YOU GOTTA' LOVE AN ARTIST WHO PAINTS PEEPS!!.......







I am almost ashamed to admit...I have never eaten a PEEP.  In fact...I didn't even know they existed until a few years ago when my husband's sister made such a big deal about letting them sit out until they got hard....because they were better that way.  LOL .... WHO KNEW??

I also cannot believe they come in so many colors...you can find a PEEP to match your decor...how great is that!!

Gads....when I was a kid I was lucky if we got dyed Easter Eggs....and I never got Easter candy.  I obviously need to make up for lost time.... (O: (O:

PEEPS don't really ring my bell...but See's Candy does.  I'll let you know how I do once I get my pound of dark chocolate covered almond clusters...Oh....be still my heart!!

BTW.....you can find the wonderful PEEP artist here.


She also paints some other AMAZING THINGS....I THINK YOU WILL ENJOY HER.

Hugs,

Jo

  2. I only like hard peeps. Yum! When we were kids my sister and I always got to color eggs and we each received a chocolate rabbit with a sweet bow, hers usually blue and mine usually pink because I was always the girly one. I hope you get a huge box of See's candy this year!

  3. Peeps have always been an Easter candy tradition with our family. I haven't tried hard ones though. They never live long enough at my house to get stale. I do enjoy See's candy too. You really can't beat good chocolate.

  4. I don't crave peeps but they are kind a cute. For chocolate I like Dove dark chocolate squares. I have read in Prevention Magazine that eating Dove dark chocolate has some health benefits, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL

  5. I like the ocassional peep but it's those dark chocolate peanut clusters from See's that ring MY bell too. I checked out Oriana's site. I would not have guessed any of her works were oils. Amazing technique and detail (not to mention some amusing subject matter).

  6. Peeps are great toasted like marshmallows over a fire (or grill). Don't try to microwave, tho!

  10. Peep! I've always seen them, however, with all the hub-bub this year I picked up a 3-pak of yellow with chocolate base and one chocolate covered peep.
    I've chomped the head off one peep - - not a peep fanatic ! !
    Here in mid-MO Russell Stove chocolates are favored . . . . . well, my way of thinking
    SEE'S CHOCOLATES are the ONE AND ONLY ! ! ! !
    I need a mercy package of See's from California.
    Hugs,

  11. I know, i was thinking the same thing...i saw peeps the other day in lime green!!! i don't do peeps either - i love the reeses eggs!

  12. I've never eaten a Peep either. I'd love to try one but they come in such big packages, I don't want to buy them. Maybe someday they'll sell individual ones. But eating a Peep would probably send me into a sugar coma anyway.

  13. Those are SO cute.

    Peeps are the kind of thing that sneak up on you. You eat one, and then you eat the whole box! It's an acquired taste of sorts. LOL!

    XO,

  14. Boy I haven't had peeps in a long time! I too, like them left out for a few days when they get hard...much better that way. LOL

  15. Hi Jo, Thank you for stopping by my blog. The side table I got at Goodwill. It just needs a fresh coat of paint. I do like peeps but your right See's candy would be much better.

  16. We always had peeps in our Easter baskets. I love them after they've been sitting out, and get a little hard. I can eat a whole box without a problem. Love my peeps! But, I will only eat them at Easter.

    I even got to go on the Peeps Bus when it visited a local grocery store about 6 years ago. Seriously. There is a Peeps Bus that travels around the country. Amazing :)

  17. I never ate a Peep either. Have no wish to. I love sweets. But these look kind-of tooooo sugary sweet. Kind of like cotton candy 'strikes' me.

    Gentle hugs,

  18. Hmmm, guess I wasn't the only one without Easter candy....And I don't like peeps, too sugary. But I'll like the painted ones. Going to see...OH, going to look. See is the good candy:) Enjoy being a kid again!

  19. Hi! I came over from Galen's last post - and loved the photographs down the side and was enjoying them and then came to PEEPs.

    I have one child who loves PEEPs - she is a school Librarian and lives near Galen! I just had to comment.

    I love dark chocolate SEES myself - especially nougat - awesome bars...and my mum was a scotch mallow fan.

    Loved this post and went to check out your link to a PEEPS artist.

    I liked your Venice painting on the home page too...nice spot you have here :)

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
