It’s a fantastic salsa bowl designed by Michael and Tom of Salsabol.

Isn't that a brilliant design? It's curved at the top to help push the salsa onto your tortilla chip, so it doesn't fall off as you leave the bowl... genius! Plus, it comes in any colour you want, as long as it's yellow. Who doesn't love sunny yellow?? I love yellow, so it's all good.

Check them out on their website, and you can also find them on Facebook.

Thanks again, JennyMac, Michael and Tom! You made my day!

Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Welcome to “Sensational Haiku Wednesday!”

Click here for info and background on this weekly event!

The basics:

Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)

This week’s theme is: Challenge!

Been a great first year!
To superlative haiku;
Raise a glass, friends… Cheers!

---

It’s Challenge Day, and our first Haiku-versary!

The Challenge for our Haiku-versary is to bring in the most new Haiku-ers (“new” meaning never participated here before, and ideally people who will join us and stick around!). Please have your new Haiku-er identify themselves as coming from you in the comments, and use the proper graphic and link (below) on their blog. The winner* of our challenge will get their choice of a $25 gift card to Starbucks, Tim Hortons, or iTunes, and be announced with next week’s haiku!

Good luck, Haiku-ers!

* standard legal mumbo-jumbo… void where prohibited by law (we’ll figure something else out in this event). To be eligible for this challenge, referred new haiku-ers must have a “real” blog, in existence for at least 6 weeks prior to this challenge, be new to this meme, yadda yadda yadda. Common sense stuff. Ask me if you’re not sure :) This haiku Challenge ends at 11:59pm EDT (Toronto/New York/my time) June 23, 2010.

Next week’s theme: Travel

Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the Hooked on Haiku List

To participate in this week’s event, please use the following code in your post on your own blog (if you don’t have a blog, post your Haiku as a comment):

Silly Haiku Wednesday

Welcome to “Silly Haiku Wednesday!”

Click here for info and background on this weekly event!

The basics:

Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)

This week’s theme is: Freestyle – your choice of content.

My silly submission for this week:

My 100th Post…
And the winner is… Annie!
Congratulations!

Randomly chosen by Wee One, I might add. I put the names in a hat, and let her choose.

I’ll contact you for your mailing address shortly, Annie!

What did she win, you ask?! I’ll tell you later…! Seriously? We were all set to launch ShaMoo’s website today, but we’ve had a technical glitch that will put it off for a few days longer. I know… I know…

Next week’s theme: Education

Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the “Hooked on Haiku List“

To participate in this week’s event, please use the following code in your post on your own blog (if you don’t have a blog, post your Haiku as a comment):

I thought long and hard about what to do for my 100th post, but short of coming up with a list of 100 things about me you never wanted to know… I figured maybe I’d have a giveaway instead!

What is my giveaway, you ask? Well, ShaMoo will be launching her new business in a matter of days, and what could be better than sending some lucky winner a… oh wait, it’s a secret!

So what we have here, folks, is a SECRET GIVEAWAY!

Leave me a message (subscribe to my RSS feed, you know, if you want… I’d sure like to know if you are) on this post over the next 3 days, and on Silly Haiku Wednesday, I’ll choose a random comment from this post, and announce the winner here as a Haiku.

I should probably tell ShaMoo that I’m doing this. Hrm. Oh well, she’ll find out! :)

The past few months have been such a pleasure, getting to know so many new bloggy friends. My Silly Haiku Wednesday meme has brought me a lot of joy, and inspired dozens of wonderful poems. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Oh, I have unrelated-yet-still-very-exciting stuff happening tomorrow too! Hope you come back for the big unveiling!
