BONUS ONCE UPON A TIME CROSS STITCH PATTERN:

http://thestitcherati.com/crafts/cross-stitch/once-upon-a-time-cross-stitch-bookmark/#.VMKxXyxDRgh - Once Upon a Time Cross Stitched Bookmark - "I know reading a book on an iPad or Kindle is in vogue right now, but call me old-fashioned – I like to read a book in print. I love to hear the creak when I first crack open a good hardbound book and smell the ink from the pages. What better way to savor the experience than to cross-stitch your own bookmark?... For this bookmark, instead of buying a pre-made bookmark from the craft store, I used 18-count aida fabric and for the floss — 3 strands for the type and 1 strand for all of the back stitching. To cover the stitches in the back, I cut out a strip of felt (2” x 6-3/4”) and stitched it to the front with an embroidery needle, using half stitches. Finished size, including fringe is 2-3/4” wide x 7-1/2” long." - Technically, I was unable to locate the actual chart for this, but if you're an experienced cross-stitcher, you can chart it yourself. It was just too special not to share with y'all!

BONUS ONCE UPON A TIME RECIPES:

http://www.sheknows.com/food-and-recipes/articles/845247/once-upon-a-time-enchantingly-inspired-recipes - Claire Gallam’s Once Upon A Time: Enchantingly Inspired Recipes - “When I was a little girl, I would close my eyes and wish that the fairy tales my mother told me before bed would come true. I'd wish that a prince on a giant white stallion would rescue me from my second floor bedroom and whisk me away into a magical forest. Although I've grown up some, the idea of living in a modern day fairy tale, like Emma Swan in ABC's Once Upon a Time, is very enticing. Since the probability of me being rescued from corporate America by a tall, dark and handsome prince is quite low, I'll create my own wonderland with these fairy tale foods!”
