January Candy Winner

I was sitting at my kitchen table this morning, half asleep and trying to wake up. I sat there sipping coffee, thinking about some beautiful flowers I saw the day before at a local craft store. Not really sure how I would use them I left them on the shelf but added them to my someday wishlist. So as a new day rolled around I was still thinking about these little pretties and wishing I would have just got them for my stash.

And that's when it dawned on me...

Januarys blog candy was sitting on my desk just waiting for a winner. Where did the month go? I'm not even ready with new candy for February yet. I'm days behind. And this got me up and moving this morning. Now wide awake and ready to get things up and running. Random number generator has picked a winner and I know the perfect little package of flowers that I'll have to go and buy for this months candy. They're sitting on a shelf just waiting for me. 


So without further delay, the winner of the January candy is:


Congratulations!!!

Send me an email at:
cuddlebugcuties@gmail.com

and I'll get your new goodies on their way to you.

I will have new candy posted very soon.
Hugs,
Anna

Time for a Coffee Date




It's been awhile since we had a time to catch up and have a delicious cup of coffee.
Do you have time before the big game to sit down and relax for a few.
I have a warm toasted hazelnut blend with sweet whipped cream and shaved chocolate to top it off with. You won't be disappointed, my first cup was so scrumptious that I am now on number two.

Are you ready for the big football game?
I myself am taking the easy way out this year. We're having a small family get together and ordering pizza. I did however, make a small dessert for the occasion.


Homemade french silk pie.
I'm such a foodie, any reason I can find to cook I use.
If you asked any of my friends what type of blog I probably have they'd tell you a cooking / baking blog, lol. Nobody would ever guess art, I always think that's kinda funny.

My plans are to just relax and watch the game a little, I'm not truly a sports fanatic I'm mainly trying to spend time with my guy doing something that he loves. Thankful he doesn't mind if I have my drawing book or computer in my lap, so we're both happy.  So, maybe a few new pictures tonight and I'm sure I'll spend the majority of the night on Pinterest looking at all kinds of pretties. I'm just a little bit addicted to it.

I find so may craft projects that I want to try from Pinterest.  Everything I see is like, " oh wow, I have to try that".
 Right now I have plans to make a fabric journal, maybe just the cover instead of an entire book. I think a vintage shabby chic cover would look great on one of my drawing journals.

 I spent the day yesterday browsing an antique mall for little treasures that would clean up nice and make a crazy quilt of notions for a truly vintage cover. I found all kinds of  ribbons, laces, pillowcases, napkins, and hankies. I'm not really sure how I'm going to put it all together yet but I think it'll be a fun project. I'm not a sewing machine person, I prefer to sew by hand so I'm pretty sure this little book will take me a bit, but it'll be totally worth it.

Pretty heart I found while shopping. This will be great for my cover.

 So that's pretty much my weekend. It's been wonderful and full of memories.

How has your day been going? I'll pour us another cup and you can give me all the great details.

Hugs,
Anna
