Did you know this week was National Singles Week? There were a few great 'flower' moments that may have slipped under the radar including:
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - National Singles Week (9/19-9/25)
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Wife Appreciation Day (9/19)
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Love Note Day (9/24)
Did you send or receive flowers yet? Me and my single friends like to have a girls night out during National Singles Week (Vegas Anyone?) But that doesn't mean that a beautiful bouquet doesn't still make me blush!
What better bouquet to receive than one that is aptly named 'All About You', check it out:
Isn't it pretty?
Not into flowers or allergic and still want a piece of the action, try chocolate! or Better Still, Chocolate Covered Cherries! Fannie May® Chocolate Covered Cherries from 1-800flowers.com, they aren't just flowers you know!
Doesn't this make you want to reach into your screen and pluck one from the box?
Not a cherry lover you say? Then how about cookies? Not sure what her favorite cookie is? Then try an assortment pack, 1-800flowers.com has a Cheryl &Co.® Classic All Occasion Gift Tower that includes a delicious 4-box tower of sweets including classic cookies and brownies galore – and more!
These are definitely not like any other cookie, these cookies are baked fresh daily and frosted by hand with their famous buttercream frosting and individually wrapped to seal in the freshness!
And last but certainly not least, the item I reviewed, Junior's Triple Chocolate Cheesecake! This double layer dessert marries velvety Junior’s® cheesecake with rich chocolate ganache, then it’s topped with Junior’s creamy homemade chocolate mousse and coated in chocolate ganache and tasty chocolate chips. 3lbs of pure chocolate heaven. And it's Kosher!
I am definitely going to re-order this one! The mousse in this cake was light as air, and it's super rich, filling and so satisfying, so don't serve with your eyes, cut your portion a little smaller with this one, trust me!
I am off to sneak another little piece of this cake, so I'll leave you to the fun part!

NOTE: Twitter followers: please remember you must also follow Ascending Butterfly using Google friends connect on the upper right hand side of the page for your entries to be processed. And remember if your profile does not have an email and you don't leave your email in your entry, we will not accept your entry. Make sure your entry or your profile have your email address!
Just a helpful Reminder: How to Follow Using Google Friends Connect:
Please look to the upper right hand side, where the follower pictures are. (Note the number of followers before you start this process)
1) press the follow button - the google pop up wizard will open, this is not an ad and your pop up blocker will not block it
2) tick the option that reads 'follow this blog publicly' once that button is selected, hit follow again - it should now read 'you are now following'
3) if the follower count went up you know you did it succesfully, if your profile has a picture, that picture will be the first one on the left side. If your profile doesn't have one, it should still be searchable on the members list. (Remember, following a blog, does NOT subscribe you to receive emails, you have to subscribe separately to do that, you will not receive emails for following)
Are you getting the dreaded 'Your Entry Can't Be Processed' message when leaving an entry or comment? Before hitting enter, highlight your comment and COPY it. If you get that message after hitting enter and your comment is still there, just ignore the message and hit enter again, then you will get a screen with a captcha code, enter the captcha code, then submit and VOILA. If after you hit the submit button the first time, you get the dreaded message and the comment 'disappeared' no worries, that's why I asked you to copy it in the first step. Paste it back in and submit again. This has worked for me when comment boxes have glitched on me, and I hope it helps you too!
