Back in the swing of things ~

One of my fav old photos EVER...

I've given it to you several times too ~
they look so happy to be friends, don't you think?

I've had a slow start this week for some reason ~

sometimes too much is on our minds to enjoy what we love.

But as soon as I finally do get started,

all is good with my frame of mind again :)

I love making these little needle keeps...

they're simple but layered with treasures,

these are still in progress but getting close to being finished!

I hope to have them in my Etsy really soon.

I thought I'd try a few different styles this time too....

I love old floral barkcloth and

still have a good bit of my very favorite patterns,

don't you love the cottage feel it has?

I thought I'd cook a special treat for everyone this week,

thank goodness it's Noah's last week of school this year!

My mom used to make Ooey Gooey cake when we were kids ~

This is not one of those recipes you cook every week....

it is SO totally bad for you but is perfect for special occasions :)

Plus, it's so rich, you can't handle much of it!!!

One benefit, other than tasting it's heavenliness is

how wonderful it makes the house smell!!

You can use any basic yellow cake mix too...

I think Paula Deen makes something like this too!

And we all know how healthy her recipes are :)

Take one bite then apply the rest directly to your hips!!!

Have a great Wednesday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn
