Fancy New Book! and some baking....

Hi Everyone...

I was out with my Girlfriends lastnight and on our shopping trip I found a book one of my blog friends worked on...Andi Butler....

This book is the cutest thing ever...the illustrations are wonderful and I love making these mini couture dresses....

The book comes with all kinds of wonderful supplies and even mini hangers....

I had some fun this morning creating my first mini dress....here is my pink wonder...hope you enjoy it! and I can't wait to make more....

This book is such an inspiration to me....I have so many ideas going through my mind....great work Andi!


I also baked up some yummy cupcakes...these are dark chocolate cake with a creamy milk chocolate frosting and ganache on top....cupcakes and dresses and jewelry...so much fun these days....






I used some of this stuff on each cake too...the flavour is amazing....
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Tonight we are having a bon fire!
Cheers,
Diana

Oh how I love getting mail...snail mail that is...

Hi Everyone...

What a pleasant surprise ...getting all these wonderful things in the mail...

I am interviewing a wonderful illustrator, Mike Motz in an article for my on-line column for a web site that will be launching later this month. The author of the book "Learn Along With Lily" Donna McNaughton, was sweet enough to send me a copy of the book he picked for me to include in his interview....what a great read and his work is wonderful in this book. You can check out details about the book and purchase your own copy at Raindrop Books .

I was also pleasantly surprised when I received my Pug Pal from Melissa Langer of Pugnotes.com. She has so many wonderful prints and items in her shop. You have to check it all out. You should also pop by her blog daily for some fun treats and great projects she has on the go. I was lucky to be one of the recipients of her "Pay it Forward" fun...she gave away 3 prints!!!


And to top off my wonderful day with Snail Mail...Jannie Ho...of Chicken Girl Design...a wonderful illustrator from New York sent me some fun artwork too...I will be framing all these wonderful art pieces and placing them in my studio for inspiration and a reminder of the wonderful friends I have met through art and blogging.

Thank you for being such wonderful friends and for visiting me here on my blog...

Cheers,
Diana


Jannie's work is so much fun!
