eyebrows or eye lashes if you like -- I think it gives them more personality.
5
Beak: Attach the beak using a bit of melted candy coating.
If you place in a basket, you can't forget to add cherry or cinnamon flavored jelly bean 'eggs' with all the other colors for Rednesday!

Well, before you go on to the other party-goers don't forget to grab your party recipes. Now, let's go see everyone.
