KAHLUA AND ICE CREAM SANDWICHES..... OH MY!

Have you visited Libby from Twirl and Taste ?  If you haven't,  you must pay her a visit!  I have bookmarked several of her recipes, but last night I was having a special birthday dinner for my future daughter-in-law and  I knew I wanted a really scrumptious dessert.  Well, I found it in Libby's recipe for XOXO Ice Cream!  I am not a food stylist, nor am I the best photographer, so my pictures do not speak of how delicious this recipe is!  You must give it a try!

Line a baking dish with Ice Cream Sandwiches.  Poke the sandwiches with a fork to create more holes.  Then, are you ready for this..... pour Kahlua over the sandwiches.  Top with cool whip and crushed Heath Bars.  Libby suggests adding the crushed candy to the cool whip before spreading.  I was so excited about making this, that I didn't pay attention.  I sprinkled them on the top..... delicious anyway!  Top with chocolate curls.  Cover with plastic wrap and freeze!  Yummy!

Thank you Libby!

WATER GARDENS.....

  Last summer,  I bought this water blooming Calla Lilly.  I thought I would give it a try and bring it inside for the winter and place it in my conservatory.  I really wasn't sure how well it would do.  But look!  I was so thrilled when I saw these new flowers spiking and then blooming again into this breathtaking Calla Lilly!    

I can't wait for those warm summer days when I can bring my small water garden outside again!

Do I have cabin fever..... or what?

THE WEDDING WREATH.....

A Keepsake.....

When I first started my business years ago, I began designing wreaths from the flowers of bridal bouquets.  This one was just completed,  and will be picked up tomorrow as a special surprise for the bride for Valentine's Day.  I quickly took a picture of it so that I could share the idea with you.   

                                                                                                                

                                                                                

I CONFESS.....

Ok.... so I've been on Weight Watchers for almost three weeks..... and I've been really, really good. My son's wedding is coming up in September and I have to find a dress.   But today.... I couldn't resist.... those Chocolate Covered Oreos in the previous post.... well, they got the better of me!  I had one!  There.... I've confessed!  Now I feel better! :)

ANYONE ELSE ON WEIGHT WATCHERS?

Uggs..... Could you live without them?

We couldn't! 

CAN YOU GUESS?

Yep.... the UPS man has arrived with just some of the goodies from my shopping trip last week at the New York Gift Show!

Inside these boxes......

They sure lose their magic when you see them like this,

Don't they?

Yikes!
