pretty packages


Thoroughly spoilt this week with wonderful packages of loveliness from the wonderful blogging world and virtual friends.

Thank you Beck for the ever soo generous package you put together that practically had everything in it...not the kitchen sink, BUT organic garlic...and chocolate, yummy handmade soap, button hairclips and how could I even begin to describe the amazing little pirate bunny that you specially made for a certain little boy (who also happens to have a stitches scar)...and yes he feels as soft and cuddly as he looks. Thank you ♥

This wonderful brooch by the amazingly talented and new again mum Rachel, thank you ♥

Hope you can pop by and visit these lovely sweet ladies and say hello.

Happy day lovely friends, I think I need to go off and ponder how I can now spread some more love and repay the good Karma.

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.

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.
