Guylian Belgian Chocolates Giveaway

Here are some of the most delicious chocolates I've ever tasted. 
Smooth. 
Rich. 
Silky. 
Absolutely Decadent.

Guylian Belgian Chocolates Truffles are filled with the finest white, milk, and dark chocolate and filled with their signature truffle. They produce the most beautiful marbling on the shell and sea horse shaped chocolates. 

I've had my share of many *many* different types of chocolates. I spent some time in Eastern Europe and ADORED the rich chocolates there. These chocolates remind me so much of the ones I had there....they are so incredibly rich and creamy. This chocolate is really high-end. I actually brought these truffles into my workplace and there wasn't a co-worker who didn't "MMmmmmm" and "OOooo" over them. 


The story behind the name of Guylian is just as romantic as their desserts. Guy Foubert was a passionate Belgian chocolatier who met and fell in loved with a woman named Liliane. In 1958, they married and combined their names to make Guylian. Their chocolate recipe is still used and made in small batch kettles and combined with their delicious hazelnut truffle center. 

Lucky for you, and just in time for the Holidays....I've got a giveaway for a Box of 22 Chocolates.

Oh, yum. 
You are going to LOVE these!!

Mason Jar Snow Scene

I just had to try on of the mason jar snow globes I've been seeing on Pinterest and the rest of the blog world......

I happened to have some vintage mason jars and some polymer clay. I bought some bottle brush trees at A. C. Moore and some glitter snow. I shaped the clay to fit around the tree in the base of the mason jars  and then hardened it in that shape. I painted the glitter snow on the hardened clay and let it dry. Then I placed the tree (with glue on it) and the snow in the base of the jar and that was that. Easy peasy!!!!

I love the simplicity of it and the way the glass makes it shine. 

I shared this post at the following funky linky parties:
