Baking day ...

I baked a cake today for our craft group tomorrow,
sorry girls but you won't be eating it,
I've put it in the bin :(

Recipe looked good, no eggs, a bonus for me as I can't
eat them.Anyway I burned it LOL Better luck next time eh,
think I'll stick with the lemon drizzle cake in future.

Made some more books today, but will try to upload
pics tomorrow.

Can you tell what it was yet ?




No ?  ......... Well I'll tell you then.It used to be a teabag box :))

I love making little books, so when I was filling up the t-bag caddy, as you do, I thought 'I like the feel of this cardboard' and got to work on it straightaway. It's amazing what you can do with stuff you
 would probably throw away.
I covered it with basic grey papers and used a few of my new CS stamps, cos I know someone who can't wait to see them :))
Don't know if they show up too well tho.

Well it's been quite a sad afternoon.Son and I attended the funeral of his 'best' teacher, who sadly past away two weeks ago at the young age of 45yrs.
Overwhelming it was too, all the youngsters from the school were there, very brave all of them.Mr C was a very appreciated man, loved and admired by so many.Some beautiful memoriums were read out by his close friends and family.Son was determined to say his last goodbyes and went to pay his respects at the coffin, I was proud of him for doing that.

Anyway I have sat and cut out for a while to take my mind off things - so here is Februarys giveaway, containing pkt k& co tags,pkt k&co sayings,pkt of 1inch squares,pkt of flower embellishments,2 x pkts of ATC size card (approx 15 in each).Leave me a comment to put your name in the hat :) I will be drawing the winner out at the end of the month.

You are a Lavender Rose



You represent love at first sight and enchantment.



Your vibe: intense and intriguing



Falling in love with you is: deep and meaningful

Morning..





from a dull Cheshire.Not the lovely sunny weather we've been having but at least it's not raining yet.
Do you find when making certain things that you become ..... er .... little obsessed.I know I do, well I've had a go at making boxes from a scrapbook magazine, made a black & white one a few days ago, couldn't resist doing some more so here they are ... along with more little books of 2 little cuties :)
and then of course I made an ATC book, more addiction :) 2 more made.It's amazing what you find when clearing out, the second atc book is made from pics in a
 magazine that a rellie in Michigan sent me a few years ago, along with some delicious fruity bits.
The one with the birds on, I did make a few weeks ago & just added some words and bits.I'm really pleased with the way  they turned out.

Happy crafting xx
