| SHF : Asian Sweet Invasion Round-up |
Thanks to all who have sent me their entries for Sugar High Friday! I had a really great time hosting & having a look at all your wonderful creations! Everyone was so inventive and a few actually surprised me by using ingredients such as Pandan leaves, which are scarce outside Asia! All the photos are beautiful, and many of the entries, Lorraine's for example, made me go "awwww!".
My friend Stef and I actually made some Indian inspired macarons for SHF, but as the weather was bad, I did not photograph them. When I looked in the fridge the next day, hoping to grab some and take a quick photo, I was horrified to find out that I couldn't find one in sight! To make things worst, I was caught up in baking for Dempsey House and didn't have the time to make anymore! I guess I will just have to include it in the entries without a photograph!
Here are all the fabulous entries I received. Is it just me, or do I spot a green theme?

| Blogging by Mail |
The Happy Sorceress, Stephanie, held the annual Blogging by Mail event earlier this year. Naturally, being a blog event junkie, I signed up.
I sent my parcel off to April of Abby Sweets, and received my very own from Dayna of Vegan Visitor
When I opened my package, I was put to shame when I thought back on how I had only sent 3 items to dear April. Dayna sent me a truck load of goodies, including some Canadian Chocolate chips, Alfalfa honey, those beautiful cookie cutters you see in the photo above, a loofah, bath crystals, Cheese crackers (which my sister devoured), as well as a myriad of tiny little goodies scattered inside the box.
Thanks a bunch, Dayna. Just to let you know, I've already used those glorious chocolate chips up!
