Here's to a fabulous 2010!

I'd like to sit down and reflect on the year that was but honestly, it was such a painful and heartbreaking year for my family that I am glad to see it go.

I wish you all the very best for the new year, with love, laughter, hugs and good memories.

Remember to hug your loved ones really tight when you get the urge to, because everyone needs a good hug every so often.

Love from me to you my friends.

    Oh darling... you've made me a little teary this morning but that is okay you know, because everybody needs a little (or big!) cry sometimes, just as much as they need those hugs.

    2010 will be amazing my Sweet. You just wait & see. You deserve it & so it shall be.

    More hugs to you & yours, and the biggest & best wishes, thoughts & happiness for the new year.

    xoxo

    Cathie, I hope that this year is full of many new and exciting things, wonderfully happy children, lots of hugs and kisses, delicious baking, too much laughing, coffees with friends and fancy sewing projects.... all new and lovely memories. And time to remember things and people, with hopefully less tears and more smiles. xxxxx

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. Honey Jumbles ingredients 90g butter 3/4 cup honey 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons mixed spice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons milk   icing 1 egg white 1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted vanilla extract  strawberry paste Method Place butter and honey in a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil over a low heat.

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.
