    I think it's a good thing, and a real thing. Those little breaks are so essential! If I were nearby I'd brew you a cup! xo

    I think it's a good thing to take a few deep breaths and centre yourself when you're having that kind of day - we all do! Hope it gets better soon. And, the tea cup is gorgeous!

    Do I ever...??? Yep, yep yep! I hope you listened to your soul and had that cuppa or 2 in the garden. The good thing about lists... while deadlines might be missed, the lists will wait patiently!

    You and me and a cuppa or 2 together.... soon. xxx

    I think we all need to stop and take in a little deep breath which always goes best with tea I think

    I hear you! I am lying on the couch while I read this and feel guilty about it. But honestly, I have been working 14 hours a day so let's all take a break and enjoy it!! Your post has convinced me to stay at home for the rest of the day too.

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

Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish.

I love to try and make everything from scratch so why not ice cream, well I had a go and using an ice cream maker made it really quick and easy.
