Love Weeks-Day 6

The treat.
Raspberry Swizzle.

(the inspiring picture)
As a special treat I made the guys Raspberry Swizzle from the Farm Chicks. Only I didn't re-read the directions before making mine. Not a good thing to do. I was supposed to heat the raspberries and I left mine frozen. I told Mr. Dunbar, mine doesn't look as pretty as theirs. Um, duh! If I had read the directions... ah, well. Such is life.
It's the thought that counted, right? 


When I pulled out the ingredients, including a bottle of sparkling cider. Monkey looked at Bogie and said, "Cool, we get to drink beer!"
HUH?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And one more little snippet of my house. This is a dresser I had to put in my mudroom for more storage. But since it leads to my kitchen and I look at it all of the time, I gussied it up a bit. That window up there is where my heart for Mr. Dunbar was drawn a few days ago.

PS: The bows have now been re-done to match eachother. Was that bugging you as much as it was bugging me?

Are you going to go make a Swizzle now?
They were still pretty dee-lish even if I didn't follow the instructions.

Oh yummy! I have the Farmchicks book so will make those soon! I have the Target ILOVEU cup (gave to our youngest with the bowl for one of his First Communion goodies) and I also have the "22" cup from Anthro. Great brains think alike :)

Nice... you know reading directions always helps out for some reason... Ask Erica about her brownies!

That picture of the dresser looks like it's out of a magazine! You have a gift with decorating. Can I send you pictures of my mantle? Bet you'd have some fun ideas. :)
