I' a bit early here for the Donut War, but really need 
to stay up one from my opponent. After all, Kelley comes 
in swinging every week with a delectable from
Dunkin' Donuts. Do have to admit, I love licking
all of that jelly off my face!

So here is a sweet treat from Starbucks . . . 
their scrumptious, tiny Reeces cupcake and a
vanilla bean frap'.

Fridays mark the day to post some of my personal favorite

The clouds cascade and billow upward with a glow 
from the sun. Just glorious! 

Enjoy your weekend!

Slips, setbacks and minor problems
dragging down the spirit.

So I gazed at the blue sky sprinkled with white clouds 
and envisioned a tree. A myriad network of branches 
of various sizes supported by the trunk. Tall and strong 
it stood while swaying from the rippling breeze.  

Such an example of strength.

Valentines is a day of love, 
with romance conveyed

But I prefer a stroll beneath rose arches.

appropriate than a sweetheart devils food cupcake?

PUPPY LOVES CUPCAKES
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
8" square archival white matt, glass + gold frame
SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR

Last May I ran this cute little pastel as a featured Kids Korner
which just sold with many thanks to Tirage Gallery.

For those that aren't familiar, I pair a delectable cupcake with a 
child's piece of art. The child graciously allows me to use their 
art as a backdrop, then I recreate the set-up. Upon posting, I 
give a spot to the child, which also becomes the painting tag.
When the little morsel sells, I send the child a $25 stipend 
for use of their image.

Here is Zahra's information, which I am so grateful for her assistance.
And the check is in the mail!

It's Monday and you know what that means . . . 
 Donut War with Kelley!

And here I thought  I would look so snazzy by 
recreating one of those darn Dunkin' Donut cups. 
Well let me tell you it's pretty tricky writing out 
their logo with little sticks of pastels. 

She's got that on me, so thinking of just hitting Starbucks 
again after licking all the chocolate frosting off my lips. 

 What did Kelley throw my way? Click here to see.
But wait . . . I see a white flag, yet still think she topped 
me with her faithful jelly. Get well Kelley.

Heavy was the dark mass that cradled 
the top of the mountain, while the colors 
bounced erratically through the wind currents.

Standing tall I inhaled deeply the air's fresh scent.

So alive.

I've just returned from visiting dear friends, 
which was an impetus to reflect on the past. 
Not only of my fortunes of such wonderful friends, 
families and opportunities, but also of the many 
historical discoveries through my meanderings. 

Tuzigoot National Monument is one such place and
 is located 90 miles north of Phoenix, near Clarkdale.
The ancient pueblo comprises of 110 rooms 
and dates back to 1000AD.
 By 1400 all life vanished.

After all, this is my first try with the infamous DD.

What you going to do now Kelley?

Guess where I finally got to go? 

You guessed it - Dunkin" Donuts!

And now I have some ammo for the Donut War.

Watch out Kelley - I'm shooting!

It may be Donut War Day, but . . . 
Valentines Day is popping up quickly!

So I'm wiping the chocolate frosting off my mouth 
and nibbling on some sweet, heart-shaped sugar cookies. 

So duck!  . . . to avoid Kelley's toss. 
I'm sure it's some delectable treat 
flying through the air. 
(I peeked . . .  it's pink!)
