for a Peppermint Hot Chocolate from Starbucks. That’s what I had this morning! YUM!!! I look forward to cooler weather for many reasons. This little delicious treat being one of them! If you’ve never had one….you’re missin’ out! But if you get hooked…..don’t blame me!
What seasonal type treats do you look forward to this time of year?
Another one of my all-time favorite Holiday treats is Ghirardelli’s Peppermint Bark chocolate. Mmmmmmmmmmm…..Nothing better. I definately stock up on this goodie. 
If you have never tried it…..it’s a layer of white chocolate on top of a layer of regular chocolate and the white chocolate has little tiny bits of crunched up peppermint candy in it. Okay. I need to stop. Trust me….it’s DIVINE. 
Can you tell I am prego????
I swear my world revolves right now around what actually sounds good to eat. The list is small but distinguished. LOL Speaking of me being preggers.
ONLY 4 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE ULTRA-SOUND!!!!!!!
Everytime I think about it….I wanna hurl. Gross I know but seriously the thought of poor Shane not getting his son makes my tummy hurt. Part of me wants to skip that appointment alltogether. Tune in Monday afternoon for those Boy/Girl results.
Okay…..now that I have already bored you to tears. I have a few projects to share. These two altered name sets above were A TON of fun for me to create. I did these for my internet buddy Liz for her sons’ Christmas gifts. It was nice to work with a “BOY”/”GUY” theme for once. It was kinda weird at times though cause the Mom to girls in me wanted to keep adding ribbons and bows but that just didn’t look right. Hee hee. I kept these pretty simple so Jake and Ray would think they were COOL and not too CUTESY. How’d I do Liz? They are off in the mail to you! ENJOY! Let me know how the boys like them!
These last two projects were quickies I did last night. The blue layout is last week’s (yes….I’m running behind as usual! LOL) JOY JOURNAL entry in my little 6×6 album. I scrapped about the Joy my scrapbooking brings me and added a photo of my scrappy space. I’ve never done this before so I think my kids will like that when I’m dead and gone. HA HA HA! Then the “give thanks” card is based on this week’s sketch over at SKETCH THIS: CARDS. Pretty much all the products on this card are from Bo Bunny. Except the flower…..that came from the 80% off bunch I got at Michael’s the other day!
Okay…..off and running. Girls just walked in and it’s time to switch to “homework helper” mode! Have a great day! What’s left of it!

As always, cute stuff!!! Good luck on the ultra-sound…I’ve home-made the peppermint bark before, but I’m all about fast and easy, I’ll have to give the Ghirardelli a try!!!

Yum on the hot chocolate I will have give it a try, I love Steak and Shakes white chocolate shake they have this time of year.
Good luck on the ultrasound. I have a friend that wanted a boy so bad but all girls, so hopefully you will get a sweet little boy. They are so different than girls, I don’t know if its because our daughter was first or what but our little boy is so easy going and so loving, loves giving kisses and hugs.
Love the layouts, they are so cute love the hearts and the boy letters are as always amazing.

Eggnog and Pumpkin shakes (not mixed, seperate shakes! LOL) from Warren’s. Oh yummy! I could also use a pecan log from the southern states…*sigh*
I love the guys names!! You did an awesome job. That camo looking paper is way cool!
And yes, I am checking back on Monday to find out. I can’t wait.

Deanna Says:
I love the new projects. They all turned out great. Ok Shanna, I seriously think I will cry if you don’t get a boy. I think I want you to have a boy more than you do. Is that possible? I know you are nervous of what to do with a boy. I was too. But it is wonderful! So I am keeping my fingers crossed and holding my breath! Good Luck!

I love the Starbucks seasonal drinks! I was so sad to miss the pumpkin latte this year, but I’ve already had a gingerbread!
The local frozen custard place here also does eggnog and pumpkin flavored ice cream… yum!

Lacey Says:
Will definitely have to try the peppermint hot chocolate although I still think it’s alittle warm for that! Maybe I’ll have to go at like 6am!
The letters turned out so cute and as for the little bundle of joy, I can totally relate….I wanted a boy so badly for Chris and we were both so nervous about the ultrasound. My sweet little girl kept telling us it was a girl but we didn’t believe her..she was right and we couldn’t be more happy! Then again we will probably try one more time after this one! Good luck with the ultrasound! Boy vibes being sent your way!

Remember, little boys have this thing called a weener. It’s a protrusion between his little legs. Don’t let it frighten you when you go to change his diaper, it is not a condition, it is perfectly normal. A standard part of male anatomy. Call me if you have any questions, better yet, call Chandler, he’s an expert.
