I  was looking for a simple, cheap, and cute thank you for the girls at work who were throwing me a baby shower. I wanted something useful/yummy that they could take home with them. I usually bake cookies, but lately I’ve been really short on time, and who doesn’t like chocolate?! I saw this idea over at The New Domestic. Their version is kinda fancier, but I like my simple version using things I had on hand. I used things I already had on hand and only had to buy the chocolate bars. Look through your supplies and be creative!

Supplies:

• scrapbook paper (fabric would be cute too)
• clear tape (you could try glue, but I didn’t want to wait for it to dry)
• marker (stickers would be cute)
• paper doilies (you could also use ribbon, yarn, washi tape, stickers…)

• chocolate bars wrapped in…

Your blog has been nominated in two categories you know?

“oh really?, where?”

on nigerian bloggers award.

FOR BEST WRITING BLOG AND BEST PERSONAL BLOG

Each day starts with blogging. More than writing posts, I read, like, comment. reply.

Sometimes, one comment, sometimes back and forth. It takes time for me and them.

I don’t click “like” unless I’ve read the post. And I”d rather go to their website to click. It raises their hits.

I’ll write a poem, post a quote, compose an essay. Then go to my files. find the right shot, upload that.

Not on a daily, trying not to overload my readers with too many posts.

I had no clue how much I’d enjoy a community of creatives. Writers, poets, artists, humorists, explorers of their inner and outer worlds.

Social media? Yes, but not like Facebook and not like Twitter.

Blogging is people taking the time to write or photograph or paint their lives, their loves, their passions.

It’s people finding others who share these lives, loves, passions.

Or, learning about lives different from their own. My own.

It’s richness in a smaller world. A world that will never be the same for me since I started my blog.

SO CLICK AND VOTE NOW, YOU ALL DESERVE IT AND GOT M’ADE HERE, THIS IS AIMED AT INCREASING INSIGHTS AND VIEWS OF OUR READERS!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!!!
