I feel that way and just let the post sit for a while in the hopes that inspiration will strike. Sometimes we just cook average stuff that really isn't anything new, you know? Your treats are always gorgeous and I love reading what you have to say. Looks like Nancy picked a winner for all of you.<br /><br />p.s. Sorry for not visiting sooner, but I ADORE your blog design.
