Snow is Falling all Around Me

children playing... having fun! well.... change children for dogs... unfortunately Mr Petrie is not allowed off his lead even in the garden as he has a habit of disappearing out of the back of the garden!

Woke up to SNOW this morning and it's still snowing now.

Rainbow Cake

I've seen rainbow cakes on flickr and on people's blogs and thought Little A and Mummy should have a go ... so..... here's our attempt at it! we only had 4 colours and made little ones. But they look FAB!

Christmas Baking Day with Amber

Yesterday, Amber and I began our christmas baking. Look at Little A hard at work rolling rum truffles!

We also made some mince pies and jam tarts! yummy! The hearts on the tarts were a tad too large.

Here comes Santa Claus

on SPA this week we are going traditional with Santa!

Here's my postcard...

Alice Tags

Oh I had fun with these! I just love Alice and I love these images.... tags is the theme thursdayprompt.

Oh Christmas Tree oh Christmas Tree

Finally I have the tree up! I wasn't sure I'd get it up this year with all the rushing about I've been doing! so.... here it is in all it's glory (well without the lights on! lol) I love my tree to bits. it's so kitsch and gorgeous with all the pink decorations on it.

ouch, the peacock is a bit wonky on top!

What a week!

For the past week or so, I have been helping Miz Lils to make stuff for her stall on the gift bazaar. I mostly did printing and cutting out and the running around, whilst Miz Lils carried on in her creative manner so producing amazing hand-drawn bags, tshirts and hand sewn dolls. You can see all her creativeness on her blog here and here. Most of the stuff I wanted to keep for myself! lol

Here's a quick taster and

ta-da a new collage sheet of Alices! How fun! Can't wait to get some time to have a play with these images!
