By her special request, I revisited Miss Mary Mack's favorite Springy Paper Thingie from years gone by.
But, this time, I used the feathers I rescued from under Me Darlin' Mither's canary's cage.
Maybe this little bookmark will cheer up a college textbook or a dreary study hour.
That's asking a lot of a little chick, though.

I also wanted you to know about these.
They look like little petits fours, and are my favorites of all the spring baking I did with Able Baker Dana this week.
And they are easy-peasy to make.
1. Bake your cupcakes in a mini-muffin pan and let cool.
2. Using one color at at time, heat your icing in a small bowl in the microwave for about 8 seconds...until it's the consistency of heavy cream.
3. Dip the top of the cupcakes in the icing until covered and gently shake off excess.
4. Turn right side up, let the icing set, and decorate using a pastry bag with a fine tip...or just put your white icing in a small ziploc bag and just snip off a little of one corner.
You can make them with homemade cake and icing, which is what Naomi does.
Or you can make them with a cake mix and canned icing, which is what Gwen does.
That's how Gwen gets lots more "fun time" than Naomi.
But, hey, you get to decide for yourself.
