So, I've been trying lots of new recipes from Pinterest (I try to do one new recipe a week) over the past couple of months, and I wanted to share some of my favorites here.

I'm working on finding and uploading some new (and, if I'm honest, rather disturbing) icons, I'm updating my user info, and I've tentatively changed my layout. It's not perfect, but it will do, and I'm not well-versed in the creation of LJ layouts, so I'm definitely not about to make my own. I've also been ( Read more... )
