Good Morning Darlings!

While perusing Foodgawker.com the other day, I spied this lemon cookie that looked fabulous. I followed it to the blog from whence it came and found a treasure.

Let me introduce you.

Monstrous Dinner Party Fun!

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

As many of you know, I have started a business teaching etiquette called Dazzling Manners. It’s tons of fun, and every once in a while I like to bust out and have a little more fun. Sometimes not in the best of taste, but I can’t always be sitting around with my elbows off the table.

What could I possibly be talking about?
