Sunny’s “Be Happy Hour!”

I had a lot of fun hosting my first “Be Happy Hour” a few weeks ago. We used the cocktail shaker to shake those blues away! Thanks to everyone who tuned in! You can watch it up on my Facebook page. Hope it gives you a chuckle! And, I hope you’ll like my page! I look forward to doing another one later this month. …….Stay tuned! ~ Sunny

National Martini Day! Cheers!

In honor of National Martini Day I have cooked up something extra special and serving up some fun wearing my fun, new apron that I created for the dish that doesn’t cook, but still likes the dressing! 😉 You can get your very own by clicking the apron link below. I hope you enjoy the video ~ and the apron! ~ Cheers! Sunny xo

P.S. I have lots of other fun products available featuring the same design so make sure to browse around while you’re shopping at my Zazzle boutique:) Thank you so much, Sunny!

A perfect gift for the dish who doesn’t cook, but still likes the dressing. ~ You are sure to keep up appearances as the “Hostess with the Mostest” when you take that selfie wearing this fun, retro inspired pinup girl style apron. ~ After all, you wouldn’t want to give the wrong impression.

 

SUNny DAY Post: X-Mas In July…….in August!

It’s that time of year again! Actually, it was that time of year again last month for our annual X-Mas in July “Epic Southern Living Magazine Christmas Cake Baking Party!” However, this year one of my nieces couldn’t make it for any dates in July so we moved it to August.

I was able to do just that when my darling husband agreed to play along (did he have a choice, really? 😉 and help me live out my Fourth of July picnic fantasy this year.

(We will see how long that lasts! 😉 Anyway, we spent the day visiting an American Village and stayed for the amazing fireworks display and it made me feel perfectly patriotic and, as always, proud to be an American and blessed with our freedoms– thanks to all those who serve and have served, and fight the good fight. I’m talking patriotism – not politics- here:)

Here are a few of my “Must Haves” for a perfect picnic anytime:  Continue reading
