Hugs ♥

Thank you all for opening your arms and giving me what felt like the biggest cyber hug ever!!
You had me in tears and you made me feel the grief and to be able to let it out and I really appreciate that.
Thank you ♥
We headed to Daylesford yesterday to visit this lovely magical place called Lark. We were welcomed by the ever so beautifully smiling Allison & left with some wonderful Christmas gifts.
We then had a fabulous pre Christmas family get together before my beautiful sister-in-law leaves for the U.K.
Beautiful day, fabulous lunch, great family get together, lovely presents and lots of smiles and laughter. Very much needed indeed.
Hope you had a great weekend

    Allison's work is so fantastic, such authentic pieces in a world full of fakes, she's a true shining star. I'm delighted Daylesford offered you a little of its healing powers Cathie & that you were able to share it with all your precious ones.

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. 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.

Berrylicious ice cream recipe and a giveaway for you

As the weather warms up the kids tend to ask for something cold and yummy to enjoy after school. Reading the ingredients labels on ice cream I feel at a loss trying to figure out what all those numbers mean, I mean really, it’s just ice cream, how many ingredients need to be in there after all. 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.
