magical

hope your weekend brings you lots of unexpected sweet surprises!

Sweet as Sugar

I have such a sweet tooth and when I saw the bright and beautiful colors of frosting decorating these shortbread cookies...I was smitten! From etsy seller, Cakebox Cookies ,who offers lots of styles and ways to customize a birthday party, wedding, baby shower...fab! My children's website, The Cupcakes Club is giving away a half dozen of these delicious and fun cookies just for leaving a comment. How sweet is that?

This pic is from teen blogger Jane Aldridge who is spotlighting fashion/shoes but I can't take my eyes off the ghost chairs with sheepskin and that table...love.

WOW

If you saw the Oscars, I hope you saw the red carpet preshow. Marisa Tomei in Versace...wow. What a dress. Remember Project Runway winner Leanne and all the folds and pleats she put on everything?

Half full for you?

I'm not sure who started all the bad news, but I am so not digging it. Gloom doom everywhere and not a glimmer, not a sparkle to give us hope. Not here dear readers. I've had it. I'm bustin out. Somebody's got to take this badness, this madness and give it a shake and remind people that things will get better.

How?

As silly as it may sound...think a happy thought. Be a child, close your eyes, and make a wish. Think of the best outcome. Be simple. Be creative. Be nice to someone. Smile. Give thanks.

On Monday, I woke up with pressure on my right eye. Immediately I thought "brain tumor" (see my Woody Allen post earlier to understand). On my way to the doctor I decided I should be thankful because I have two eyes and I'd still be able to see with my left eye.

Okay...it was only an eye infection and drops will clear it up...but the point is...I could have been all wackadoodled out with losing an eye...but I turned it around. Turn it around, America. Turn it around.

Madness

If you're not on Tracy Porter's email list you may not have heard about her "Spring Clearance Madness" sale. It's amazing. How amazing? Think $200 earrings for $28 or $300 fashion items for $25. What are you waiting for?

Our daughter, Audrey and her husband Joshua were here with us on Valentine's Day. A big thank you to my family for playing along on the video --it was a lot of fun and the meal turned out AMAZING!
