a Beautiful Home
this home is absolutely beautiful!! i am loving the eggshell color through out the house. i discovered these lovely images while visiting The House of Turquoise blog. the owner of the home is Desiree Ashworth from the lovely Decor de Provence blog ( a very lovely blog). i think she did a fabulous job decorating her home, it is absolutely beautiful! i love the stone on the outside of the home too. the house looks like a French retreat. look at that lovely kitchen, just beautiful! the photography was done by Ashlee Raubach. i think she did a beautiful job capturing this amazing home. make sure to visit all three of these amazing blogs. enjoy!

i LOVE this beautiful Valentine dessert bar done by the amazingly talented Amy Atlas. the pink and gray is so pretty! the theme of the dessert bar is "Love is The Key to My Heart", perfect! i love the heart decorated cookies and the key cupcakes. the pink ruffled cake looks just like the famous Martha Stewart ruffle cake. i also love the beautiful pink and gray Macaroon Tower. looks just as good as the famous Laduree towers. great idea's for a Valentine's Day party.

Girls Allowed
i love this photo shoot because it has so many things i love. lace, ruffles, color, tulle, layers, textures and of course jewels. i remember back in the day, i would always be in my mother's or grand mother's jewels, clothes and shoes. i loved dressing up and pretending. fashions in my blood! she reminds me of that little girl.

i am loving this adorable headband i found over at the fabulous Fashion! What's Not to Love blog. i really like how they use old beautiful vintage jewels to create these beautiful pieces. a few post back i posted about this beautiful brooche bouquets. this headband really looks close to it. i love the idea of using something old to create something new. i'm on a hunt for old beautiful jewelry pieces and old brooche's. i think these are darling!
also check out the new Lover's Spring 2010 line. i'm loving the looks!
A big THANK YOU to Tracey, Gail, and Typhanie for these awards,
Thank You ladies for thinking about me, how sweet are you! i truly do appreciate these two lovely awards. i pass these two awards to all bloggers because so many of you are truly an inspiration to me. it would be too hard for me to choose just a few. So i pass these on to everyone. i have to list Ten things that make me happy. here goes:
1. Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, the number one thing that makes me happy is my relationship with Jesus Christ. You have to go there first to experience and understand what I'm talking about. Literally if it were not for God I don't know where I would be. So having God in my life truly makes me happy!!!!
2. my family makes me happy. Seeing my son go after his dreams with determination and a humble heart, makes me happy. as a single mother, seeing him accomplish things i did not accomplish makes me happy. through the grace of God this reassures me that I did a good job.
3. helping others makes me happy. when someone is in need and i can give to them truly makes my heart happy. i LOVE giving and helping others. rather it be good advice, food, clothing, helping hand, prayer, time or friendship etc. i just enjoy it. it all represents LOVE to me.
4. being kind and considerate makes me happy. treating people with respect and loving them right where they are makes me happy. i think my struggles really taught me a lot about being humble and treating people with respect. you must always remember that you can learn something from anybody. i'm like a sponge, i try to soak up as much positive information as i can to take with me through my life and pass it on to others.
5. Cooking makes me happy! i LOVE cooking. getting ingredients and mixing them all together to create something so delicious makes me happy. sharing food with others makes me happy. when people genuinely love my food, it makes me happy!
6. decorating makes me happy!! my passion is decorating. it just comes natural and i truly believe that it is a gift from God. i love decorating!
7. Fashion makes me happy! i love fashion! can't live without it. fashion is more than just the name brands and who did it. it's about passion and creativity and the time that goes into these amazing pieces. from shoes, bags,accessories, gowns, intimate wear, fashion magazines,etc., i'm always fascinated with the lines, materials, and structure of the pieces. when i see fashion i see art because that's what it is.
8. Trees make me happy! i truly appreciate all trees. they fascinate me. i hate to see Christmas trees just sitting on the side of the sidewalk with no nourishment. drives me nuts! when i'm traveling, i just enjoy seeing all the beautiful trees.
9. i can't begin to tell you how CHOCOLATE makes me happy. oh my word, i am a true chocoholic. anything chocolate as long as it's of good quality, i'm good. one of my favorite book's as a child was "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory", my teacher would read a chapter as she would pass out these little chocolate bars, so when Charlie took a nibble, we did too. i swear, i can't watch that movie without a chocolate bar. but chocolate is one of my passions. i just feel great eating it. try eating it while reading a book, it's fabulous. just make sure you don't get any on the pages.
10. Art makes me happy! all art makes me happy! creativity makes me happy! art keeps me motivated, balanced and focus. it's therapeutic for me. i enjoy painting and creating beautiful things.
11. and last but not least BELIEVING makes me happy!!! believing in what others may say is unrealistic makes me happy. Go for it and don't stop!

I'm Back!!!
Hello every one!!!! Boy have I missed all of you!! It's good to be back. I'm refreshed and ready to go. A lot has happened since i've been on break. One is the tragedy of the earth quake in Haiti. My prayers go out to Haiti and all the victims and family members of those who lost love ones due to this tragedy. I pray to God that He will keep you and bless you to recover. God Bless Haiti!
I also am excited because I got back in contact with some of my relatives. Got a lot of catching up to do, but I'm really happy because they're really good people. So I'm excited about that. Now, I have to check up on all of your lovely blogs and the post I've missed. You never know how fun and relaxing blogging is until you step away from it awhile. I really did miss posting and reading up on all of your blogs.
I want to say thank you to all of those who left me messages during my absence. You guys are too sweet. I missed you too!!!

i have about 6 different sets of Rosanna inc.'s beautiful tableware. Here is some of her new collections that will become available some time in February. i just love the new cake set and those adorable cupcake stands. perfect for an all girl get together or tea party.all images are from Rosanna Inc.
great cookbook ideas for the sweet tooth lover and cookbook collector in your life. I actually have the last cookbook. i have to say, if you love chocolate, this is the one for you. the images alone in the cookbook is breath taking. the first three are definitely on my to get list. do any of you have any of these cookbooks? let me know how what you think.
i almost fell out of my seat when i discovered these lovely images over at the Paris Events blog. Macarons, oh how i love macarons! the colors really caught my attention. i would love to celebrate my birthday this way. so pretty. all images are from the Paris Events blog.
