and what better way to usher in the upcoming Thanksgiving holidays than with some "sweet" inspiration for your Fall dessert table...

These designer chocolate covered oreos from "Sweeties by Kim" are not only gorgeous...but they are delicious too!

7334

Having heard about "Sweeties by Kim" through the TomKat Studio...

7339

I knew I had to incorporate some of her goodies for the upcoming events on my calendar.

7341

During the collaboration, Kim and I decided something...

7349

We decided to offer my readers some of her beautiful, edible creations!

7364

And after a little bit of going back and forth...
We decided to offer up the goodies just in time for Thanksgiving...

7366

Which couldn't be more perfect since Thanksgiving is a season of gratitude...

7374

And I couldn't be more grateful for the many blog readers and facebook fans I have that continually reach out and offer tremendous support along my journey...

7371

And now I'm also grateful for Kim's generosity in offering one of you 2 dozen classic designer oreos!!!

choose from her Fall collection...
7362

Or pick 2 dozen in a design of your choice from her shoppe.
Are you SO excited!?

I can tell you this...
When I received these Fall cookies in the mail I was so excited to start photographing them.
And I was SO impressed with the detailed packaging Kim includes.
And I'm not really talking about the pretty gold box, clear lid, gold foil insert to house the cookies, the pretty brown bow or her gorgeous green & brown business cards.
No...
As pretty as all of that was...
I'm really talking about the insulated foil bag, the bubble wrap and the cool pack included.
The cookies were packaged so meticulously...to ensure their safe arrival.
And I SO appreciate the little things like that.

So...

I am especially grateful for my baby's fast recovery from cranial surgery last month. At barely three months old she inspires me with her courage and strength.

Julia Ryan said...

From her etsy shop-the pink polka dot oreos. Not sure if I'd gobble them up or fill and entire apothecary jar with them and pray they lasted forever.

Unknown said...

I'm grateful for my mother, she has helped me in so many ways. Even though when I was younger I was a horrible teenager. my mother still loves me and helps my daughter and I whenever we may need it
