{hot cocoa & jewelry}

Hello.


It's almost the weekend....yippee:)
It's been snowing...snowing...snowing here this week!

and cold!
So you know what that put in the mood for!?!?!?
Hot Cocoa!!
I love hot cocoa.
I love it so much i've been on a hot cocoa binge lately:)
I stop every morning, at a local gas station, on my way to work to get a hot cocoa mixed with hazelnut coffee!!!
Yum-O!

To me hot cocoa is just one of the best things in life....well amost as good as vino....but not quite!

and you know what I love almost more than the hot cocoa itself!?!?!?
the chocolate peppermint spoon.
d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s.

and so very simple to make.
microwave white chocolate chips
crush some candy canes
dip the spoons in the chocolate and then into the crushed candy canes
cool and then ENJOY!

Pure bliss......


What's you favorite wintertime treat!?!?!


Oh and remember that little table I made this summer??
Well I just cleared a litle snow off of it and used it for this very festive hot cocoa display:)

And guess what else!!?!
I have been very busy working on new Simple Daisy designs!!!

I love...love...love them and hope you do too!!!


I finally feel like Simple Daisy {and myself} are headed in the right direction!
I am starting to see the overall vision:)


Simple Daisy has been such a work in progress and still very much is....but I definitely feel that I am on the right path now:)


I even have an Office Manager {aka. my best friend}. She's working hard to whip the behind the scenes filing, billing, paperwork kinds of thing into shape! I will be the first to admit.....that......organizing is NOT my strength! Good thing it's what she excels at!


and you know what else...in case I haven't said thank you lately...
thank you....for all of your support and encouragement as I work hard to follow my bliss! I appreciate each and every one of you.
I know I have leaned on more than one of you through e-mails, etc......thank you for always taking the time to answer all of my questions or to give me a kind pep talk! I keep moving forward because of you! And you know...I might have a few more questions:) So be prepared!! heehee


Really .... we all motivate each other...now don't we!
I always love to hear what you say....and I really value your opinions:)


Oh and the new blog button.....
