Happy Pink Saturday! How are y'all this lovely February day? The weather is cool and crisp and the sun is shining and I have a HUGE pot of home made Vegetable Soup simmering on the stove;  so not a bad day at all here in the Old Dominion. I love the month of February. I always have, for several reasons. Valentines day (the perfect day for one like me who loves all things with hearts on them)  my sister Laura's birthday, my dear friend Nathan's birthday, my friend Julia's birthday, my niece April's birthday, and my birthday. PHEW it's a busy month, but I love it! The weather is usually cold (just how I like it) and I have lots going on. FUN TIMES! For my pinks today I wanted to share with y'all some delicious die-cuts (sadly now discontinued)  I got from Jenny & Aaron last year.  I LOVE THEIR ART! I am a huge fan of theirs. OK so many of you know I love all things cupcake, so when I saw their cupcake die cut I wanted it so bad, h...

The best part...it's sugar free so it's a sweet treat for my sweetheart. We love black cherry jello and the sugar free is pretty good, but BORING, so I was trying to think of a way to male it special. and this is what I came up with. For the Chocolate Mousse 1 box sugar free instant chocolate pudding 1 container sugar/fat free whipped topping 1/2 c. milk Mix it all together until the pudding is well combined into the topping it will be thick and creamy. 2 boxes sugar free jello I used Black Cherry, but you can use what you like. Follow instructions on box, make and chill until it's firm and you are ready to assemble. Find a pretty gl...
