*Yummy Monday*, More Joli Paquet & A Giveaway Announcement!

Isn't that a great pout? Well that's nothin', honey! You should see MY pouty face. And WHY am I pouting and feeling oh-so-sorry for myself? Well it's because THIS is going on this coming weekend and I am not going to be there....

Gosh I'm sad I'm not going! But as I mentioned a few posts ago, I am the primary food source for this little guy and of course the food source can't go traipsing around around the country, now can it?
Well in honor of Silver Bella, I'm doing a very special MONDAY YUMMIES post inspired by all things Christmas, glittery and yummy! It's going to be extra yummy, Girls! Are you ready? If you hear the sound of little carriage wheels outside your door, that's me! Here I come with a cute little carriage for you to ride around cyberspace with me in. Isn't it sweet??

Climb in next to the sweet little dolly and I'll tuck you in...

And off we go!

YUMMY THINGS ONE THROUGH ELEVEN: Joli Paquet Kits!
I know I told you a little bit about this exciting project last week but I have lots more info and lovely pics to show you know. As I mentioned last week, Joli Paquet (Pretty Package) is a collaborative effort that will allow those of us who are not going to Silver Bella to purchase really incredible "kits" put together by seven talented artists. I was SOOOOO honored to be included in this number and am really excited about the kit I have prepared for you, as well as those offered by the other six women. Wait till you SEE!!!!! These kits will all be offered for purchase starting THIS FRIDAY, November 9th. You can go to our collaborative blog here for more information!


Joli Paquet Kit: The Ice Queen by Cheryl (ME!) of Rosey Posey Confections

This is my first kit...a sweet little box featuring The Ice Queen herself, who is, as you can see, anything but cold and cruel! It is still in process as I have found some other really wonderful elements to add to this kit. I'll be showing you some more photos this week as I add to it!



Joli Paquet Kit: Capturing the Magic of Christmas by Cerri Campbell of Little Pink Studio Isn't this magical? This is one kit I must have. Just gorgeous!

Another lovely kit by Cerri! I adore it. You KNOW how I feel about pink Christmasy decorations, don't you???

Joli Paquet Kit: Vintage Santa Banner by Lori of Vintage Flair Isn't this sweet? I love the Santa and the tinsel, especially! Wouldn't this be sweet displayed on a mantle?

Joli Paquet Kit: Bonne Annee Candle by Lori of Vintage Flair Another lovely kit by Lori, this candle jar kit would make a lovely decoration or gift for someone special. And imagine the "oohs" and "aahs" when you tell that special someone YOU made it!

The next yummies are things I've found when I've been "out and about" this week....all glittery, all Christmas-ey and all YUMMY....

YUMMY THING TWELVE: "Merry Christmas" Banner in Neutrals by Storia Home

These are my colors and I love the way the neutral colors look with the silver glitter! So old-fashioned and lovely....

YUMMY THING THIRTEEN: Button Tins of Vintage Buttons by Junque Art

Now aren't these delicious??? One would expect some yummy candy to be inside...and really...there is! Not the eating kind of candy, maybe, but the crafty chic kind of candy! ;) She has selected some sweet vintage buttons from her stash and filled these little tins with them. Who can just buy one???

YUMMY THING FOURTEEN: "Twinkle" and "Santa Baby" Stars by The Junk Drawer

Totally adorable! I love everything about these....

YUMMY THING FIFTEEN: Snowflake Frame by JaneSays

I'd love to put a tiny black and white photo in this one and I have just the one in mind! I don't have it scanned but I took a black and white photo of my Emily when she was about three in the snow wearing this incredible vintage-looking hat and coat. She looks like she could be her great-grandmother, Rachel, all bundled up in the cold! I think I NEED this frame....

Well that's it for this week, Ladies! Please stop by later this week for updated piccys of my Joli Paquet. And I'm going to TRY to finish a second paquet but we'll see how that goes. The first one will be available for sure starting Friday. I'll be selling them in my etsy shoppe but you may also buy them by simply emailing me! And I'll be having a special **GIVEAWAY** Friday so don't miss that! More details about that to come....

Have a lovely Monday and a wonderful week, Sweets!

Love,

Cheryl :)
