Time For More Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

Hello friends....
(Before we begin, I want to let you know right up front that even though there isn't a recipe in this post, you really might want to make sure and read it all the way through... just sayin')

Since the time changed over just few hours ago here on the East Coast, I figured it would be a perfect time to post about some changes going on around here as well.

Depending on when it is that you're reading this, then you likely just arrived on a very different looking blog and you probably thought/did one of the following:

1) Knew right away that I'd been bitten by the old "blog re-design bug" and never had any doubt that you were in the right place.

2) Intended to come by and see what I was up to and somehow accidentally ended up on the wrong blog but figured what the heck... why not stick around to see if there's anything interesting here.

3) Never really noticed the old graphics and/or layout and just went straight to the side bar to look for a favorite recipe.  OR,

4) Have never been here before and just assumed that this is what the blog has always looked like.

I Made A Blog Video!

A video? Hmmmm. Why would Mary make a video?

Well, one night last week, I was wide awake at 3am and I started thinking (which can be rather dangerous, in my case. lol) that in this age of technology and social media, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to step outside of my comfort zone and try doing something different to showcase and maybe draw some new readers to the blog.

It isn't exactly what I'd call professional, but it's had 35 views, as of this morning (not that I'm keeping track, mind you) and one comment from a very nice YouTube makeup/beauty vlogger named Patti, whose channel I'm subscribed to. At this point, it's hard to tell by my stats whether I'm getting any visits from it, but even if it doesn't draw scads of people, it was actually pretty fun to put together and it helped me learn some new computer skills. As I always say, that's a win/win!

Greek Chicken Salad and My First Guest Post!

Good Sunday morning, friends...

There's a whole lot of crazy in my world at the moment, but I wanted to jot off a quick note to let you know that I'm doing a guest post over at Passionately Artistic! (A first for me, btw) It's a fantastic blog, full of Cuttlebug craft ideas, delicious recipes and great tutorials!

Stop by and say hello to Maggie and the team and check out my Greek Chicken Salad!

I'm linking up with the fabulous parties listed in my sidebar --->

Wow!  Just found out that this salad was featured at the All Star Block Party, co-hosted by the lovely Shasta at In The Old Road!
