This one is different! It's pretty! Don't know how I would do with the coconut/cranberry combo, though. Sounds interesting!

I drink vicariously through your Friday night posts. It's pathetic, I know...but I look forward to them. Keep them coming!!!

Also, I was going to comment on Purple Hoodie Chick's blog, but her comment button seems to be broken. I don't know if it's her new layout or what...maybe it's just me. Perhaps you could pass it along to her!!!!

I love the color, this would be perfect for a Pampered Chef party I am hosting!! Coconut rum is a favorite of mine. Who thinks up the drinks? Do you take turns?

Raoulsygirl - I know coconut and cranberry sounds like an odd combination, but the taste reminds me of sherbet. I'm glad you like the drink posts. We enjoy creating them.

I told PHC about her comment button. She's trying to figure out how to fix it.

Donna - This is a perfect drink for your party! It will seperate after a while with the pink foam rising to the top and the darker pink liquid on the bottom, but that looks equally pretty.

The process for deciding what drinks to make changes from week to week. Sometimes we want to use what we have, sometimes we want to try something new. It's usually pretty collaborative. We've made some duds, too. I just don't post them! The spiced rum/mixed berry daquiri was really bad!!

It's Wednesday, Welcome Back To The Cocktail Party!

Welcome to Willoughby's Blog Style Cocktail Party. I hope you will find some new blogs to follow and expand your circle of blog friends. I know you're all anxious to mingle, so I'll get right to it. I'd like to introduce Deidra from Jumping Tandem .  I know you'll enjoy her blog as much as I do. Keeping It Real.... Deidra I'm an East Coast girl living in the midwest because I love my husband (I call him "H" around here) and his work brought us here. We have been blessed with two amazing children (currently in college) and an empty nest that I absolutely love! Don't get me wrong, I love my kids but they're destined to change the world and they can't do that living under my roof (although they're welcome back anytime for love, prayers, support, encouragement, and of course homecooked meals and clean laundry). Did I mention that H is a pastor? So that makes me the pastor's wife - but don't let that blur your vision. H is...

Bugging Out

By
Spring is such a wonderful time of year.  The birds have returned and greet each morning with their lovely songs.  The tree branches are covered with green buds ready to burst into life.  The grass has shed it's yellow/brown pallor in favor of a lovely emerald.  The air is warm and breezy.  It's all so lovely except for one thing.  The bugs. Because of our nearly uninhabitable climate during the winter months, we don't see many bugs from late October through early April.  I almost forget how much I hate them until they come back.  And they know I hate them so they taunt me.  Ever since the thermometer hit the 60 degree mark, we've had flies congregating around the back porch.  I can't sit out there and enjoy my morning coffee without having them buzz past me. Now, flies I hate, but spiders I absolutely loathe.  Friday morning I walked into the bathroom to dry my hair and spotted what I thought was a bumble ...

It's Time For A Giveaway!

By
I am excited to announce that Novica has, once again given me a $50 gift card to award to one lucky winner.  If you're not familiar with Novica , they work in association with National Geographic to bring the work of talented artists and artisans around the globe to the rest of the world via the internet. Shopping their website is a unique experience as you can view information about each artist along with the works they create.  It gives each item a very personal feeling.  In the Keepers Of The Arts section, you can watch videos of the artists at work. I love Novica so much that I could go on and on telling you how wonderful their website is, what great customer service they have and, especially, how talented the artisans are, but it would be much more fun for you to see for yourself.  Before you head over there, though, let me give you a sneak peak of some of the wonderful things you'll discover (and maybe help you find some unique Christmas gifts). Wool...
