Just me


It's just me, taken a few days ago but a self portrait opportunity appeared today and I wanted to share me.

Nothing glamorous, no make up, just me and my cake and what appears to be a deep look of concentration.

Want to peek at some actual lovely faces, pop by here and I hope that you will share you as well.

Have a great day ♥

    That's a lovely self portrait Cathie, and a rather impressive looking cake, if I don't say so myself. Thanks for stopping by my little blog space, I know it has sat sadly neglected for awhile. But I am between jobs at the moment, so I am looking foward to giving out a little blog lovin' :) xx (hee hee, almost had a typo that said bog lovin', oops)

    Surely there cannot be a better way of showing a self portrait (and in turn winning many friends), than with such a huge delicious looking cake. In fact I may have to be your friend forever now :)

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.
