Today I am grateful for...

new cousins


baking cupcakes


baking mud cakes (with fresh coriander of course)

creating sweet fondant smiles

Thank you for the sweet wishes, my sister thanks you and is enjoying her new baby boy and can now say she is surrounded by boys, three gorgeous little boys.

If you are in Australia you will definitely be enjoying this wonderful spring day and if not I hope you are keeping warm lovely friends. (edited to add that it may be raining elsewhere)

I'm off to bake some banana bread for my sister who will be going home from the hospital soon. 

Happy grateful weekend to you and hope you can share your grateful list too ♥

    And I love the pixie dust that keeps falling.

Would you like to win some cupcake papers!

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

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.
