Challenge Wednesday at my other blog - Daily art Stop - Theme "Springtime in Paris"

Hi Everyone...

The theme for this week's challenge over at my Daily art Stop blog is "Springtime in Paris" and since it is still cold and wintry here I thought it would help get us all in the mood for warmer weather....

I had some fun with this theme...from pulling out an old favorite dress, to creating a fun collage to snacking on one of my favorites...a yummy and buttery croissant....

Thanks for popping by and please grab a chair and let me make you a latte....

Have a wonderful day...
Hugs
Diana

I received a few phone calls and e-mails with special requests so I will be working on some fun Illustrations in the coming weeks.....

I have also added another peek at one of the dresses in the 2008 Collection....red hot!

and posted some photos of the cupcakes I baked for a special road trip my friends and I are heading out on Friday....these will tie us over with all the shopping we will be doing before our big dinner out.....

these cupcakes are my version of what a reese's peanut butter cups chocolate bar would be if it was re-incarnated into a yummy cupcake....

I used only the finest chocolate to make the brownie like cupcakes....then placed a special peanut butter filling in each that is baked in....and to top it all off a chocolate ganache icing with some heart sprinkles.....

What fun! and I can't wait till Friday....

Tonight I am looking forward to "celebrity apprentice" hope the guys can go 3 for 3....

Have a wonderful night/day everyone!

Cheers,
Diana
