Wool and The Gang


Sorry I didn't get my party up this week, folks!!  Things were just so busy right around the holidays....it absolutely slipped my mind!! It will definitely be up this Sunday with all kinds of fun features, because you guys always go above and beyond. You totally inspire me. 

I wanted to tell you about a fun little online shop called Wool and the Gang. It's a very all-inclusive knitting site that sells all kinds of knitting kits and finished pieces. They have got some very high quality alpaca knitting wool that are used in some of the patterns. Though the prices can be high, the quality of the wool and the pattern is represented well. 

A Knit Kit Gift is a great idea for present for the New Year....it's so cozy to be sitting in your warm house, with your fleece pants on, fuzzy socks, pony tails and a nice romance movie on the tv while you begin a new project. Okay, so now you know what I do in the winter time. :-) 

Look at this sweater:

Such a gorgeous piece, right? This is one of the kits you could make. Click on this link HERE to learn more about it.  

Here is one that you could just buy and be totally pleased with....

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!!
