Handcarved Stamping along :)

Ever since printmaking at TAFE I have not really got back to it until....a tutorial came along from Two Cheese Please, to refresh & re-inspire.

I had my first attempt last night for a simple, yet cute Cupcake.



Looking forward to some more free time tonight to try some more.

    Very sweet indeedy! I was able to have a go once and loved it but never quite got my act together on sourcing the rubber. Apparently it's necessary to go to the ends of the earth???!?!?!

I have been extremely lucky with blog giveaways lately and have won an extremely beautiful pack from the gorgeous and lovely Liesa at Handmade Heaven and a very supercute Bugga Bugs giveaway hosted by the very, very talented Alicia at The Red Deer , so a very BIG thank you ladies! If you haven't visited them yet, why don't you pop by for a visit and enjoy their fabulous blogs! So to give back to the good Karma giveaway fund, I visited a cake decorating store for some inspiration...and I came out with a box full of cupcake papers, that's about 600 or more. I think I was in that shop for a good 45 minutes, I am not joking, it's like a kid in a candy store...or a fabric store for my lovely sew crafty blog friends :) Now all you have to do is leave a comment, nothing much, just a hello or share a joke. I'll leave it open till midnight Saturday the 31st of October and also the end of Blogtoberfest and draw a winner from a hat or bowl or bag and announce it on Sunday...

Honey Jumbles

I just realised that I have been using honey and spices in alot of things lately, I guess it's because it's winter and the smells and tastes make you feel warm and sweet.
