My sister in law is super crafty...check out her blog at http://joyeverafter.squarespace.com/. Today...I'm trying to win the curry sauce :) Not sure if this will only be noticed by my two followers ;) but hopefully will be seen by others too. My favorite items in her Etsy shop are the Vintage Plate Clocks: http://www.etsy.com/shop/joyeverafter?page=1.

Watched this rock-u-mentary on Showtime...pretty good...loved seeing the different places in Canada they visited and seeing Jack hug Meg when she cried.
My fave of theirs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RB2BvvByUo) has a contender (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiZ68ifob0g).
