First I want to say thanks to those who follow or read my blog...
I have been a little lacking in the motivation department this summer which coincidentally ends up with less blog posts. ha! I am trying to start it again, using the start of the new school year as a new beginnings of sorts.
So I am moving over the posts from my other blog, Sew Seraphic to here though.

As most of you know, I have made a new blog, Sew Seraphic Life, and have been posting on there for the last month now. However, I don't want to let this one get away, so I am moving over to wordpress and will continue to work from there as The Periwinkle Pixies. You can find my new
Wordpress Blog Here.
To be honest, I am not sure if I will keep Sew Seraphic or not.

Chocolate....
So I love chocolate.
When I say that, I really mean is that I go crazy - can't live without - must have or die - need Chocolate to survive. It's bad, but also so delicously good at the same time. I can it all day, any time of day.
It only made sense that when I came across this recipe that I add it to the MUST EAT NOW list.
What's the MUST EAT NOW list?

Have you ever won anything?
I normally have pretty good luck with winning things, just small things though....

I told my husband I was doing this give away and using random.org to generate a winner.
