A Little Love for You Today

Just wishing ALL of you a 'Little Love'today,
my children are sick so I really can't stay....
But I'm sending some loving thoughts out
                     for you,
in case you are feeling a little bit like me,
        red is not the color that I see,
                it's more like ....blue.

So I'm pulling out the pots and pans,
simmering some soup on the stove,
but its whats in the oven that's showin us some Lovin'...
                             CupCakes!
Maple Banana cake,with a vanilla butter frosting and sprinkle of soft pink sugar.....mmmmmm,
I think I'm starting to feel better.....ooops,
there goes the buzzer,time to wrap up this letter,
                Back to what I originally wanted to say,
I hope you find some 'LOVE' on this
                           Valentines Day!~~~~~

Have A Great Week~~~~~and thanks for stopping by...:)virginia

Somethin' Sassy and Springy about these Polka Dots!
just sharin some more Love...:)
     Enjoy!~~~~~virginia

I'M IN IT FOR THE FOOD.....

Super Bowl Day!....
and I'm cooking away...my Fam has asked for their Favs,and I'm going to oblige!....afterall,I'm really in it for the food...(heeeheee)

actually I do like the Game,just that the Team I Like isn't in it this year,but I will be supportive to the ONE member in our household who's Team is in it to Win it!.....

But here are a couple of the goodies I made,
Chili Dip,it is in layers,Bottom is cream cheese,Next is Chili(Homemade),then your Favorite salsa,top it off with cheddar cheese,Heat in Oven til BUBBLY,serve with a couple of bags of chips,mmmm

Next is my favorite,well,it was actually my Mother-in-laws favorite(and we are missing her today),so in her honor,here is one of the EASIEST Pies to Make,
    Caramel Pie,if you have a Sweet tooth,this is for you (also if you are a lover of caramel)...
you take 3 cans os Sweetened Condensed Milk and place them in a pot of water,and boil for 3 hours,

after 3 hrs,let cans cool,then open and you will have Caramel(milk is color of peanutbutter)....
Pour into a chocolate Oreo crust,let cool in refrig. then top with Whipped cream(I don't add sweetner)and add some Heath bar peices on top of Pie....

Now when serving,you truly don't need to a big peice,this pie is very Sweet and Rich(why I don't sweetin Cream),....this same recipe I have seen cooked in the crockpot,(the milk poured into crockpot) ,which is the way I used to make it,But it took 7 hrs,and constant stirring(and days of scrubbing the pot)...I hope you are Enjoying your Game Day Today!

meanwhile,this is what I've been working on....
       til next time~~~~virginia:)

Lookin for Love on Etsy today....

my first Treasury list on Etsy,and it was a LoT of FuN!~~~~~my ONLY problem was just being able to only choose 16 items..:(,I was just LUVIN them ALL!

Well,I hope YOU enjoy!....:)virginia~~~~

Bringing Some Love Into the New Year...

Well,I know I'm a little early,but it just seemed right to go with the moment...Yes,I'm talking about that Special day in February,where we share a Little Love...

So I had some inspiration,and started

"Feelin the Love"

and went to work on tags....

I Love Stamping,Embossing,Painting,Coloring!

and the color Pink...

But I didn't stay there too long....

Yes,I went in a totally different direction,
               softer...calmer
                Not the Norm
                    for
                Valentines!

    But filled with Love just the same....

      Where do I get my Inspiration from?
              from my Assistant
                 of course....

He's Loyal,Loving,and very supportive with
         Everything I do!
I can ALWAYS count on him to be by my side!
        that,and He NEVER misses a photo op!


I hope you are finding Love&Inspiration,
    Thanks for stoppin' by~~~virginia..:)

Wishing You All A Wonderful New Year....Cheers!

                                            The Party......

                                          The Waiting....

                                            And Finally......

See You In 2011,

My Freinds!

Be Merry And Safe....virginia...:)

Keeping it Simple,Small and Colorful....

OK,first I must admitI just can't seem to get motivated this with the Decorations....Last year I was ALL OVER IT!(maybe cause I was the Host).
          This year my Beautiful Sister is Hosting!yaaaah.....But,I was feeling guilty,the kids wanting the big tree up.So,I went to work...I begged and pleaded like nobody's business,and with luck on my selfish side,they agreed.....what???...Iknow,I am Lucky!.....Here's why,my beautiful Daughter came up with this cleaver ,simple,colorful,SMALL display.....I hope you all  enjoy it as much as we do!

  
                  A Princess Fairy,waiting patiently under the tree

                                   Pink Santa Gourd with gifts to bare...

                  A Cool Blue Blast from the Past......

         With a Friend thats hangin around so sweetly....

And A Winter Wonderfulness that Special Freinds share,

It might not seem like much,But to me it is a Great reminder of All that is TRULY important,Family,Freinds and A little bit of

Magic...as seen through the eyes of  Children!

Thank You my Beautiful  Children!

And Thank You for stopping by!

Wishing You Some Magic this Season~~~virginia...:)
