Let's Link Up! {FEATURE TIME!}

Insert me doing my happy dance! I'm SO excited right now I could SCREAM!!! Because LOOK! There's my beloved pictures! Which means I have some catching up to do!

 I'm not going to bore you with the details, but I went on Picasa {which is where all the blog photos are kept} and tried to delete some hoping it would make more room... I totally forgot that it warned me it could take up to 24 hours to notice they were deleted! All I needed was some patience I guess. :)

Anyhoo! Since I only got 7 links, instead of only picking a couple to feature, you lucky linkers get a little minute of fame! Be sure to visit some of the links and leave a comment or somethin'! Thank you everyone who linked up!!! Hopefully next weekend we'll have a better turnout!

Bummer.

Hi everyone! Well I have some bad news. 

As I was trying to upload pictures to a post,

it said that I ran out of storage space and I have to purchase more storage. 

The only issue is,we don't have a way to pay for that right now, 

and until we do, I shall be taking a break from posting {besides guest posts and link parties}...

I don't know when it'll be fixed, but let's be praying it 

will be soon! It looks like I'll have a lot of posting to catch up on! Thanks for understanding!

Coffee Cake In-A-Cup

{FROM HERE}

This stuff is SO good! This was from the second time I made it...

The first time I used half an egg and I liked it WAY better. This time I 

used a whole egg and as you might be able to tell from the pictures, it was

a little to eggy for my liking! 

Other than that, it's cakey, cinnamon-sugary, crunchy goodness! 

Coffee Cake In-A-Cup

{Mix everything together in a coffee cup}

1 tbsp. melted butter

2 tbsp. sugar

1/2 egg

2 tbsp. sour cream

a few drops of vanilla

1/4 c. flour

1/8 tsp. baking powder

Mix it all up!

If you want some crumb topping... 

{You know you do!!!} 

1 tbsp. butter

2 tbsp. flour

1 tbsp. brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

Smoosh it up and add it to the cup.

Microwave for about 1 minute and add ten second increments to your liking...

ENJOY!!! :) 

Also, the link party is ending tomorrow! Please be sure to link up

your last minute goodies! Thanks! :)

A peek into my new room!

I did my best to go with a "vintage-y" type theme... 

I'm in love with this rug! 

My little collection of Eiffel Tower-ness! :)

Please meet my new best friend Coconut Lip Butter!

I got it at the Body Shop in Windhoek last week. I think they have

that store at home although I've never been in it.

My closet! Fancy, I know! ;) You can't see the inside

yet because it was super messy when I took the pictures!

Maybe some other time though!!! 

Tada! What do you think?!
