Welcome to the Arborescence. Today, Regina at the Creative Kismet has initiated a Brooch Giveaway in which I am participating. If you would like to win a brooch leave a comment below telling me about your favorite party food. Entries will be accepted until midnight tomorrow. The winner will be picked on Thursday.

I have been on a homemade cakeballs and pigs in a blanket kick lately for our parties. Oh and I found a really yummy and easy baked spinach and artichoke dip that I have been making.

I love a warm jalapeno artichoke dip... I could dip anything in that! Your flowers are just lovely, the green one is so springy, I just love it!

I just love the brooches you have made for the exchange. Oh my favorite snack is a three cheese warm dip in a bread bowl - totally yummy on our cold winter evenings!
Thanks for the blogger world welcome! I am excited to share to everyone! I still have to get all the backgrounds and tabs etc. all set up but I am learning.

Those are beautiful! I especially love the green one. Hmmm my favorite party food?? I love party food - there's just something about having a plate of all sorts of different litle yummies. I love the cocktail weiners in the sweet and sour sauce.

I totally love your brooches, thank you for your generosity and the chance to win.
Being Mexican I of course love chips & salsa and nachos; raw veggies with a yummy dip and bruschetta are also favorites :)
Warm greetings from Mexico~

Greetings from snowy Minnesota. What beautiful brooches you've made! I like fondue as a party food.

Beautiful! My favorite party food to eat at a party is spinach artichoke dip because I'm the only one in my family who likes it and don't get it at home. If I'm having a party I like to put out cream puffs, super easy and super yummy!

So pretty! For parties, I love baked brie (in autumn/winter) and spinach&artichoke dip w/crackers (spring/summer).

I love the brooches! The green is especially fun because it's got the stripes, but honestly they are all beautiful! Well done!
My favorite party food is pita bread that we cover with a layer of cream cheese mixed with powdered Italian salad dressing and cut into little wedges, then we place a slice of cucumber on each one! So easy and so yummy and never any left at the end of the party!

The orange one is fabulous!
My favorite party food to make is layered dip with homemade salsa as the top layer and Tostitos lime flavor chips.

I'm too late for the giveaway, but I wanted to say that these are beautiful!
My favorite party food... I like making bruchetta with fresh garlic, tomatoes, olive oil, and Parmesan. :)

Hello There,
After deliberating I have decided to give everyone who entered a brooch. So I went back to the fabric store and created more flower pendants. Please email me your address at arborescence[at]ymail[dot]com and I will get them in the mail.
Have a lovely day, Karen
