I' a bit early here for the Donut War, but really need

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'.

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.

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.

with a heart, jelly donut?

Well sit back . . .

But of course after first wiping the jelly off my face.

Enjoy your day!

Okey . . .  not quite the same as the Contessa's, 

but a good swing to the East Coast. 

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

What you going to do now Kelley?   

WELL LOOK HERE KELLEY!

Guess where I finally got to go? 

You guessed it - Dunkin" Donuts!

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!)
