Do you like Giveaways?

Because I sure do! Have I ever won a giveaway? No, but I still love them. The fact that I could win something is still cool. Well today is your lucky day you good ol' bloggers you! I am giving away one of my handmade notebooks! There is no special reason why I am doing this; it's just because I really like you! This exact notebook could be yours!







So you probably want to know the rules on how to win this book, right? It's quite easy:
1. Tell me one thing you are excited to do this Summer since I just love Summer so much.
2. Post by Friday, March 5th and I will randomly pick a winner Saturday the 6th.

The other requirement is that you have to live within the U.S. Sorry to any of you foreigners; I cannot afford to ship that far away unfortunately.

I cannot wait to hear your exciting plans for the Summer! (they better be good ones :))

Chocolate Festival in Review

Here it is everyone! I know it's about time I put pictures up, right? I have been super busy this past week and when I have free time that's considered sleeping time unfortunately. Well the Chocolate Festival was a blast! Not much chocolate at the venders but there were the FAMOUS chocolate covered raspberries. 'nough said. Here are a few snapshots covering the majority of what we were selling. My sisters (and mom) sure did a wonderful job. The talented Ashlee blew me away! Her stuff was unbelievable! What a talented girl she is too. Oh and yes, we have adopted her. :)

Here we are! We were able to get a photo of the three of us together.

Here are Ashlee's outstanding flowers for your hair, purse, coat, or what other creative place you can think of to put them.

The cute skirts Ashlee sewed up for little girls. If you notice, they have cute clips that match the skirts.

The amazing brownie pops my dear mother made. yummm! I was lucky to have one or two... or maybe even three. I lost count.

Some valentine cards I made.

Boxes, blocks, and plaques for the baby's room.

One of the sneak peaks revealed right here. The personalized wipe cases. It's not for the baby, it's for the mom. :)

And of course, Ashlee and me having a blast at our booth.

Thanks again for all those who came and checked out our booth. It was great to meet you or to catch up with you. I hope to see you soon. Maybe Raspberry Days? You never know.

Love,

Squeezable lovin'

Before I post pictures of the Chocolate Festival finally, I have to show you what brings happiness into my life:

Sweet baby Jack:

Precious little Halee:

Don't forget I love Mckenna too, but look how lovable and snuggly these sweethearts are.

Be mine+hugs+you+me+kisses

Oh the joys of Valentine's Day. Here are some cards I made for such a lovely holiday. Don't be surprised if you see them at the chocolate festival on Saturday.










There is one more thing that I won't be showing a sneak peak of for the Chocolate Festival unfortunately. You will have to come see for yourself on Saturday. It's worth it. Believe me. You will be glad you came. If you won't be able to make it, contact me and I will be more than happy to make one for you. (I will do a post soon after to let you know what I'm talking about, so maybe you better come and see for yourself.)

I Heart Cupcakes

Yes I do, and since I do so much I made 3 batches last night. A total of 71 cupcakes. I brought them into work today because I love my co-workers and I know that they would appreciate them the most. Richard helped me set up this cute scene for some of my cupcakes to share with you. Happy Valentine's Week.



And here is another sneak peak of cuteness that will be at the chocolate festival on Saturday.

Sneak Peak #3

Check out how cute these cute little boxes are. Fill them with anything. They even fit CD cases perfectly! Personalize them by changing the color of the ribbon.





It's getting closer to the big event! Just a reminder to mark it on your calendars if you haven't already.

21

21 is a big year I would have to say. I thought instead of doing a list of things I want to do when I'm 21 I would tell you a little bit about who I am as I turn another year older.

I like to do these things most:
-do anything that's outside (in the summer that is)
-be with friends
-make things (ex. food and crafts)
-be with family
-shopping for anything that's cool

and these things the least:
-dishes
-homework

I wish I had these things less often:
-zits
-candy/sweets
-bad outfit award

and these things more:
-cute outfit award
-walks
-running
-write meaningful letters to loved ones

I see myself as:
-impatient
-uptight
-laughable a lot of the time
-goofy

How my mom sees me:
-creative
-bubbly
-spritual

How my dad sees me:
-spontaneous
-crafty
-intuitive

Things that I am looking forward to the most this year:
-SUMMER no question about that.
-My best friend's wedding
-My best friend who gets off his mission the end of July (yes I can have more than one best friend)
-getting to know myself with each day.
-Working on the development of the Three Sisters business with my sisters and my mom of course.

What about you? What are you most looking forward to this year?

On a happier note

here is a sneak peak of some yummy goodies that we will be selling at the chocolate festival. I can't hide what these are from you because I want you to know what you will be missing out on if you don't come. These are D-lish brownie pops dipped in melted chocolate and sprinkled with goodness. I am definitely going to make my mom save me at least one (or bring one to me when you come tomorrow to visit me)


Stay tuned tomorrow for another sneak peak. You won't want to miss this one for sure!
