I Love My Tapes & Giveaway Winner

Hi!

I Love My Tapes and I have a card share for you today over on their blog using a couple of my favorite styles. I hope you have a few moments to take a look.

Here's just a little peek. Like?

I also have a winner to announce for yesterday's Bella Blvd. goodies giveaway. Congratulations to Donna of Scissors, Stamps and Scrapbooks!

Looks like we're in for another warm December day, although it might rain too. If not, I'm going on another walk! It's been lovely!

Have a super day and thanks for visiting!

Valentine's Day in December? Giveaway!

Good day!

I'm in heaven! The calendar says December, but the temperatures are springlike at 70+ degrees! I went on a long walk yesterday and plan to do the same today before the cold returns tomorrow. So, while we're enjoying a little bit of  "spring" here in North Carolina, I'll share a colorful Valentine I made a while back using the Bella Blvd. Sunshine and Happiness collection.

I also used a few of Bella's Designer Tape styles and High Five Alphas.

So what's the weather like in your corner of the world? Let me know where you are and the forecast and I'll draw a name from the comments to win these Bella Blvd. goodies.

Winner will be drawn and announced on tomorrow's post. Good luck and have a great day!

Spiced Applesauce Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

Hello!

Did you have an enjoyable weekend? Other than running a few errands and taking Christopher out for sushi Saturday night, we relaxed. My kind of weekend! I'm a home body and there's just no place like home-sweet-home!

Most weekends I like to spend a bit of time in the kitchen cooking and baking. This weekend I tried a new recipe, this Spiced Applesauce Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting by Stephanie Cooks, found on Pinterest just last week. I knew it would be a winner and it was!

I made cupcakes instead of cake. I like the individual servings. And I like to frost them right before serving so they can be warmed a little first. Ahhh....warm, moist cake topped with cool cream cheese frosting. Life is good and sweet!

Enjoy your day!

Oreo

The wait is over write. click. scrapbook. fans....it's the first of the month and the new December gallery is live and loaded with scrapbook pages about favorite photos from the team. My favorite kind of photos are the everyday kind that provide a glimpse into our everyday lives.

Do you  recognize this collection? It's by Pebbles, called Walnut Grove. Swoooooooon! :)

Being the first of December also means that this little fluff ball has been with us a month now. On November 1st he was found cold, hungry and dehydrated under our deck. He was just about two pounds. During this past month he's doubled his weight, loves to play with Christopher's Legos, boss the older cats, climb the Christmas tree and has stolen our hearts!

Here's a couple favorite photos of our sweet little (growing) Oreo.

Hope you have a great holiday weekend! Thanks for visiting! :)
