Bunny and Heart Felt Coin Purses & Link to Kim Smith Bracelet Giveaway

Here are my newest listings, bunny and heart felt coin purses! You can use them as mini wallets or card holders as well so they're multi-use. I'm just getting started with these, I think I may end up doing more of these than pins, since pins haven't been selling that well.
I suppose I'm getting a late start for Valentine's Day and a REALLY early start for Easter lol but I like how they turned out anyway.

Oh.My.Gosh. Chili's White Chocolate Molten Cake!

We had some errands to run today and ended up at Chili's for lunch/dinner. After trying the new-ish mini chicken tacos which were great, we all split a White Chocolate Molten Cake. I wanted chocolate originally, but me being the only real chocolate lover, I lost lol. So we got the white chocolate but it was SO delicious! It's something like a butter bundt cake filled with white chocolate, topped with vanilla ice cream and a bit of white chocolate shell topping. And for decoration, there was a little strawberry sauce on the plate. I can't say enough about it other than that it was SO good and now I want to go back and try the chocolate lol. But beware, it's LARGE, so you'll need to share it with someone. We split ours between 3 people.

If you want to learn how to make something similar, there is a very close, pretty simple one here: http://www.recipelink.com/mf/14/33376

And to tempt you further, here's a pic of it that I found from restaurants.uptake.com!

Friday Listing- Tropical Birds!

I just listed these bird pins on my Etsy site, there's a parrot, toucan and flamingo. I can make the parrot in other colors as well because I know there are other colors of parrots out there. I'm quite happy with how they turned out since I'm more used to making food pins!

Adorable Video- Orangutan and the Dog!

One of my mom's friends emailed the link to this adorable video a few weeks ago and I swear, it is THE cutest thing. It's about an orangutan who "adopts" a stray dog. They're friends now and the orangutan even walks the dog on a leash and feeds him. If you need a smile today, watch this video!

For the Ice Cream Lovers...Mini Ice Cream Cone Pins

I've been dying to post these because I'm so happy with how they turned out. I actually wore them on my jacket today when I went out and got lots of compliments on them! They're 2 little ice cream cone pins and I can make them in lots of "flavors" if you have another you prefer. A "mint chip cone" (minty green with brown beads for chocolate chips) would be so cute too! If you love ice cream or just want to be reminded that you already HAVE ice cream so don't need to eat it, these are perfect for you! Just click the picture to be taken to their link on Etsy.

Monday, Monday: Feature- Lafe's Hidden Treasures!

I hope everyone is having a good Monday so far!

I wanted to feature a blog today from a sweet friend, Nancy, over at Lafe's Hidden Treasures!



Today she posted a delicious recipe for Chicken Pot Pie which my family has tried and loves as well. It's super simple and you can really load it up with the good stuff, unlike those frozen pot pie dinners.

While you're there, peruse her other posts, there's lots to see and read!

Additionally, she has a fun Etsy shop with lots of good stuff, I featured her "Butterflies in Flight" block in one of my treasuries (see previous post about the treasuries I made).
