Happy Friday, Sweets!

Hello, Sweets! Hope this finds you happy and full of fun plans for your weekend! I'm dragging a bit today but going to make it through with the help of my trusty friend...

What are you up to today? This is what I have planned for this evening....

I'll be working on a Halloween version of this...think black cats with orange bows!! I want to show you something SUGARY SWEET that I won from the sweetest of bloggy gals, Miss Dara of Sophie Rose Designs! I found her blog in all its cuteness and sweetness and soon after won this over-the-top adorable "Chic" crown from her blog giveaway! Here is her own little Sophie Rose (the blog namesake herself!) modeling it. So of COURSE I was thrilled to find out I'd won it.... And then last week I was delighted to find this in on my porch! My husband took these photos and he did all kinds of fancy stuff to the lighting settings (which I have never learned to tweak but SHOULD) and even put on a special lens. Aren't they lovely?

And here is ME, modeling my new crown! This is the end of a long day and my lipstick and most of my makeup is long-gone! But James says that's my real smile, so that's good! :)Be sure and visit the Sweet Miss Dara at her blog! And now you can shop in her new and delicious little etsy shoppe, which she has hinted at updating very soon...can't wait to see what new lovelies she's adding!

Well I'm off to visit all my favorite "haunts"...so many pretties and so little time!

Hugs!
