Belles 'n Whistles "Snow Babies Collection" Release and Bloghop

Welcome to the official release of the Belles ‘n Whistles "Snow Babies Collection".  So to celebrate this fun release, we are having a blog hop.    Are you surprised?  Ha ha

You should have arrived here from Jodi's Blog if you haven’t, you will definitely want to go back and start at the beginning of the Blog Hop.  We have a lot of fun, and inspirational things to show you today, not to mention some awesome recipes.  I LOVE sharing recipes, don't you?   

I have been dying to show you what I created with a few things from this new release.

But before we get started, I thought I had better share some of the important stuff.

First and foremost, I wanted to let you all know that Summer from Belles 'n Whistles has graciously decided to donate 10% of all proceeds from THIS RELEASE toward Breast Cancer Research.  Pre-orders begin: TODAY, with Shipping beginning on Friday, October 29th.

 Last year about this time, our dear Jacque was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.  She's been through several treatments, and has been fighting like a girl all year.  I am happy to say that as of right now, she is CANCER FREE.  Unfortunately she decided to step down from our DT when things just got so crazy for her.  We still keep in tough, and Love her dearly!  

Just a couple of weeks ago, we got the news from another one of our DT sisters.  Elise announced that she'd just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer.  Our hearts were breaking for her, and all that she has to face.  Our sweet Jacque has taken Elise under her wing, and I just know that Elise will also "FIGHT LIKE A GIRL" 
I'm praying every day for the women out there who have to battle this cancer, and try to overcome it all. 

So in honor of our DT sisters, Jacque and Elise, 10% of the proceeds from sales of any of the "Snowbabies Collection" toward Breast Cancer Research.

If any of you wish to help promote the sales, please feel free to take the tag and post it on your own blog.  It's for a good cause.  

Alright, now, with that said, I am going to show you what I created for today's Blog Hop.

 

I have a close up of the front of the card so you can see these

little cuties much better.

 I used "Snowbaby Sledding" as well as "Snowbaby in Snow Gear" for my card.
I originally was going to just be using "Snowbaby Sledding" but who goes sledding all by themselves?  I mean I can say that I HAVE when I was younger, but it's not nearly as fun as going with a friend.  So the little Snowbaby in Snow Gear stands there waiting at the bottom of the hill.  Aren't they just the cutest?

Now I did say I would share a recipe, didn't I?

Well, not only am I sharing a recipe, I'm showing you the jar I put it in. You may have seen it in the first picture, but here is a close up view of the Jar of "Cinnamon Coffee Cocoa"

Cinnamon Coffee Cocoa in a Jar
makes 40 and is ready in about 20 minutes.

Ingredients:
2 Cups   Sugar

1 1/2 Cup  Instant Coffee

1 Cup   Nondairy Powdered Creamer

1/2 Cup  Cocoa Powder

1/2 Tsp.   Ground Cinnamon

Combine all of these ingredients into a mixing bowl, and stir well.
Pour it into an air tight jar, decorate, and you're done.

To Serve:  Add 2 - 3 Tbsp. Cinnamon Coffee Cocoa Mix to 1 Cup or Mug of Hot water.  Stir, and enjoy!

Note:::  ALL of this did not fit inside my jar, I had extra left over, which I used.

I hope you try this one out, and see how you like it.  Enjoy!!!
