say a little prayer for me today :)

I'm stoked! Two of my BEST FRIENDS are coming up to visit today! :-D

Needs a good, reputable, affordable letterpress printing company... doesn't have to be in greenville. Any ideas?

SO EXCITED! I got a PRINT GOCCO for Christmas! :-D

Going to see a possible reception site with my fiance and our parents :)

Pretty excited I'll be spending this Christmas engaged... :)

ENGAGED!!!

So, my dreams finally came true and I am ENGAGED to the love of my life! After 8 1/2 long and patient years, my little man asked me to marry him. He even had the guts to do it in front of both of our parents. There's a few pics of how it happened on Sunday Dec 21 about 4:40pm :) I'll be taking some more photos and posting soon!

IS ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!

about to battle the crazies... Christmas shopping with Evan!

Peppermint and Chocolate

So, I love peppermint and chocolate together so much, whether it is at Starbucks [Peppermint Mocha], at Chic-Fil-A [Peppermint chocolate milkshake] or just in general. So, I tried a new recipe that is super simple, you should try making it for your holiday festivities.

Chocolate-Peppermint Bark

Prep Time:

15 min
Total Time:
1 hr 45 min

Makes:
10 servings, one piece each

What You Need

1-1/2 pkg. (12 squares) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate

1 cup crushed peppermint candies

Make It

MICROWAVE chocolate in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min.or until almost melted, stirring after 1 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted.

SPREAD half of the chocolate on waxed paper-covered baking sheet; sprinkle with crushed candies. Drizzle evenly with remaining chocolate.

REFRIGERATE 1-1/2 hours or until firm. Break into 10 pieces. Store, placed between layers of waxed paper, in tightly covered container at room temperature, or in the refrigerator, up to 3 weeks.

It works best to crush the peppermints by putting them in your blender or food processor on pulse. I would have posted photos of this lovely little snack but mine didn't turn out too pretty :)
