I was supposed to be posting about our fabulous Chocolate-themed (yes, you were right) gourmet group dinner this weekend, but I happened to come down with strep throat the night before, and rather than share that with my dinner guests, we postponed gourmet group. Bummer, right? I will post details as soon as it happens….
Here’s is a glimpse of some of the invitations I made for my Gourmet Group dinner this weekend. Can you guess our theme???
(portrait of Grandma by Aunt Marsha) I traveled to Southern Utah this past weekend for the funeral of my grandmother.

OK. I think this will be my last Valentine’s Post, since it is Valentine’s Day already and the stores are all moving on to what? The 4th of July? I just wanted to show you these LOVE-ly cakes my sister made for a school fundraiser. Together they brought-in nearly $100! Maybe some last-minute dessert inspiration….

Each year at Valentine’s there is the big decision: To buy the Power Rangers and Barbie cards, or to make something a little more creative and personal. I bet you can’t guess which camp I am in! In fact, today’s big project is assembling the Valentines, but I’m not going to show them to you…yet….
